109. Blooming in West Texas: The SkyGardens Story
Description
This week, I’m joined by the vibrant and faith-filled Skylar Richardson, founder of SkyGardens in West Texas. Raised on a cotton farm, Skyler’s journey took a turn from law school ambitions to flower farming—thanks to a canceled LSAT, a supportive family, and a deep sense of purpose rooted in faith and community.
In this episode, we dive into what it really takes to grow delicate blooms in the middle of dust, drought, and 30 mph winds. Skyler shares the miracle moments behind her flower farm’s beginnings, the challenges of farming in unpredictable conditions, and why inviting the community to experience the farm firsthand has been such a powerful part of her mission. If you’ve ever felt called to pivot your plans, lean into your faith, or just want to hear a story about beauty blooming where it “shouldn’t,” this one’s for you.
