Flowers are our muses–they help us understand who we are and how to uncover our resilience and inner strengths. They show us what community and friendship mean, and they can teach us how to live with purpose. In being a smaller farm, we are able to offer quality, regionally adapted flowers to our surrounding mountain and prairie communities. We welcome love in all forms, and offering beautiful flowers to others for their rituals of love and healing is what makes our hearts sing!

ROCKY MOUNTAIN BLOOMS (RMB)
Welcome to Rocky Mountain Blooms, I'm Diana. When we bought our three acre property 15 years ago it was my dream to start a flower farm. I officially started my farm operation in 2018 with the support of my husband, Terry, focused on dahlias which I have grown for over 30 years. It has always been my favorite since I lived in Oregon in the late 90's just five miles from Swan Island Dahlias. I love experimenting with new varieties of flowers that are compatible in our Colorado climate and region. All our crops are hand tended, from the initial starting of the seed to the soil prep, planting and harvesting using sustainable practices at every step. Let's grow the domestic flower community, one stem at a time! Thank you to the Colorado Flower Collective for creating these opportunities.

Rowdy Poppy is Kim’s way of diving deeper into plant cultivation, swirling in her love of design, and leading a local and eco-friendly path for the future of floristry.
