The workbench, 37 Wall St.
OUR STORY · A ONE-ROOM SHOP, TWELVE FARMS
Twelve farms,
one tiny cooler,
and a workbench in
the front window.
Petal & Bloom opened in 2014 in a single room on Wall Street, with a cooler the size of a refrigerator and a Tuesday-morning standing order from three farms. The cooler is a little bigger now. The order is from twelve farms.
Everything in the shop is sourced from within a hundred-mile drive — the French Broad valley, the Hickory Nut gorge, a tulip grower in Boone, a dahlia farm in Hendersonville, and a single fragrant-rose breeder up the road in Marshall. If it doesn’t grow here, we mostly don’t use it.
