All fresh florals will be provided by local flower farm - Modern West Floral Co.

Vanessa is owner of Modern West Floral Co. With a background in landscape architecture and design she moved to Colorado's western slope in 2012 to gain experience growing food and managing livestock. She spent 3 years at Sustainable Settings Ranch in Carbondale, 2 of which she managed the market garden and small CSA. She returned to her landscape architecture background and was brought on as a landscape designer at DHM Design. With a background in native plants of the western slope she wanted a way to showcase the beauty of the natural landscape and use her design background. In late 2015 she co-founded Modern West Floral Company. She lives on the flower farm in Silt with her husband and son. Modern West provides seasonal cut flowers to the Roaring Fork Valley and Colorado River Valley May-October.
