Welcome to the Briar

Meet Laura

I’m a mother, a dreamer, a grower of things both wild and intentional. Rooted in the heart of Woodbridge, CT, I’ve created The Briar at 80 as a space where beauty, nature, and community meet.

I believe in slowing down, getting your hands in the dirt, and celebrating the simple joy of a bloom. What started as a love for flowers has grown into a small, intentional farm where others can gather, create, and reconnect with the land.

Whether I’m planting seeds with my kids, arranging bouquets from the wildflower field, or hosting an evening of art and wine, I’m always cultivating something—something real, something meaningful, something that blooms.
