Colie Collen, founder, farmer, and designer at Flower Scout, brings her love of all things wild and seasonal to her work. After many years farming on the West and East Coasts, her interest turned to flower production in 2012, and subsequently to design. She seeks to create individual experiences for clients, based on the colors, textures and shapes the land/garden/season is creating at a particular moment, with customers’ aesthetic preferences continually in mind.
