About the overflow FArm People
I am Elizabeth Walters. Thank you for visiting the Overflow Farm website. Like many flower lovers and flower farmers, I have been drawn to them since I was a little kid. I remember picking peonies from my parents' gardens in upstate New York and finding trillium and lady's slippers in the woods with my mom. The farmhouse at my grandparents' had a bed of lily of the valley the fragrance of which is still embedded in my nose.
When I was about 4 or 5, I wanted to pick my mom's daffodils, but she thought it would be better for me to pick dandelions instead. I was so pleased with my bouquet, I asked her to take a picture of me (an unusual event) with my bouquet.
I pursued gardening alongside running a glass blowing business and while raising four children. Our garden flourished with bountiful produce - enough for our family and for sharing - hence the name Overflow Farm.
After moving to Montana in 2020, my desire to cultivate a wider range of flowers led me to enroll in the Floret Online Workshop. In the summer of 2021, after experiencing the thrill of harvesting an entire bucket filled with one type of flower, I transformed "Overflow Farm" into a small flower farm.

From planning and brainstorming to constructing garden sheds and building hoop houses, he plays a crucial role in our farming projects while working a full-time job outside the home.
