Please join Lara Jackson as she shares the joy of growing flowers from her Oconee County specialty cut flower farm. Wolfsong Flowers is Lara’s woman-owned and operated home-based small business—a specialty cut flower farm and blossoming botanical art studio. For Lara, growing cut flowers and sharing the beauty of local flowers from her farm has been a deep passion and an immense labor of love. Wolfsong Flowers has served as a farm/florist for four years, offering a wide variety of flowers and greenery to florists and locals. In addition to fresh flowers, Lara grows crops for drying and crafting, she presses flowers and foliage for artwork and makes epoxy resin cast botanical jewelry. In addition, she specializes in bridal and memorial flower preservation.

Lara is a Georgia native and UGA alumnus with a B.S. and an M.S. in horticulture with a thesis focus on GPS/GIS and plant conservation. She lives in Bogart with her husband, two sons and two cats. Her resume includes working at a local Athens Horticulture Analytical Lab, part-time employee of the State Botanical Garden of Georgia, as a special education paraprofessional, as an accessions/receiving specialist at the UGA Veterinary Diagnostic Lab, and being a stay-at-home mother.
