Hi, I’m Sarah — a mum of three, a backyard flower grower, and the hands behind every bouquet at Grown by Sarah.

Flowers are my happy place. What started as a few seeds scattered in the veggie patch has grown into a full-blown obsession — one that has taken over my garden, my spare time, and honestly, a big piece of my heart.

There’s something special about growing flowers. It’s slow and grounding, full of little wins and constant lessons. It connects me to the seasons, to nature, and to something a bit softer in a world that often moves too fast. When I’m in the garden — muddy hands, sun on my back, surrounded by blooms I’ve grown from seed — I feel completely at home.

I grow everything myself, right here in my backyard in Blenheim, New Zealand. My flowers are grown with care, using thoughtful methods that balance beauty, productivity, and the realities of small-scale growing. Every bouquet is a little love letter to what’s blooming right now.

This little business is built around joy. The joy of creating something with my own hands. The joy of sharing beauty with others. The joy of watching a tiny seed turn into something wildly abundant. It’s also a way for me to show my kids what it looks like to follow your curiosity, work hard, and build something that matters — even if it’s just from a tiny corner of your backyard.

Grown by Sarah is more than just flowers. It’s a celebration of the small, the seasonal, and the local. I’m so glad you’re here.
