Meet the Grower

Hi, I’m Shayla, the heart behind Snook’s Blooms.

I’m creative, sentimental, and a little quiet until I warm up. I love iced coffee, home-cooked meals, staying in with a good book, Pilates, and spending time with my family (and our dog, Nala). Before flowers, I was an elementary school teacher, then found my way into the world of IT, where I still work part-time today.

Motherhood reshaped how I define success. To me, success isn’t measured by money or scale, but by being happy, healthy, and content with what we have. I want to be rich in love, present for every small moment, and close to home as I raise my babies. Creating something I love, while staying rooted in my family, means everything to me.

Flowers have taught me so much: to slow down, plan thoughtfully, experiment without fear, and let go of perfection. They pulled me out of a dark season and continue to bring joy, growth, learning, and yes, some sweat and frustration too. My favorite part of growing is the process itself, learning what works in my garden, even when it’s different from someone just down the road. It’s all trial and error, and that’s where the beauty is.

If you’re reading this, I’m truly glad you’re here. Even if we never meet, I hope you feel a sense of connection. Life is short and full of wonderful moments, and if anything, I hope this space reminds you to enjoy them, to try something new, do what you love, draw closer to God, and give yourself permission to slow down and savor the beauty around you.
