Why choose Gilbert Creek Gardens?
I am an American cut flower and herb farmer/florist. Did you know I am the only grower and seller on Etsy! Others may source flowers and herbs but everything is grown here in Burkburnett, Texas on the cut flower farm. I grow on almost an acre, and use traditional growing methods with no herbicides or pesticides.
I care about protecting the environment and am committed to conducting my business in harmony with nature. As a female farmer, with a family, I have chosen to use sustainable growing practices on our farm and strive to leave a lasting positive impact on the planet. Another way we are building a sustainable farm is by planting flowers that will not be picked but instead are entirely for the pollinators in our area.
