Who I am

My name is Jen. I am a wife, a mother,  a teacher, and  the owner of Sunny Spot Flowers.  I started on this journey in 2021 as a way to share my passion with the world.  Growing flowers has proven to be such a therapeutic experience for me.  Not only did I fall in love with growing flowers, but I had no idea I would get even more joy out of sharing them with all of you.  The outpouring of support we have received is heartwarming, encouraging, and exciting.  When I first decided to go public, I was terrified.  It was definitely a huge leap out of my comfort zone.  The ultimate push was realizing that I'm always telling my daughters and students that "you can do anything you want to do if you work hard enough" and to "never be afraid to pursue your dreams", yet I wasn't truly living up to those words.  And so, I figured it was time to lead by example.

The Story Behind Sunny Spot

I used to think that my dream of starting a cut flower farm was unattainable because I didn't live on an actual farm and I didn't have acres upon acres of land.  I finally came to the realization that this was a limiting belief preventing me from following my dreams.  Fear can have such a crippling effect and I was definitely letting it get the best of me.  Things began to change for me when I stepped out of my comfort zone and started by simply creating a social media page solely devoted to my gardening journey.  One thing led to the next and before I knew it, I was sitting on the porch swing trying to decide on a name for my new business.  

We live on 2 quiet acres on Jugtown Mountain, located in Hunterdon County, New Jersey.  Our property is surrounded by large, mature trees which means we do not get a lot of full sun exposure.  Because of this, I found myself chasing all the 'sunny spots' and establishing gardens in those areas.  And so, Sunny Spot Flowers was born!
