The Flower Corner
A Bit of Earth's sister business for fresh-cut and dried flower arrangements, located inside the shop.
I grow these flowers myself. Some arrangements are available now, and the selection changes with the seasons. Click the robin below to explore The Flower Corner.
Why I Do This
I spent 18 years in the book world before I realized something. The best part was never the corporate guidelines or the cookie-cutter displays. It was the conversations.
The kid who found their first favorite book. The neighbor who needed just the right card.
That's why I opened A Bit of Earth. This shop is my love letter to Flint and everyone in it.
