A new self-serve flower stand has opened on 437 Redwood Street in the heart of Brookings, right across from Sprezzatura Pizza. Flowers by Jessica is owned and operated by local Jessica Dora, who grows all of the flowers for her stand right here in her own Brookings backyard. With a local, personal touch Jessica is hoping to bring a pop of color to Brookings and its visitors with special weekly arrangements cut straight from the garden.
This means getting pesticide-free, fresh-cut flowers hand arranged by one of Brookings' biggest green thumbs. The self-serve stand invites visitors to walk right up and peruse, hoping that even browsers have their day brightened by the vibrant, hand-made displays and arrangements. Sneak peaks of the upcoming ‘Arrangement of the Week’ are posted to the Flowers by Jessica Facebook page.
“I also just love it when people come up to the stand to take in all the beauty! That’s what it’s there for!” said Jessica in her most recent post. Jessica decided to take the leap and open the stand with encouragement from her husband. “All the flowers I sell I grow from my own garden.
My husband said, ‘you should sell your flowers...
you can start marketing them’, I said ‘Okay shoot, why not? I’ll give it a try’,” said Jessica. The stand is open daily from 7 am to sunset. “If you see flowers out there and the open sign is up, then I’m open,” said Jessica.
“I always like to decorate my spaces and make them look nice and pretty. S.
