about many graces
Many Graces is a boutique cut-flower farm and floral design studio specializing in immersive floral experiences that are grounded in seasonality and sustainability. Our designs are sculptural, textural, and always questing after that perfect blend of romanticism and modernism.
Established in 2018, Many Graces was born out of a love for poetry. Rebecca, our Founder & Creative Director, studied and taught English literature for 10 years before launching Many Graces in 2018. For her, flowers are simply another form of poetry—a poetry of the Earth— and as such, they have the power to impart a deep sense of romance, story, artistry, and magic to whatever space they find themselves in.
Rebecca had always been drawn to flowers, but her love for them was solidified after experiencing the power of their medicine and beauty while caring for her beloved friend Ruth who was diagnosed with cancer in the winter of 2013. Rebecca was Ruth’s primary caregiver during her last year-and-a-half of life, and one of the central ways they nurtured and took care of each other was through a daily ritual of surprising each other with flowers. The home that they shared had what they dubbed a small “secret garden” that was filled with stunning perennial and biennial flowers. Every day or so they would head back there to make little bouquets that they would lovingly place on each other’s bedside table. After Ruth passed away in February of 2015, Rebecca continued to be drawn to flowers. What she didn’t realize at the time was that her draw to flowers was the way she was staying close to Ruth and the ritual they began together.
Now in our eighth season in 2025, our farm and design studio is situated in a 5-acre, certified-organic field where we have a 1/2 acre of perennial crops, and where we will grow our spring greenhouse crops, our summer annuals, and our near ten thousand dahlias. Lovingly named “the lower meadow,” this field is situated at the bottom of a wooded hill, surrounded by the forests abutting the beautiful Connecticut River. We are dedicated to low-till farming and crop rotation, giving the earth much-needed time to rest. We rent the field where we grow, which is located on unceded Nipmuc and Pocumtuc land.
We are so grateful for the cosmic inspiration of Ruth and Rebecca’s love for each other that has been funneled into this creative passion project from which so much beauty, joy, and connection has arisen. Thank you for your support of our farm & design studio; we look forward to sharing our flowers with you for many years to come.
