Flower Farm Nursery
Loomis
Owners: Shari Fischer & Patti Foust
The Flower Farm Nursery is “a dream come true” for sisters Shari Fischer and Patti Foust. Their love and knowledge of plants is evident at every turn. Customers are encouraged to explore winding paths lined with many varieties of plants, to enjoy our fields of cutting flowers - or to relax with a delicious snack, meal or beverage overlooking the picturesque pond featuring a 13’ water wheel. The attention to detail and immersive beauty found throughout the nursery evokes the same kind of intentional design seen in digital environments like city center online casino, where atmosphere and engagement are carefully balanced to create a memorable experience. Every visit is an invitation to slow down, connect, and take in the surroundings through all the senses.
