LANDRUM—On Saturday mornings at the Landrum Farmers Market, shoppers can find locally grown flowers and other products from area vendors at the weekly market, which runs Saturdays through Dec. 12.
Among those vendors is Kyleigh Reznichenko, owner of Hampshire Bloomery in Moore, SC, who is spending her first year turning her longtime love of growing flowers into a business.
“I’ve been growing for years, but this is my very first year as a business,” Reznichenko said.
Although this is her first year operating Hampshire Bloomery, Reznichenko has spent years growing flowers and learning about plants. She said she has been around flowers throughout her life, but the idea of developing her hobby into a business came after spending a winter learning everything she could about flower growing.
“I devoted hours and hours and hours into buying every book, watching every video, buying classes on how to do all of this,” she said.
The idea of selling flowers developed naturally after neighbors saw her yard and began asking if they could purchase some of what she was growing. Reznichenko said sharing something she had grown herself quickly became rewarding.
“When you have the joy of sharing things like this with others, it becomes kind of addicting,” she said.
The response from customers has become one of the most meaningful parts of the business. Reznichenko said some customers have become emotional when receiving her flowers, while others have told her the flowers became part of a special memory.
“I’ve had people this year cry because of flowers,” she said.
Running a flower business has also taught Reznichenko that every variety requires different care. She spends about two hours a day watering her plants and learning their individual needs.
“They all have a different personality, so to speak,” she said. “Some want more or less fertilizer. Some want more or less water.”
Among her favorite flowers are zinnias and celosia. Reznichenko said her zinnias have continued producing flowers since May and require relatively little water or fertilizer. Celosia can also be dried and preserved as an everlasting flower.
Hampshire Bloomery has expanded beyond the farmers market, with Reznichenko also providing flowers for weddings and events.
Reznichenko said the Landrum Farmers Market has provided an excellent place to introduce Hampshire Bloomery to customers. She praised the market directors for their organization and support of vendors.
“I think it’s a fantastic market for anybody wanting to try this,” she said.
For Reznichenko, Hampshire Bloomery has let her turn years of growing flowers into something she can share with the community, one bouquet at a time.
