My flower journey began training as a florist. After courses and certifications, I was disenchanted with the process of working with imported products.

So, 4 years ago I started growing cut flowers in my backyard in Atlanta, while working in the film industry.

After my daughter was born, we moved to Loganville to expand production into a flower farm. Now, we’re going on our second season growing commercially!

The company is named Fugate (Few-get) in honor of my Grandmother (her maiden name) who shared her love for gardening.

Thank you so much for being here and sharing this dream with me. ~CJ
