Fresh Local Flowers

       

 

 

In 2017, Windflower was thrilled to bring Gia Matzinger on as our farmer/florist. Gia comes to Central Oregon with a strong passion for reviving local agriculture. She has grown food and flowers throughout the Pacific Northwest for seven years, completing the Ecological Horticulture program at UC Santa Cruz Center for Agriculture and Sustainable Food Systems and going on to co-own and manage a vegetable and flower operation on California's central coast. As a lifelong artist and nature enthusiast, Gia became enamored with flower design as a medium and began arranging for special events with a devotion for sourcing flowers locally. All of these attributes make Gia a perfect fit for Windflower. Her joyful approach, unique grower’s perspective, and adoration for natural forms inspire her contemporary, textural designs that range from elegant/classic to garden/wild. Gia can create truly dynamic bouquets for all occasions.

 

“Gigi~ Your farm, in all its aspects, was enchanting. I was impressed with how organized and neat everything looks. I can only imagine how much work it takes to keep the plants, horses and livestock happy and keep the place looking nice too. Your employees seem to like working there too!....The flowers were incredibly gorgeous, varied, and just the right colors. My sisters and their “kids” had great fun arranging them on my shaded terrace. A light blue delphinium in my wrist corsage matched my dress, and all the other colors matched my grandkids outfits….They added so much to the visual experience— with vases everywhere— including serving tables. I’m so glad you were able to help us so magnificently at the last moment." - Martha C. Lussenhop

"Gigi - Thank you for the beautiful flowers for my wedding! I was truly speechless when I saw my bouquet, it was everything I envisioned plus so much more! The flowers were a true reflection of us as a couple and we were so happy!" - Dayna Swanson
