Owner's Story

My grandmother sold flowers from a little roadside stand outside Wilmington every spring.

Tulips first, then daffodils, then whatever survived the rain. She kept the money in a cigar box and trusted people to make their own change if she was inside making lunch. Most people did.

She had worked hard all her life, cleaning offices and raising four children, but the flower stand was the thing that made her smile. She liked seeing people stop for something beautiful on the way home.

Delaware is small enough that ordinary places become landmarks if your family loved them.
