Meet Kara
Blooming Joy began after Kara lost her mother, Joy, and found healing in growing flowers. What started as a small garden became a place to teach, create and help others experience that same connection to beauty.
Today Kara grows in Middle Tennessee, creates educational resources and shares the real rhythms of a working flower garden with a growing online community.
