Why work with Urban Buds?  

Urban Buds was founded in 2012 by Mimo Davis and Miranda Duschack.  We are a boot-strap, micro urban cut flower farm in the middle of St Louis city.  Our one-acre commercial farm and greenhouses produce abundant blooms whose sales finance the farm and support staff. Our passion lies at the intersection of flower farming, community building, and education. Mimo and Miranda are long-time educators who remain committed to helping other growers succeed.
