Meet Leah.
Leah Rodgers is the dreamer behind Indigo Gardens and its many past lives. Together with a small team, she tends a beautiful, gently sloped piece of land above Scappoose, Oregon. Her years of growing and tending the earth spans from master orchard and veggie farmer for McMenamins Edgefield, to large CSA offerings grown in urban Portland, to acres of earth-conscious cut flowers. Now, she harnesses the powers of perennial plants, woodies, trees, and annual crops.
Leah’s Favorite flowers: Digitalis, Campanula, Phlox, Artemisia.
Indigo Gardens delights in seasonal treasures and offers high-quality products grown with intention. Our flowers are produced using ecological methods, making them friendly to pollinators and people. With these earth-forward and low-till methods, we grow a wide selection of annuals, perennials, and foliages, and we pride ourselves in growing colors and varieties that inspire and invoke joy and awe. At Indigo Gardens, you’ll find woodland treasures, drought-resistant chaparral shrubs, romantic garden roses, dahlias in all the right shapes and colors, textural grasses, annuals ranging from the sturdy to the fine and delicate, a manzanita and olive grove, and so much more!
Meet Ellio.
Ellio is the farm manager and Rose Prince at Indigo Gardens. Ellio started growing flowers on a very micro level, by turning their garden and several neighbor’s yards into micro flower farms to provide wholesale cuts for florists and for their own wedding designs. Hence their business name Small Yard Flowers. Ellio and Leah found each other and quickly joined forces. After years of farming together yet separate, Indigo Gardens has fully absorbed Ellio and their 500 rose bushes.
Ellio’s Favorite Flowers: Roses, Digitalis, roadside Daisies, Tulips.
You can get your hands on our flowers by ordering DIY flower and foliage buckets, and if you are a florist, you can buy our wholesale blooms at the OFGA in the Portland Flower Market. To get more info on our wholesale offerings, visit our wholesale page.
