Why is it called Landon’s Gardens? WHY did I start this crazy obsessed flower business? (please hear me out. It might be long and not perfect.) Let alone converting a hayfield ➡️ to a flower field? •GRIEF• stay at home mom with 4 girls,(2-9). When we are out and about people still ask “all girls?” At this point, I just smile and nod. But it wasn’t always that way! In reality, my ONLY son is in heaven. We squished a lifetime of snuggles into 12 hours. At a Normal full-term appointment, we found out there was no longer a heartbeat. Next thing you know, our lives are turned upside down and we’re delivering our son, stillbirth. Landon Tyler. Perfect in every way, but no heart beat. He would be 4 this year and is our only boy. Four years of grief, heartache, and loss….. it changes you completely! Whether you like it or not. . I know, it happened to me. God has carried us through.🤍 I always loved flowers. But my obsession from Flowers took off about 9 months after. It was something that allowed me to feel again, cope, think, and start to function in somewhat of a normal matter. A traumatic moment that will change the way you see everything and function! I always wanted to change the horrible situation into good… That is where this little business and legacy started! (This all came overtime.) I loved learning new things flowers. Grief into blooming something beautiful! . Giving back to those that are going through all the hard stuff! They are not forgotten. Cancer, stillbirth, loss, grief, & childhood illness….. . It is part of my mission to help them feel the “hug of God’s love” through people and Flowers, around them. . We can’t change the world, but we can change, how we show-up for others and the small moments that can brighten their day! Grief is lonely, and it stinks! Satan likes to get in our heads and use it to bring us down. which is why I am using grief and stillbirth to start something beautiful. Heavily leaning on prayer and God’s direction. A legacy to remember my son by. Something beautiful!💐 -Remember every time you buy a bouquet. There’s most likely one going to someone, who is going through a rough time.💔 ⬇️continued in comments⬇️ by @landons_gardens

🍁Modeling and featuring some new fall decor, products! . Grown from seed, nurtured, harvested and crafted by yours truly.❤️ by @landons_gardens
Life gone too soon. Some never got to walk this earth, but they made a big impression on it. Back in May, Gloria and I came together at the Adalyn Rose Foundation’s Mother’s Day event to create a flower bar for the moms who joined us. Sharing that day meant a lot, and I’m grateful we’re coming together again! We wanted to build community, raise funds for the Adalyn Rose Foundation, and remember our dearly loved children and all the little lives missed by the families who carry them in their hearts. We are doing a family day at the farm. EVERYONE IS INVITED! . Come spend time among the flowers, support a wonderful local nonprofit, and join us in honoring the little lives we love and miss. . Their lives were far too short, but the love they brought into our families, is still here. . “In a world of grief and pain, flowers bloom even then.” Gloria has put months of planning, so much thought, and many sleepless nights into making this happen. I can’t wait for you to see it—it’s going to be gorgeous and memorable! ❤️ Remember & Bloom Friday, October 9, 11 AM–7 PM. (I recommend grabbing a family ticket ahead of time!): ***link is in the comments/hazel in bloom website. by @landons_gardens
One of the reasons we’re hosting Remember & Bloom is to make space for families to have their grief witnessed and their babies remembered. Sometimes, one of the most meaningful ways to support someone is simply to remember with them. Everyone is welcome, whether you’re coming to remember your baby, support someone you love, or simply enjoy a day at the flower farm. You don’t need to know someone affected by pregnancy, infant or child loss to join us. There will be u-pick flowers, crafts, face painting, food, a Photo Booth, a butterfly experience, and time together. Bereaved families will also have the opportunity for a personal butterfly release. If you are a bereaved parent, you can invite loved ones to stand beside you, or choose a quieter, more private moment with your family. There’s no expectation to have your release witnessed by others or to share your story. Take part in whatever way feels right for you, and enjoy the rest of the day at your own pace. If someone you love has experienced loss and you’ve wondered how to support them, you could ask if they’d like to join you—or even offer them a family pass. Simply being willing to remember their baby with them can mean so much. Remember & Bloom is Friday, October 9, from 11 AM–7 PM. A $35 family pass includes admission for two adults and the children listed on your pass, plus one U-pick cup. Crafts, face painting, Photo Booth, the butterfly experience and more are included; food, coffee, and shopping are optional. The Butterfly Release is for bereaved families only. So come enjoy a day at the farm, and support local families navigating this life changing journey. A portion of ticket sales benefits the Adalyn Rose Foundation, which support families through pregnancy and infant loss. Tickets are available at the link in our bio. by @landons_gardens
