About
WELCOME TO BLACKBURN GARDENS

My name is Laura, and I have loved dirt and the things that grow in it since childhood. Blackburn Gardens is the fulfillment of a life-long dream to grow beautiful things and share them with my community. I love meeting my neighbors as they stop by for a last-minute bundle of flowers for the dinner table or a fresh bouquet for their teacher on the first day of school.
Our little bit of land is just 3/4 of an acre on the edge of old-town Mount Vernon, but it is where the magic happens. Please visit my roadside flower cart—I can’t wait to meet you!
FLOWER FARMER HUSBAND

Mark, Laura’s husband, is a constant presence on the farm. He does photography, videography, web design, and grunt work. Mark loves the message the garden gives: its beauty testifies to God’s eternal power and divine nature. It also tells him daily of God’s order and design.
“The designer Dries van Noten … confessed that his famous garden outside of Antwerp, Belgium, humbles him. In fashion, he says, ‘you try to control everything; but in the garden, you have to obey nature.’” (NYTimes)
