Hey friends,

I’m putting this together to surprise my boyfriend, Mac, who’s starting a small flower and herb business — something he’s dreamed about for a long time. His goal is simple but beautiful: to spread joy, connect people, and bring a little more color into our community.

If you know Mac, you know how hard he works and how big his heart is. He’ll spend hours outside, planting and creating, and somehow always finds a way to make people smile — whether it’s giving someone a handful of fresh flowers “just because,” or sharing herbs from his garden to help them start their own.

This business isn’t about getting rich. It’s about building something real — local flowers, herbs, and pop-ups that make people feel good, bring neighbors together, and remind us to slow down and appreciate the simple stuff.

I want to help him get started — with things like:

basic supplies for arrangements and pop-up stands

seeds, soil, and sustainable growing materials

small signs, vases, and tools to help him get off the ground

Every little bit helps. Whether it’s $5 or just sharing this, it all adds up to something special — and it would mean the world to both of us.

Mac doesn’t know I’m doing this (yet ), but I can’t think of anyone more deserving. He gives so much of himself to everyone else, and I’d love to see his dream bloom the way he’s helped others grow.

Thanks for helping me make it happen
