This month we are welcoming our newest vendor, Catoctin Plant House. Catoctin Plant House is a woman-owned, family-rooted botanical business growing from the family farm in Thurmont, Maryland offering seasonal plants, flowers, terrariums, wreaths and handcrafted botanical creations using locally grown and thoughtfully sourced materials. Owner Kristen Myers also offers hands-on workshops with local businesses to bring creative botanical experiences to the community.
At the market this fall, Kristen will be featuring handcrafted dried floral wreaths made with locally grown and sourced materials from the Catoctin Mountain area. Each wreath is uniquely designed by hand and inspired by the natural beauty of our local landscape.
Speaking with us a few weeks ago, Kristen said, “Spending a few years living in the city and now being back in this area has given me a profound appreciation for just how special and beautiful the place I grew up is. The natural beauty of the Catoctin Mountain area inspires me to grow, create and thoughtfully source from the landscape around me. I’ve been gardening, growing and crafting with botanicals for many years, guided by the wonderful floral mentor I’ve always had in my mother.
Frederick is special to me because of its strong sense of community and appreciation for local businesses, makers and agriculture. Growing up on my family’s farm nearby, I’ve always valued the connection between local businesses and the people who support them. I love the Frederick City Market because it brings that community together and gives small businesses like mine a chance to share what we create, meet new people and build genuine connections.”
You can find Kristen at the market every weekend for the rest of the season so be sure to stop by on Sundays at 622 N Market Street from 9 am - 1 pm to welcome her and check out her beautiful botanical creations!
