Among the Wyldflowers was a dream that I’ve had since I was a little girl. Well, maybe this exact business wasn’t what I had in mind; but, as life so often does, it changed my little-girl wants, desires, and interests into ones that I can use to benefit others. In the latter part of my teen years, I found myself increasingly interested in health and all-natural, non-toxic living, for which I have my mother to thank. While doing research on the simple, natural type of life I wanted to live, I discovered that many of the common things in our every day lives are slowly poisoning both us and the planet. I researched all-natural and organic clothing, and one thing led to another… Suddenly, I was picking wildflowers and soaking them in water to see the different colors of dye I could create.
The name for this business came from a song by Tom Petty, called “Among the Wildflowers.”
As the lyrics goes:
“You belong among the wildflowers
You belong somewhere close to me
Far away from your trouble and worry
You belong somewhere you feel free.”
My father dedicated this song to my mother while they were still dating. What a wonderful tribute to them to name my business after something so personal, since I never would have gotten to the point of starting my own business without their help and guidance!
Among the Wyldflowers is a dream come true, and I hope it blesses you.
