Working with the seasons to be as sustainable as possible. Local Grown Fresh Blooms are available only during Our growing season, which Mother Nature decides.... providing dried flowers and cut flower seeds during Our colder months.
JoAnne Lewis- "I know stuff and I grow stuff"
From an early age, my love for plants and flowers was firmly rooted in meaningful experiences with family. Some of my favorite memories are of sipping lilac nectar with my Grandma and planting bright marigolds each spring with my Mumma. I’ve always felt most at home outdoors, spending countless hours as a child wandering through the woods, gathering dandelions, and marveling at nature’s tiny treasures such as mushrooms and lichen.
In high school, a horticulture class sparked my passion for floral design, setting me on a path I’ve followed ever since. Over the years, I worked at flower shops of all shapes and sizes, starting from the ground up. From sweeping floors to crafting elaborate arrangements, I gained hands-on experience in every role the industry has to offer. These years of hard work built a strong foundation, transforming me into the designer I am today.
While I loved the work, I eventually realized I wanted something more—a deeper connection to the flowers themselves. I decided to shift gears and grow my own blooms, embracing a new adventure with Petal & Twig. With a Master Gardener certification from Michigan State University, I felt ready to take this exciting step.
Now entering our seventh season, Petal & Twig has been steadily expanding, offering new varieties of flowers earlier in spring and later into the fall to keep the beauty blooming.
I’m passionate about creating arrangements that reflect nature’s diversity, blending unexpected textures, colors, and shapes. Each season brings new inspiration, and I can’t wait to share this journey with you as we continue to grow, evolve, and discover new ways to celebrate flowers.
