That do-it-yourself approach has become one of Burgh Blooms’ features, allowing customers to purchase buckets of blooms and arrange them themselves. Deer had devoured her flower beds, grown after countless hours of nurturing seedlings indoors. Neighbors chat as they walk past, and one grows vegetables in one of her raised beds. Friends occasionally gather for work days during the busy growing season, but Burgh Blooms remains largely a one-woman operation. It just might take 18 raised beds and a few motion-activated sprinklers to get there.
