In 2016, Magnolia’s Yarden began with succulent wreaths made at my kitchen table, with minimal resources and no pop-up or entrepreneurial experience. Wouldn’t you know it, I went on Facebook Live at my very first pop-up.
Here are a few photos from then to now. Some raw and a few curated.
That first Fresno ArtHop night, I remember standing in front of a downtown gallery feeling equal parts excited and unsure, hoping people would connect with the succulents I had brought.
They did. And that encouragement changed everything.
What began as a creative outlet grew into something deeper. A yarden turned microfarm. Selling succulents eventually led to selling edible flowers and cut flowers. That leap from succulents to edible flowers is its own story. But those early lessons about patience, care, and growing with intention still shape everything I do today.
Ten years later, I’m growing dozens of varieties of cut flowers and edible flowers, sharing them with chefs, bakers, and people who care about beauty and flavor living side by side.
Same heart. Better systems. And so much gratitude for the community that made this journey possible.
Thank you for being here as we step into the next season and decade of growing together.
