Friday, March 11th, 2022 1:40-2:40 pm
Artemis Flower Farm (formerly Farmette Flowers) is owned and operated by Helen Skiba, a Colorado native, former English major, and returned Peace Corps Volunteer. She is a dedicated grower and tender of soil, and brings a background in soil science and poetry to her field work, as well as a passion for intricate color and texture in her designs. Helen developed her design style in Lyons, Colorado, and at Floret in Washington State. She holds a Master’s of Agriculture from Colorado State University, where she completed her thesis in combination with her Peace Corps service in an indigenous community in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Helen currently farms as part of the Treehouse Farm Collective, just north of Boulder, where three different farm operations share land, rent, utilities, and responsibilities so they can afford to farm.
