When I met Christy, the owner of Buckets & Blooms in Rockton, Illinois, it was a real treat. She's a new business owner in the community, and her store is all about flowers, plants, and learning how to make your green friends thrive.


What's cool about Buckets & Blooms is that they don't just have ordinary plants. You can find special ones like Swiss Cheese Monstera, African Elephant Ear, and even a plant that looks like dolphins are swimming! It's like having a piece of the jungle in your home.


Christy's husband, Jake, also plays a big part in the store. He makes custom 3D-printed vases and pots, and they come in lots of different colors. It's like an art show for plant lovers.


For those who like to get their hands dirty, Buckets & Blooms offers classes every week. You can learn to make your own soap, candles, and bouquets. It's a fun way to get creative and try something new.


With the holidays coming up, Buckets & Blooms is the perfect place to find special gifts. Whether it's a pretty bouquet, a unique plant, or a nice-smelling candle, you'll find something great for your friends and family.


Supporting local businesses like Buckets & Blooms is not just good for our town, but it's also a way to discover cool places right around the corner.
