the beauty of nature
Welcome to the portfolio of farmer-artist Stephanie Castle. I grow flowers organically from seed on my farm and hand-dry them to craft sustainable home décor, wedding arrangements, and storefront window installations.
Elevating the beauty of nature through hand-dried flowers and foraged wild treasures.

Services
Dried Flower Wreaths
My first love. All my wreaths are handmade using foraged and sustainable bases and my own flowers. They are available by request from early August through January. If hung indoors away from sunlight and moisture, they will last for years. If hung in a protected area outside, they will stay beautiful through at least a season of exposure to the elements.
Everlasting Bridal
Choose sustainable, local and organically grown flowers for your big day. I love creating bouquets, boutonnières, centerpieces and flower crowns that will last for years. I also work with fresh flowers to create arbors and unique floral backdrops. Recently married? Please get in touch about bouquet preservation! I hand dry bouquets so they last a lifetime.
Bespoke Dried Flowers
I create custom everlasting bouquets, dried flower wall art, garlands, and storefront window installations using my own flowers and foraged woodland pieces.
