Grow beauty. Create joy.
Sassy Sprigs started with one random flower in my yard.
I was burned out at the time, and this flower was growing without asking anything from me. So I got curious, and then I did what I always do when something interests me: I went completely overboard. One flower became a few plants, then beds, then hundreds of roses and thousands of tulip bulbs. Then came ranunculus, anemones, lisianthus, dahlias, and a lot of varieties nobody around me had ever heard of. I wanted to know if I could grow it in Middle Georgia, and then I wanted to know why it worked (or didn't).
I'm Felicia. I've spent more than a decade in procurement, so I'm the kind of person who wants to know how things work, what they cost, and whether there's a better way to do them. It turns out that's also a pretty good way to grow a flower farm.
From a roadside stand to Main Street
Eventually there were far more flowers than my family could use, so I set up a little roadside stand across from the courthouse. People came for flowers and plants, but they stayed with questions.
Why won't my tomato bloom? What can I plant now? How do I arrange these stems? Can you teach my kids this?
Those conversations shaped Sassy Sprigs as much as the flowers did. When the property under my stand sold, I could have called it done. Instead, I changed the model. In September 2026, we opened Sassy Sprigs Garden Studio at 112 Main Street, Suite E, in Byron. The farm still grows the flowers and plants. The Studio gives all that growing somewhere to meet people.
What a Garden Studio is
It's a place to:
-
Grow: Pick up locally grown seasonal flowers, specialty plants, bulbs, and garden goods you won't find at the big-box store.
-
Create: Join a small-group floral design workshop and leave with an arrangement that looks like yours, not twelve copies of mine.
-
Learn: Come for the "why," not just the "how." Our garden and plant workshops teach you what to plant, when, and how to care for it in our climate, so you can do it again at home.
-
Gather: Bring your kids to Saturday Sprouts, join a Sprig Scholars class, or book a private workshop for your group.
You don't need to be a gardener. You don't even need to be creative. Curiosity is enough. Every workshop is beginner-friendly, capped at 12 people so you get real, hands-on help, and everything you need is provided.
The honest part
We're new, and we're still building. Some things have taken off, like Mother's Day, vegetable plants, and back-to-school bouquets. Some workshops have filled more slowly than I hoped. I'm learning what this community loves in real time, and I'd rather show you that than pretend I've got it all figured out.
I'm also still doing this alongside my career and my family, with a lot of dirt, spreadsheets, and stubbornness underneath the pretty part.
Why I do this
I do it for curious people: the person who says, "I've always wanted to try that, but I don't know what I'm doing," the kid who wants to dig and see what's under the soil, and the gardener with thirty years of tomatoes who still has a question.
My hope is that curiosity is contagious. Grow the weird flower. Ask the question. Take the class even if you don't know what you're doing. Let your kid dig in the dirt.
Why "Sassy"?
"Sassy" is personality. "Sprigs" is what we grow.
I never wanted a flower-business name that sounded overly romantic, precious, or serious, because that's not really me. I can love an absurdly beautiful rose and still be standing there covered in dirt, wondering what the heck the plant thinks it's doing. Sassy Sprigs leaves room for both.
The sprigs are the stems, flowers, seedlings, herbs, foliage, and little pieces of a garden. The sassy is the curiosity, humor, and personality behind them. It gives us permission to be playful. Gardening can be beautiful without being stuffy, and learning doesn't have to feel intimidating.
It's also become a pretty good description of the business itself, because Sassy Sprigs has never stayed neatly in one box. It started with growing flowers. Those little sprigs turned into a farm, a roadside stand, plants, workshops, children's garden education, and now a Garden Studio on Main Street.
