FLOWER | PHOTO | DESIGN
-OPEN BY APPOINTMENT ONLY BEGINNING MAY 2024-
The Cosmo Cottage™ is a tiny flower farm and concept studio that merges the artistic expression from event professionals and mixed media artists for an unmatched experience in floral design
that begins at the roots.
This mother-daughter operation invites you to join us as “forever students” in the garden exploring new ways to incorporate flowers into your every day. Through eclectic, one-of-a-kind gifts, adventures in photography, creative seasonal workshops, and environmentally conscious floral design, our farm hopes to inspire the community and our followers to grow where they are and find peace and healing through your garden.

“Varis is an artistic enigma. One of a kind.”
WHAT THE COTTAGE MEANS TO US, OUR FAMILY, OUR COMMUNITY
Koa has grown up in flowers. My buddies and “adoped” kiddos have raised their babies as they sleep in boxes in the floral studio next to the water buckets. The Cosmo Cottage was built to be a wildlife refuge for humans.
We are wild creatures and need to return to digging, to exploring, to living in the moment. Living in wonder. Creating. Asking questions and finding the answers in the dirt.
We aren’t a “floral shop”. No instant results or pre-made pick-ups. I’m not a florist. I’m a builder because that is the foundation of peace. If you want flowers I want you to know what, why and for who. Same with photo sessions. When was the last time you or they felt good about their photos or flowers in their home?
The only people that don’t enjoy receiving flowers are those that haven’t had them made for their own hearts. I paint my friends in floral and photography but I will never just take their pictures and pick stems. I follow your life. And I hope that is the passion for this world that Koa lives with the rest of her days.

HOME GROWN
CUT FLOWERS from our tiny farm are paired with sourced ingredients for a non-traditional approach to floral design. Our farm offers seasonal arrangements, hand-tied bouquets, floral accents for photoshoots, and small event work by appointment only. We take pride in our close-to-home lil farm and welcome guests to experience the property in it’s fullest. We’ve enjoyed small dinner parties by the rose garden, rain soaked afternoons in the spring harvesting flowers, and cozy photo opportunities in our beautiful greenhouse. We grow seasonally and adore the time with our exquisite botanical selection. All of the best flowers are the flowers that we share.

ARTISTS FOR ARTISTS
ARTISTS FOR ARTISTS | The Cosmo Cottage unveils a collaboration that paints a picture of why our city is so incredibly unique - and the lengths that we will go to use our kindness and talents in great times of need. Joining local visionary, sculptor, and dear friend J. Young -this summer-The Cosmo Cottage was delighted to contribute to such a noteworthy movement of healing and adventure that took us all far away but still… so close to home. This shared love of the arts and community care put wind under sails for our newest project, BRING ME THAT HORIZON.
WE CAN’T WAIT TO HARVEST COSMOS WITH YOU! FLOWERS, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND DESIGN IN OUR NEW HOME - ROCKET CITY
“After seeing a flower arrangement done by V, I knew her unique style would make a perfect gift for my wife. I hadn’t bought flowers for her in a long time because everything seemed so streamlined and commercialized. That is not the case with what we received from V! The arrangement was one of a kind with a flare and style like none other. My wife loved it and told me never to order from anyone else! Not to mention, we got to support a family owned and operated business, always a plus!”
