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 & seasonl 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.

Bowie, our livestock protection dog is our hero!

This farm is blessed with beautiful black loamy completely organic & alive soil!

Besides flowers we grow our food, and raise a Blackbelly Barbados sheep flock.

Grandaughter Anaiya started her love for flowers right from the begining.

I love the soft colors and open faces of these Ranunculus harvested earlier in the day.

Join us on this journey of growth and creativity as we celebrate the art of flowers together.

Donna Lovatto

farmer & designer

From a very young age I knew I needed to follow my heart to express my creativity. Thankfully, I found my passion connecting with nature.

Born & raised in Los Angeles, I always dreamed of living in the country, so in 1984 when my husband Danny I found our lovely 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. 

We grew dried flowers for our first couple of years, selling them as crafted designs locally and shipping bulk dried flowers to other florist around the country. Danny made a flower cart that we sold our flowers from every Friday in town.  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.

These days I am blessed to work from my studio right here on the farm. Today the grandchildren run wild through the meadows, while we raise our  crops.

I have been an avid plant collector my whole life, so this almost 41 year old garden is home to a huge collection of specialty cut flower varieties of perennials, shrubs & trees that I use for daily 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

flower cart

Our Flower Cart in downtown Garberville around 1988 was a bustling scene where we shared our weekly harvest with the community,  Our offering then was based heavily on dried flower crafts.

The soft pink Peony row is just begining to start its show! Floral design & gardening have continued to be my passion. I love all aspects of flowers, from garden to vase.
