Hello, I'm Vanessa Lee and I'm so happy you are here!

As an Australian that moved to the USA to marry my sweetheart in 2014 I found myself truly at home once I started my garden. Gardening has been a huge part of my life for the last 25 yrs and has always grounded me bringing immense joy. Like many others during the pandemic I decided to tackle something a little different and Pepperwood Flower Farm was born - a micro cut flower garden and floristry business in Long Beach CA. Pepperwood flowers supplied flowers to the downtown floral district partnering with Gather Flora, and focused on many gorgeous weddings along the Socal coastline! This year an exciting opportunity for my family to move to North Carolina was presented and we grabbed it with both hands. 2025 holds many exciting opportunities to grow a new cut flower garden, continue to Blog and DIY and bring you all along for the journey. A new farm stand will be opened and a place at the established Leeroy James Farmers Market. Most importantly I am the proud momma of Amelia-Mae, Isaiah & Ava and wife of  my devoted hubby Matthew.
