Since I was a little girl, I knew there was something special between me and flowers—an unspoken connection that went far beyond just admiring their beauty. I didn’t just see flowers; I felt them. I spoke to them. I built a relationship with them. This connection wasn’t just in my imagination—it was in my soul.
I still vividly remember the first time I walked into a flower shop. I was just a kid, but that feeling of wonder and belonging wrapped around me like a warm hug. I knew, right then and there, that flowers would always be part of my life.
When I was 15 and a half, I begged to work at a flower shop. I didn’t care about money—I just wanted to be surrounded by blooms. At 19, with nothing but $500 and a heart full of passion, I started my own company. I never thought of it as a job. It wasn’t work to me; it was a hobby I loved—a life I chose.
Now, I look back on 30 years as a professional floral designer and 26 years as the owner of Magical Blooms, and I am still as in love with flowers as I was on that first day. I have touched over a million flowers, surrounded by countless blooms throughout my journey. I am grateful for every petal, every fragrance, and every moment I’ve spent creating beauty through floral design.
A Shaman with Flowers
People call me The Flower Doctor because I’m more than just a designer—I’m a flower shaman. For years, I kept my “Flower Prescriptions” private, sharing my floral healing with those who truly understood the power of nature’s energy. But as social media became a bigger part of my life—through Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok—I started sharing my story and my philosophy. That’s when people really started to take notice.
My designs aren’t just about birthdays, anniversaries, or apologies. They’re about universal love, healing, and the energy that flowers carry. I’m not just crafting arrangements; I’m channeling the energy of flowers to help people feel better, heal, and find peace. Whether it’s a bouquet for a loved one or a floral installation for a major event, every piece I create is infused with intention and care.
The Journey to Becoming The Flower Doctor
I’ve been on countless television shows, competed as a top floral designer on the West Coast, and been featured in numerous magazines. My dad always told me I’d write a book one day to share my journey, and now that dream is coming true. Being in the flower industry isn’t just a career for me—it’s a lifestyle and a purpose.
I’m not interested in competing anymore. I’ve been there, done that. Today, I focus on creating experiences—High Tea at the flower shop, Dinner Design Parties, and one-on-one flower therapy sessions. I’ve never wanted to be the best florist in the world—I just want to be the best version of myself, sharing my story and my passion with those who need a bit of floral magic in their lives.
The Heart of Magical Blooms
What makes Magical Blooms different? Our flowers aren’t pre-arranged days in advance. We design them fresh, minutes before sending them out. That’s how we maintain the vitality, energy, and spirit of each bloom. When you receive flowers from us, they aren’t just arrangements—they are thoughtfully crafted works of art, filled with life and intention.
People come to me because they trust me, not just to deliver beautiful flowers but to deliver an experience that resonates with their hearts. Whether it’s through a Flower Prescription, a DIY flower box, or a personal consultation, I aim to connect people with flowers in a way that uplifts and heals.
My Life in Bloom
Every day, I drive down the hill from my flower shop and feel a deep sense of gratitude. I absolutely love going to the farm, seeing the blooms grow, and knowing that they will soon become part of someone’s story. My son, Jack Barker, is my biggest inspiration and the light of my life. Being a mom while running a thriving floral business has been a balancing act, but it’s a journey I wouldn’t trade for anything.
I’ve learned that flowers aren’t just about aesthetics—they’re about emotion, energy, and connection. They have the power to heal, to comfort, and to bring joy. I’m honored to be part of that magic every single day.
If you’ve ever wanted to learn more about flower design, healing through flowers, or just want to hear my story, come visit Magical Blooms. Whether it’s for a one-on-one session, a flower class, or just a cup of tea, I’d love to meet you. Let’s share some floral magic together.
With love and petals,
Jenny Barker, The Flower Doctor
