About Us
Welcome to Tranquility Lane Flowers
~ Established 1990~
Tranquility Lane Flowers is cut flower farm & flower deign studio located in the rural mountain town of Whitethorn, California. Our wild and lovely flower farm is located on the country road that is our namesake ~ Tranquility Lane ~ just a few miles out of the town of Garberville, in far Northern California.
Our floral designs have a regional flavor with added touches from our forest foraging to add wild & seasonly beauty reflective of our lovely area. We grow a large variety of gorgeous flowers here on our farm offering you the finest quality and freshest locally grown blossoms available.
We love our planet and strive to keep our business as green as possible by practicing organic regenerative & sustainable flower farming techniques. We care deeply about the environment, soil & water and are committed to conducting our farm, studio & online business in harmony with nature.
If you love local, sustainably and naturally grown flowers, you’ve come to the right place.
Donna Lovatto
farmer & designer
From a very young age I knew I needed to follow my heart & express my creativity. Thankfully, I found my passion & inspiration connecting to nature. Born & raised in Los Angeles, I always dreamed of living in the country, so when my husband Danny & I found our lovely wild farm here in the Lost Coast region of Southern Humboldt we knew we had found home. We established our flower farm so that we could work from the farm while raising our family. Our family & farm has grown over the years. Today the grandchildren run wild through the mountains, rivers & fields while we work raising our flowers, food, chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, dogs & sheep along side the flowers. Floral design & gardening have continued to be my passion. I love all aspects of flowers, from garden to vase. We started out by selling our flowers from a flower cart in the early years, (pictured below 1990!) in downtown Garberville. About 10 years later we opened our cute little shop. This shop thrived & became the local go to florist in Garberville! Those fun & busy years of being in a flower shop taught me the skills of a master florist. But I missed my garden, so we moved back to the farm & now work from a studio right here on the farm. I have been an avid plant collector my whole life, so this almost 40 year old garden is home to a huge collection of specialty cut flower varieties of perennials, shrubs & trees that I use for my daily arranging. Flowers are still what spark my passion, whether it is gardening or flower arranging. I love how the seasons change my palette. I love that flowers express emotions for us, & I love that they can make people so happy. I am enchanted with how life’s traditional celebrations throughout history have always been decorated with flowers. Thank you for stopping by our website, enjoy your visit!
Peace & love, Donna
