This North Georgia Flower Farm Is Cultivating Blooms And Supporting A Meaningful Cause

For Collin Lines planting flowers is about more than just pretty bouquets. It’s her way of joining the fight against breast cancer. While she’s always had a love for fresh blooms, it wasn’t until 2016 that she had the idea to open Zinnia Happiness Farms, a small you-pick spot in Tiger, Georgia, where all the proceeds go toward breast cancer research.
How It Started«I was clipping zinnias in the garden one day and started thinking about my friend Andrea who had passed away from breast cancer and how much she would love to be here cutting flowers with me,» says Lines, whose grandmother, mother, and sister also battled the disease. «As I was standing out there, it was hot, the bugs were out, and I was thinking, 'Poor me.' All of a sudden, remembering these four women and what they went through, I realized I had nothing to complain about. I decided thatI would plant more zinnias and start a farm.»

«You can't help but smile when you see a basket of all those colors. It just makes you happy. Zinnias are my way of bringing happiness and beauty into the world.»

But that amount has grown since then. With strong local support and the help of donors to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, who matched and increased contributions from Zinnia Happiness Farms, $30,000 was raised in 2022 alone. «That’s not bad for a little, tiny flower farm when every dollar counts,» says Lines. «It’s a win-win situation for everyone. People get to take home beautiful flowers and donate toward a cure.»
