Dear Flower Friends & Kingstonians,
You’ve probably wondered where we’ve been over the last year. After taking some time to fully process, we felt we owed you an explanation and a formal farewell.
Just before opening for the 2024 Season, both of us dealt with life events that forced us to make some really difficult choices. We ultimately decided that closing down the business in order to shift priority to our health and our families was the only path forward.
We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We were welcomed by Kingston residents and businesses alike, including the late, great Shannon Castillo of Thistle Floral & Home, who greeted us with open arms and taught us the true meaning of “community over competition.”
You supported us and cheered us on for 3 years. You helped us grow our dream into something far beyond what we could have ever hoped or planned for. We will look back on this chapter of our lives with fondness, pride, and delight.
It was a great honor and privilege to bring joy to our community through the thousands and thousands of flowers we grew at Brightside Flower Farm. 💐
With all our love, gratitude, and continued friendship,
Amber + Rachael
