About Fostering Flowers
We’re a small, family-run flower farm in the foothills of North Carolina with a passion to grow and give beauty through flowers.
It started with a dream for Brittney in 2020, but got cut short initially with the pregnancy of their second son, Ivy, who was born with numerous mid-line abnormalities, including Spina Bifida and chronic lung disease that requires a trach (to name a few). Now Brittney and Robbie, with their sons, have a newfound perspective and even greater passion to share beauty through flowers with people.
Brittney’s background and upbringing have carved a way into the flower farming world. She is a fourth-generation farmer who did not initially jump into flower farming but was led to find beauty through dirt while stepping down from her teaching job and becoming Ivy’s full-time caregiver at home. Brittney graduated with her undergrad in environmental studies, so with this knowledge and experience, she developed a passion for caring for people and the planet.
As of 2023, we are officially a 501C3 Nonprofit, meaning we can further our growing and giving beauty through sustainable flower farming to those impacted by disabilities like our family!
“In the hard times, beauty is among the first things we abandon; in the hard times, beauty is among the things we need most.”

What We Offer
Our flowers are grown using sustainable growing practices, including no synthetic pesticides or herbicides. Our sons are putting their hands in the same dirt our flowers grow in, so we have a high standard in the foundation of our garden.
We have had a long desire to support those in the disability community, and since the birth of our son, Ivy, it has only grown deeper. Our family has been encouraged by the resilience and joy of the disability community. With Brittney’s experience in special education teaching, the caregiving of Ivy throughout his four and a half years of life, and our family’s continual involvement with Levine Children’s, the Cleveland Vocational Center, and North Shelby School, our family continues to lift up the need for people impacted by disability to have a voice and a seat at the table.
We offer Custom Bouquets, Wholesale to local Florists, Small Events, & Bulk Buckets for DIY Events/Weddings
You can find our flowers weekly at Beldevere Station in Shelby or order directly from Brittney!
