I come from a long line of women who love to garden.

I named the company Fugate in honor of my Great-Grandmother, Mary Louise, and Grandmother, Mary Edna (their surname). Everyday is better having spent it in the garden. I’m so thankful for their influence that led me to this path.

I started my flower journey with training as a florist. After courses and certifications, I was disenchanted with the process of working with imported products, so I decided to learn to grown my own flowers.

After 3 years of growing flowers in my Atlanta backyard while working in the film industry, I moved to Loganville with my family to expand production into a farm.
