Hi, I'm Holly - the grower and designer behind Artelia Florals.

A few years ago, a cross-country move and a new house with a neglected lot brought me back to the garden. I'd forgotten how much I loved it. There is something about watching a seed become a flower that never gets old. I wanted other people to feel that awe too.

I carved out part of our 1/4 acre Tacoma lot and treated it as an experiment. A small stand went up out front, neighbors stopped, and the garden slowly became something shared. Some people wanted to stay close to it beyond a single visit. That's where The Stem Society came from: seasonal bouquet rounds, intentionally small, grown chemical free, delivered to your door while everything is at its peak. 

That's the whole idea, really. Flowers grown in their season, shared while they're still worth sharing.
