EVERY BOUQUET GIVES BACK
Our Story
Petal by Petal began in honor of my sister, Dawn.
After losing her to cancer, I needed somewhere to put my grief. Somewhere to grow something beautiful from something incredibly hard.
Dawn was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer at just 32. Throughout her journey, Dana-Farber became a place that meant so much to our family.
They helped bring her into remission, and when her cancer returned years later, they gave us more time with her, something we weren't ready to let go of. Because of them, we were given a few more years with her, something we will always be grateful for.
What started as a small roadside flower stand has become something more meaningful than I ever imagined. Last year, every single dollar earned was donated to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in honor of her memory.
Petal by Petal is more than a flower stand, it’s a space where beauty, grief, generosity, and community meet.
It continues to grow, one season at a time.
Our Commitment
As Petal by Petal evolves, we are building a sustainable model that allows this small flower stand to continue giving back for years to come.
10% of every transaction supports Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in honor of Dawn. During our first season, the Petal by Petal farm stand raised $1,000. We proudly matched that gift, allowing us to donate $2,000 to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Each week during the growing season, one bouquet will be gifted locally through our kindness initiative to someone impacted by cancer or grief.
We look forward to continuing to share her story in new ways, allowing these flowers to carry light, comfort, and happiness into the lives of others.
Growing beautifully. Giving intentionally.

Training & Ongoing Learning
In addition to completing the Floret Flower Arranging Workshop, I continue to pursue education in floral design and sustainable mechanics, deepening my skills as the garden, and this little business, continue to grow.
