Kindred & Gather began with two dreams that naturally came together.

We’re Nichole and Kathy, a mother-and-daughter team brought together by a shared love of creativity, connection, and community.

When my mom, Kathy, retired after a career in EMS, she knew one thing for certain: she wasn’t ready to slow down. After years of caring for others in some of life’s most meaningful moments, she was looking for a new way to connect with people and create something beautiful.

At the same time, I’d been feeling the pull to build something beyond my 9-to-5. I wanted a creative outlet, a business that brought people together, and something we could be proud to build as a family.

What started as conversations around the kitchen table quickly grew into a shared vision. We fell in love with the idea of flower bars because they aren’t just about flowers. They’re about celebrating life’s special moments, slowing down, creating with your hands, and gathering with the people you love.

Today, Kindred & Gather is more than a flower bar. It’s a family-owned business built on creativity, connection, and community. We believe the best memories are made when people gather together, create something beautiful, and leave with a little more joy than they arrived with.

While flower bars are where our story begins, they aren’t where it ends. We have big dreams for Kindred & Gather and can’t wait to continue growing into new creative experiences, workshops, and handcrafted offerings that bring people together. This is just the beginning.

What began as a dream rooted in creativity and connection has blossomed into something we’re incredibly proud to share. Every flower bar and workshop is thoughtfully designed to bring people together, spark creativity, and create meaningful memories through flowers. It’s more than creating beautiful bouquets. It’s about creating experiences that leave people feeling connected, inspired, and celebrated.
