Hi!

We’re Karly & Karen, a.k.a Verbena Living: a mother-daughter duo that live to create! Sunny Northern California is our home.

Verbena has morphed over the passed 8 years from a brick and mortar florist, to a flower farm, to a creative maker & farmer-florist studio or a Verbena Living way of life!

Both my mom (Karen) and I (Karly) decided we wanted to get back to doing our favorite things. We are branching out a little from flowers to leave more time for crafting beautiful goods for the home. We are makers at heart and love designing with flowers, textiles, wood, metal…anything really.

Word of caution: pretty photos make our life look perfect, but that is far from the truth. Aching backs, cut up hands, and stained & torn clothing is the real truth. We work hard and struggle daily to stay true to ourselves. Even with this struggle, we know our purpose is to create and share those creations with you!

View our goods on our Etsy Shop or view our Flowers page for our floral services.

MEET KARLY

I’m Karly, the daughter. I heart my hubby Greg, my cats named Mouse & Dusty, and old farm trucks (especially my ’69 IH Scout). I am a total DIYer and love working on projects of all kinds, from wood to metal to watercolor. When I’m not creating or farming, I work behind the scenes for my husband’s business, Rock & Road Performance. Boy am I proud of that guy!

MEET KAREN

& This is Karen, my mom. She loves flowers. It was her dream of owning a flower shop since high school that started us on this crazy journey! She also hearts sewing and textiles, camping, her hometown in Utah, & her family. She would do anything for us and is the kindest and most caring mom around. If she isn’t in the garden, you can find her digging through her stash of vintage fabric, tablecloths, and linens and sewing on one of her vintage sewing machines.
