About Us
Beginnings
Hi! I'm Moira and I have loved flowers ever since my Mom and Dad read Planting a Rainbow by Lois Ehlert to me as a small child. I was inspired to grow and arrange flowers by Floret Farms Cut Flower Garden. I have been arranging hand-tied bouquets since 2019, using the flowers grown in our yard. "A Humble Wayside Flower" refers to a line from The Scarlet Pimpernel, by Baroness Orczy referring to the English wildflower, a scarlet pimpernel. When deciding on a title for my business, I wanted a creative name that had a special connection to me. I have loved The Scarlet Pimpernel series, and I love reading literature. Having a title that connected one of my favorite books with my passion for flowers means so much. A Humble Wayside Flower started in 2022, and I have been learning so much ever since!
Specialty
Using fresh flowers grown in the backyard garden I create:

The Beauty of Flowers
Once I started arranging flowers, I began to really notice the beauty of every flower - whether it be a sophisticated rose, or a wild coreopsis. I hope to share the beauty of nature into people's homes so that they can be inspired by the charm and elegance found everywhere there is a flower growing.
