Laura is both an amazing artist and a beautiful soul. A small group of strangers met at a support rally for Ukraine and within 3 weeks pulled together a fundraising event that would show the beautiful aspects of Ukrainian culture and raise money for humanitarian relief. I reached out to Laura 2 weeks in advance of the event to ask if she would join the fundraiser and help to weave Ukrainian flower crowns (Vinoks) for the women and children at the event, the vinok is a very important part of our culture. Laura agreed immediately, within a few days had 5 helpers that were all volunteering their time to harvest the flowers from the Swallows Secret Garden and putting in the time to practice and perfect the Vinok weaving techniques! They even had info sheets at their work station that explained the history and meaning of each component of the vinok, the dedication! We did not expect the massive attendance that we got, but Laura and her team did an amazing job weaving all day until the supplies ran out! I am totally blown away by the amazing ladies of the Secret Garden, these were the most beautiful Vinoks I have ever seen in my life. The level of detail, perfection and generosity is mind blowing, meanwhile all of the proceeds were donated to the fundraiser. On that amazing event on Sunday at Hallcrest Vineyards, we had little kids running happily around with their flower crowns as well adults that during such a difficult time, had the chance to fall in love with the beautiful story of vinoks and feel like kids once again. Thank you Laura and team for your hard work, with actions like these we can change the world!
By far the most beautiful bouquet I’ve ever received!! Can’t believe the level of care put into selecting each flower, the attention to detail is amazing. Absolutely gorgeous.
Great service from a locally owned business. Arrangements are well done and flowers look great.
I’m truly so lucky to have stumbled onto Swallows Secret Garden, there was something so homie and feel good about her site. I wanted to support someone locally during this time. She was so kind and really listened to what I wanted for the bouquet for a friend who lost his cat. Everything she picked out was something meaningful for healing, serenity, heart shaped leaves. Truly a gem! I hope I can use Swallow’s secret garden again. It was truly a pleasure & did such a beautiful job.
Lovingly grown beautiful organic flowers thoughtfully arranged in artisanal bouquets that are customized to the occasion or the recipient.
