What are we about?
Our Story
Rooted in the Desert. Grown with Love. Shared with You.
The Metal Petal began with a simple desire: to be surrounded by the rugged beauty of the Arizona high desert and the vibrant colors of a garden in bloom.
What started as a personal passion for growing flowers slowly blossomed into something more. With every rose planted, every new variety discovered, and every season spent learning from the garden, I found myself wanting to share a little of that beauty with others.
Nestled in Rio Rico, Arizona, The Metal Petal is a small-scale flower farm rooted in a love for nature, creativity, and the simple joy that fresh flowers bring.
There is something special about flowers grown close to home. They don’t have to be perfectly uniform or travel thousands of miles to be beautiful. Sometimes the most captivating blooms are the ones with a little character — shaped by the sunshine, the seasons, and the unpredictable nature of growing in the desert.
Beautiful Flowers Should Be for Everyone
My vision for The Metal Petal isn’t to become a large commercial flower operation. It’s to create something personal, meaningful, and connected to the community around me.
I believe the beauty of locally grown flowers should be accessible, not reserved for extravagant occasions or special celebrations.
Whether it’s a small bouquet to brighten your kitchen, a thoughtful gift for someone you love, or simply a handful of colorful blooms to make an ordinary Tuesday feel extraordinary, I want to make it easy to bring a little of the garden into your everyday life.
Small Farm. Wild Heart.
Every flower grown here is part of an ongoing journey of experimentation, patience, and discovery. From romantic garden roses to colorful seasonal blooms, I grow what inspires me, embrace what thrives in our unique high desert climate, and let each season bring something new.
The Metal Petal is a celebration of growing things, finding beauty in unexpected places, and sharing the simple pleasures of nature with the people around me.
I’m so glad you’re here, and I hope these flowers bring you even a fraction of the happiness they’ve brought me.
Wildly grown. Beautifully arranged.

Our Process
Each bouquet we offer is hand selected stem by stem, cut and arranged on the morning your garden bouquet is scheduled for delivery. Each bloom is preconditioned for quality and vase life before being added to your arrangement. All bouquets are delivered wrapped in floral paper, ribbon, with a bouquet tag. You may include a personal message and a vase can be included at your discretion.
Garden Blooms
Our yearly planting schedule is designed for the texture, movement, and color palettes we like for our bouquets that season.
Nature Decides
While we put a lot of time into planning our floral choices each year, ultimately what grows and blooms is up to Mother Nature. Each bouquet is one of a kind.
