NOTE: We first met Mary Schaefbauer at a Slow Flowers meet-up in St. Paul, Minnesota…
Mary Schaefbauer
Mary started her first floral business in 2016, at the age of 14. It wasn’t much then, but she kept building it through high school and a college program. Now at 19, with a fresh high school diploma and an AAS Degree in Business Management, she am working full time as a farmer-florist and loving it. Mary has always loved flowers, as well as design and color, and agriculture, and business… so this line of work is a perfect fit. She has been working in professional floral design for over four years and has trained with some of the best designers in Minnesota and across the U.S. Mary farms, designs, and lives in her family home during the growing season, and she freelances in other states during the winter months.
