While gathering flowers, her vision narrows its attention to the glorious expression of life suddenly confronting her. Her focus tightens on the incredible intricacies of its delicate form.
She is in love. 

Strolling along among the flowers (and their uncanny ability to induce bursts of radiant happiness) Melissa Gardner chooses those that call to her, creating supple, expressive bouquets full of movement. 

Loving the nitty-gritty, down-in-the-dirt appeal of growing her own flowers, in just four years, Melissa has transformed her quarter-acre lot in Ballston Lake into the dreamy Sweety Pea’s Flower Farm, a micro flower farm delivering fresh bouquet subscriptions to 65 delighted recipients each week. 

When she’s not brightening the day for locals, Melissa is giving brides a variety of ways to let their own love of flowers blossom.

Flowers Your Way 

Naturally lending themselves to garden-inspired soirees, Melissa’s loose, fun style has lots of room for flexibility. Because she doesn’t use a recipe, there’s no formula for her fabulous flower combinations, and one bloom can be replaced with another to best suit your specific color scheme. 

Perhaps fragrance transports you to a special memory - with enough planning (about a year before your wedding) Melissa can grow that specific flower just for you. 

For those who are six months out from the big day, her à la carte wedding menu lets you pick and choose flowers from a list of options. Really want to let your creativity take centerstage? Experience the magic firsthand when you order buckets of bridal blooms and arrange them yourself. With Melissa’s help, you can even set up a full Bouquet Bar and let your bridesmaids in on the action.
