Hi, I’m Cassie & welcome to my secret garden in the city!
After 20 years in Austin, it was time to live my dream of growing cut flowers in Central Texas. In Austin we can grow flowers 365 days a year, so at the Lazy Lady we work to bring beauty into your life every day.
I spent 12 years in North County, San Diego as a child where breathtaking native poppies & wildflowers grow on roadsides and in sidewalk cracks. As a child, I thought giant blue agapanthus always grew along the freeway! My friends and I would skate alongside fields of flowering purple ice plant, and every home had a garden instead of a lawn.
After leaving California, I returned home to Texas where I’ve spent the last two decades learning how to grow — even in our harsh summer climate.
My vision is to bring my unique, flowering past to Austin’s most special neighborhood. I envision a Wooten with flower fields replacing lawns, where we can all grow our own bouquets fresh from the garden.
At Lazy Lady Flowers, I combine my studio art training, deep knowledge of color theory, over 20 years of floral experience, and discerning style to curate an elegant, whimsical collection for clients, neighbors, and friends to enjoy.
The Lazy Lady Vision
& how I plan to grow into a Wooten Park essential for you & your family
Most of all, I want Lazy Lady Flowers to be a community staple & your go-to local floral source in North Austin!
My strategic vision for the farm:
Ensure an easy, contactless bouquet pickup at the farm in Wooten Park with ample, free parking
Mixed bouquets, available weekly, in fresh, trending color palettes during the growing season
2” and 4” plant starters in trending color palettes, available seasonally during both Fall and Spring planting seasons
An in-depth collection catalog so you can browse every plant we grow, and plan your own garden alongside ours!
Simple, short youtube tutorials about growing cut flowers in our unique Central Texas climate.
My long-term dream for the farm:
A limited, highly curated menu of wedding & special event floral elements (bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, floral crowns, etc.)
A limited, highly curated menu of Do-It-Yourself floral buckets for weddings & special events
A limited, highly curated menu of holiday florals to celebrate life in Wooten Park, including Back to School sunflowers, Thanksgiving centerpieces, Easter wreaths, a Mardi Gras-themed zinnia wall, football season Hook ‘Em-themed u-pick flower sessions &, of course, Mother’s Day bouquets!
Seasonal photography sessions for high school seniors, prom, and graduation photos (note: photo sessions will always require a security deposit); as a teen in San Diego, we took pictures on the beach on special occasions & I would love to offer the same opportunities for our rising juniors and seniors in north Austin here at the farm!
Spring break & summer camp classes for ages 10+ to encourage the next generation of flower farmers! I spent 4 years as an after-school art teacher & ran summer camps throughout Central Texas. I hope to one day forge a partnership with north Austin youth who dream of continuing the American farming tradition, in their own unique way. Classes would focus on urban farming, sales funnels & agricultural topics (IPM, soil health, planning & product management)
