Welcome to Andover Flower Farm!
This is the season! After 3 years of building infrastructure, and turning into a total soil nerd, I am trading in my business clothes for coveralls and becoming a full-time flower farmer.
Join me on this journey as I navigate the fascinating world of regenerative farming.

The seed for Andover Flower Farm was planted when I began sharing garden blooms with the residents of a senior housing and health services campus for their dining room. Residents were so excited to see new flowers every week and to share elicited memories that I was fueled to bring more flowers to more people.
Flowers make everything better!
SUPPORT FROM ONE OF THE RESIDENTS . . .
“I just want to tell you I wish you could hear all the comments I’m hearing on the darling little flowers and the cute little vases all tied up with bows on every table.
You’re something else. How exciting that you’ll have your own business eventually and how can you help but do good with the talent you have.
Sally, Augustana Resident
Residents love and appreciate Marlene’s flowers – they help create an inviting dining room.
