About the Book
“The Bloom That Built Me” is a tender, grounded collection of reflections
on growing through the everyday seasons of motherhood, identity, creativity, and womanhood.
It’s not a story of heartbreak— it’s a story of becoming.
These pages hold the lessons, rhythms, and quiet transformations
that shaped a woman learning to root deeply and bloom confidently.
The Bloom That Built Me
Faith, Family, and the Flowers That Grew a Dream
A story grown in the soil of hope—where small beginnings become beautiful things.
About the Book
This book began in the quiet rows of an old pumpkin patch—long before a dream became a flower farm. It’s a story about the timid first seeds we plant, the storms that try to undo us, and the holy, ordinary moments that become our becoming.
The Bloom That Built Me invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and step into a journey rooted in faith, family, and the tender courage it takes to begin—especially when beginnings feel small.

About the Author
Where a farmer’s hands, a mother’s heart, and a storyteller’s voice come beautifully together.
Erica Wendland is the heart behind Wendland Family Farm—a small-town flower farm rooted in faith, family, and the quiet power of small beginnings.
From a tiny pumpkin patch to rows of blooms, workshops, markets, and a community of women who gather to grow both flowers and courage, Erica has built a place where beauty is both grown and given away.
She lives and farms in West Point, Iowa, alongside her husband and their two children—Oliver and Harper—where faith and flowers shape the rhythm of their life and work.
“May your hands always find the dirt, your heart always find the light, and your dreams always find their season.”
However you read, let this story plant something hopeful in you.
