Deanna

I was born and raised in Webster, New York. My dream of owning a flower shop began in my youth. I have always loved flowers & plants – pretty things! My experience working at Bauman’s Farm Market & Greenhouse really sparked my passion for floral design. I attended VCU and became a teacher for ten years. I was given the opportunity to buy Strawberry Fields from the previous owners, who I had actually worked for during the summer and have been proud owner since 2005. Having my shop, Strawberry Fields Flowers & Finds, has given me the opportunity to infuse my passion for floral design into the Richmond community & make my dreams come true.

Brenna

I adore plant life; cacti, succulents, ferns, moss, trees and especially flowers! I graduated from VCU with the intention of becoming a Visual Artist or Urban Designer and stumbled upon Floral Design. Being a florist is the most spectacular job in the world! I love working with life in such a creative way. In my spare time, I enjoy the great outdoors, gardening, music and photography.

Erin

Originally from Georgia, I made my way to Richmond in 2020. After exploring several different industries, I found flowers and I love it!

When I am not designing at the shop, I like to travel to live music shows, hang out with furry friends, and explore all the amazing things to do in city of Richmond.

Mary

As a Richmond native, I grew up with a passion for creativity and curiosity. When I started the horticultural degree program in 2022 at J. Sargeant Reynolds, I was immediately drawn to floral design. My previous experience as a wedding coordinator put me in touch with beautiful arrangements and florists every weekend. My interest was piqued, but I wanted to learn more. When I met the team at Strawberry Fields, I immediately felt at home. I knew this business was the perfect place to serve my city and put my passion for plants and flowers to work.

Robin

Originally a West Coast native, I moved to Richmond in 2020 and have been lucky to call Strawberry Fields my flower home ever since! I began my floral journey in Portland, OR, where I earned a certification in Floral Design at the Floral Design Institute in 2017. After a few years of working with flowers, both in a retail setting and as a freelance event designer, I found my way to my lovely flower (and plant!) family at Strawberry Fields. I love nerding out about rose varieties, color theory, and anything design related with customers and my fellow designers. When I’m not at the shop, I can usually be found tending to my garden, hanging with my cats, or throwing mugs, bowls, and tealight holders at the pottery studio. Come say hi and shop my handmade ceramics at Strawberry Fields!

Georgie Girl

Georgie Girl is an adorable cockapoo, who has been a part of the Strawberry Fields Family since 2019. She was rescued by the Abandoned Angels Cocker Spaniel Rescue from a shelter in Brooklyn, NY. After her rescue, Georgie Girl spent 8 months with her amazing foster mother in Philadelphia before finding her way to Deanna. She is such a blessing!!!

Strawberry Fields is Dog Friendly! Please bring your pup in with you for a visit- we have treats too!

Marigold/Goldie

After our sweet boy Marvin passed away from cancer in August of 2020, I reached out to Linda at Plain & Fancy rescue to let her know the sad news. We got Marvin from Linda 13 years ago. I knew that we would be blessed with another pup when it was time. I never imagined it would be another dog from Linda. Marigold is our second rescue from Plain & Fancy in Ohio. Marigold came to us at the beginning of February 2021, and the rest is history. Goldie is a miniature poodle mix and is pretty much fully grown at this point. She is a gift from God and such a wonderful addition to our family!
