Meet Janice

It’s a concept most of us are all familiar with: Balancing work, family, friends and that much-needed daily ‘photography fix’… like capturing the perfect sunset at the end of the day.

For Janice, mother-of-two wonderful boys, finding that sense of balance between home and work has resulted in a joyful and fulfilling life. She began her employment here at Resendiz Brothers in the spring of 2017 as a packing-house assistant where she learned all about the various flowers and foliage we grow up in the hills of Rainbow. Shortly thereafter, Janice transferred to the office where she now works full time. Her warm and friendly personality makes for a very welcoming environment and provides a special touch to our customer service.

“I try to keep my life as modest as possible,” Janice explains. Between waking up at 6:00am to get my sons Mason and Preston off to school, caring for two dogs and a cat, and working fulltime at the farm… it can be difficult to find a moment for myself. But life is perfect, as I love being a mom and spending my days surrounded by fun people and gorgeous flowers. I do a wide variety of tasks in the office like preparing labels and waybills, data input, maintaining records, answering phones and caring for our multitude of farm friends… dogs, chickens, goats and a cat. Everyday I learn something new about running a business, farming and the unique flowers we grow. I’m surrounded by so much beauty which makes it easy and enjoyable to be here every day. I haven’t had the pleasure to interact with all of our customers yet, but I look forwarding to doing so soon!”

Honoring Mom: Field Bouquets

This month we're honoring moms by featuring some very special bouquets... bouquets we think give new meaning to our flowers. These gorgeously colorful bouquets are created everyday right in the fields. Often hidden creations that tell a story of life in the fields and the seasonality of each harvest.

These amazing 'Field Bouquets' as we call them are not often seen, they're crafted quickly and... it's on to the next one. Usually, there's little time to appreciate their beauty. And so, as a tribute to moms we're sharing of some of our favorite field creations. We love the idea of sending a special message about life in the fields through our blooms.

Happy Mother's Day!

Artwork We Love: Flowers & Inspiring Words

Inspiration – to breathe life into.

Flowers and inspiring words can breathe life into anything and everything you do. Why are inspirational quotes so powerful? For one thing, they can express in words, what you feel in your heart. For another, sometimes it helps to know that you’re not alone, and others have been in the same boots. And, it seems that the 1960s activists who chanted “flower power” were onto something important, in more ways than they probably knew. Flowers, just like inspiring words, are good for our mental health.

So, when you combine beautiful floral imagery with motivational words and phrases that speak to you, it doubles your pleasure, making you stop and acknowledge them. Please enjoy these inspirational quotes and may they help you flourish in ways you never dreamed possible. I find them especially appealing this time of year as words of encouragement as we transition into the harvest season ahead. Which one is your favorite?
