Vicky cutting peonies to ready for silica drying
Vicky Hensley began growing and drying flowers more than 20 years ago while living in the Mid-Atlantic. Her perennial garden consists primarily of those flowers that dry especially well and are particularly long lasting. Vicky has professionally grown, dried, and sold her preserved arrangements and full flower potpourris since 1987 across the Midwest and southeastern United States.

Today Vicky enjoys growing and drying flowers at a slower pace while she continues to create unique dried flower designs and new potpourri mixes. Vicky speaks professionally on a variety of subjects related to the many aspects of dried flowers as well as perennial gardening, spiritual gardening, and landscaping with flowers.

Vicky has lived most of her life in Oklahoma and currently resides in Tulsa.  She may be contacted at 918-747-8435.
