About Cheryl Gibson

Cheryl Gibson owns and operates Vine and Branch, a boutique flower farm in Durham, North Carolina, where she grows specialty cut flowers, selling them to local florists and wedding designers though Durham's Piedmont Wholesale Flower Co-operative and to the public through CSA subscriptions and special orders. She started this venture after the youngest of her three children left home to attend college, leaving her with more time for gardening. What began as a hobby, quickly turned into a passion for growing and nurturing flowers, which soon blossomed into a community-based business.
