Our Story

It Began in Childhood

In many ways, Persian Peony started when I was a child. Nature was at the heart of my early life: my father pressing my hands into the soil to plant tomatoes, my mother creating art from whatever the garden offered, and long walks with my Aunt Martha, who taught me the name of every flower we passed. Those moments planted something in me that has never stopped growing.

The Garden

Flowers Are My Therapy

What began as a refuge during Covid, a larger vegetable garden and a bed of dahlias, has grown into a business that brings me joy, connection, and a chance to be creative. Today I grow and design flowers in New Canaan, Connecticut, from arrangements and seasonal subscriptions to flower bars for brands, nonprofits, and celebrations.

Every Bloom Supports Education for Peace

Sixteen years ago, I founded the Blossom Hill Foundation, a nonprofit that invests in education programs for children affected by conflict. Its mission of education for peace is one I continue to pour my heart and soul into, and every dollar you spend with Persian Peony supports that work. The seed-to-bloom circle of growth is a beautiful thing.
