GROWN WITH GRIT & SHARED WITH LOVE
I was 9 months pregnant with Mary, working an office job, when I got the text from Albert. He was at a property showing and said "this is it." Without ever seeing it, I said "go for it," knowing that if he thought we could make something of it, it was a go.
With a plan and offer in place, the seller accepted and we purchased our future farm in March of 2019.
There was not a field in sight. It was home to broken trees, decaying plant material, bullying vines and an unlivable dwelling. Despite being a farm in years past, the good souls who had tended to it had long passed leaving it left untouched for decades.
We loaded up our bags, tools, equipment and baby Mary to get to work. We spent a sleepless year cleaning up the land before growing anything — making 2020 our first growing season.
MEET THE FAMILY
FARMER-FLORIST
Rebecca Sadlowski (Becky) has a passion for connecting to the land and sharing it with the community.
“I always knew I wanted to be a mother. How that role came to be was never pre-determined. Whether it was tending to a flock of hens, caring for fields of plants, adopting children or having my own, in some way, shape or form, I would be caring, nurturing or giving birth to something.
The growing, building and creating within that “space” has been family and Rooted Flowers.
Rooted Flowers is where the passion for agriculture meets floral design.
HEAD OF ROLLING STOCK
Albert is the backbone in the restoration of the farm and endlessly supportive of all our endeavors.
He is relentless in his efforts to make systems on the farm more efficient and reliable, for better, more sustainable flowers. From babies to equipment, he oversees all operations and can literally fix anything.
You can find Albert out on the tractor with one of his loyal co-pilots Mary, Julia, or AJ.
PETAL PICASSO
Mary is an active part of all that happens on the farm each and every day. She is up for early morning waterings, has an eye for colorful arrangements, and tags along on deliveries. She can be spotted driving her John Deere power wheels, or chasing after her best friend, dog Lyle. She’s learning all about the hard work and rewards of agriculture and adores her little sister.
ENFORCER
Don't ask Julia twice! She's always ready to dive into the action and usually has something to say about it. She's the first to turn up the radio to start a dance party and the last one to leave a weedy bed. This determined soul keeps us on our toes.
Learning all the ropes early, Julia was harvesting dahlias within 72 hours of birth.
LOYAL COMPANION
Lyle is never far without the children and when he not being a best friend, find him scouting the fields for fun things to find.
Too lovable for his own good, watch out — he may try to steal a kiss!
OUR WHY
At Rooted Flowers, our logo is more than just a design—it's a representation of our values and our brand. Our three-flower logo represents the deep connection we have with the earth and our belief in the power of rootedness. The flowers also symbolize the three pillars of our brand: honoring the seasons, family, and individuality.
As a mother-child relationship is one of the most powerful connections in the world, our logo pays tribute to this bond and the love and nurturing it represents. We believe that by staying true to ourselves and embracing our unique qualities, we can form deeper connections with the people and the world around us.
At Rooted Flowers, we are passionate about fostering connections and helping people get rooted in their communities and in nature. Our logo is a reminder of our commitment to these values and the beauty that can grow when we stay true to ourselves and our roots.
