Welcome to Stephanie's @ billysgardens.com!



Here, you can view the plants I grow, seasonal wreaths, floral arrangements made to your order, and you can also ask me any herb question that you may have.


I have been interested in flower and herb cultivation and arranging for over 15 years. Practicing and honing my craft, I've learned what I can grow, dry, and preserve for the highest quality and color.


For years now, I've owned and operated my own business, 'Stephanie's Floral.'

 You may have been to one of my wreath-making classes at City People, or have seen my wreaths at some of the finer floral shops in the greater Seattle Area.


If you would like I can design a wreath or arrangement to your own specifications — just email me or call me direct @ 800-417-6387.Over the past years, I have learned how to choose the best flowers and herbs for arrangements.

Robin's Nest

A Robin has built a nest in the basil Vertigrow. We think she is the same robin who built her nest here last year.

Part of organic gardening is, of course, using natural predators (like ladybugs) to control damaging pests.
