Just months after planting the first seeds of her dream, Lindsay’s flower farm was swallowed by six feet of floodwater. What followed was heartbreak, healing, and an unexpected rebirth. Nestled at the foot of a mountain in BC’s Sumas Prairie, Rookie Blooms Flower Farm isn’t just a place where flowers grow. It’s a sanctuary where beauty, resilience, and quiet magic bloom side by side.

A sea of luxurious purple lavender stretching toward the misty mountains where the scent in the air is as soft as the view. There’s a quiet kind of magic here, the kind that lingers long after you’ve left the field.
