Flowers are blooming sunshine
Braids and Blossoms Flower Farm is an intimate flower farm located in the charming town of Tenino, Washington—an unexpected destination tucked just off Sussex’s main street.
Our fields produce seasonal blooms from late March through mid-October, offered several times each week during peak season. Each bouquet is artistically created, thoughtfully designed to highlight the natural beauty of the flowers and the sentiment of the event.
Founded in 2016, Braids and Blossoms has grown from sharing a few handfuls of flowers into a full floral experience. Today, we provide custom wedding florals, weekly bouquet offerings, special-occasion arrangements, and creative class options—each rooted in craftsmanship, creativity, and a deep respect for the growing process.
At our core, we believe flowers should feel personal, artful, and memorable—an experience as beautiful as the blooms themselves.

Our story
My love for gardening and flowers was developed early. Many of my most precious memories are from gardening with my grandfather. He’d pull me around in his wagon down the flower lined paths of his garden. This is where I learned the magic of seeds. He’d place these little miracles in my small hands to plant in the dirt. I learned to appreciate the full cycle of growing. I experienced the process with all of my senses, hands in the soft cool earth, smelling the scent of sweet flowers in the air, and listening to the quiet whispers from leaves in the breeze. From as long as I remember, I have been sharing fistfulls of flowers with others.
Picked with care
Flowers bring beauty into a space, comfort to a friend, love to your partner, and smiles to those who need one. I’m inspired daily to continue growing beautiful blooms. Sharing this passion with others brings me such joy.
We offer freshly cut flowers from mid spring to the first hard frost in October. Our flowers are cut, arranged, and in your hands within twenty-four hours. We strive to grow the highest quality, most beautiful, and longest lasting flowers we can.
In early spring you will also have the opportunity to purchase dahlia tubers to grow your own picking garden or to just add a splash of beauty throughout your yard.
Select vegetable and flower starts will be available in May and June along with some unique seed offerings.
