Grower Nicole Rosenberger has been growing beautiful sustainably grown cut flowers at Turtle Rock Gardens in Silk Hope for three years. In early 2019, Nicole moved to North Carolina from Pittsburgh where she had been growing and selling vegetables and cut flowers through a local farmers' market. Once in North Carolina, she started working at Red Roots Farm and soon expanded her flower operation on land adjacent to Red Roots. She quickly became known for her beautiful bouquets!
Nicole markets her flowers through Community Supported Agriculture (sign up in the spring to receive weekly bouquets!), through farmers' markets (info below), and wholesale at Chatham Marketplace in Pittsboro and Carolina Eclectic in Ramseur. In addition to the fresh bouquets and stems she also offers dried flowers and wreaths in the fall.
You can find Turtle Rock Gardens at the Fearrington Farmers’ Market (Tuesdays from 4–6 p.m.) and the Chatham Mills Farmers’ Market (Saturdays from 8 am-noon). Follow them on Facebook and Instagram. Email Nicole directly if you are interested in connecting with her.
