Mountain Chick Floral: Wenatchee's Blooming Gem
In the blossoming downtown, Mountain Chick Floral stands as a vibrant oasis of passion for plants and flowers. Michelle Signett, the visionary owner, has turned her years of experience in the plant and floral industry into a flourishing business that showcases her unique style. Having initially retired, Michelle found herself yearning for a new adventure and decided to break out of retirement to open Mountain Chick Floral, a place that is entirely hers.
Sourcing plants from a trusted greenhouse in Snohomish and growing flowers on her own farm, Michelle prioritizes local sourcing whenever possible. This commitment to quality and sustainability is evident in every corner of her shop. From the elegant wedding arrangements to the cheerful party florals, Mountain Chick Floral caters to every occasion. Customers can even create their own "You-pick bouquets," selecting from a stunning array of flowers. Michelle also offers a thoughtful potting service, potting any purchased plant and planter for free.
One of Michelle’s favorite aspects of being located downtown is the lively atmosphere, especially the parade of dogs headed to the nearby pet shop. The hustle and bustle of downtown calling to her every day. Despite the occasional challenge posed by the old building, Michelle remains undeterred. Her love for the community and the joy she finds in her work shine through in every interaction. She takes the time to match the right plant to each customer’s lifestyle, asking about their time, light availability, and plant care experience to ensure the best fit. Whether it’s a hardy Pothos or the resilient "ZZ" plant for beginners, Michelle’s advice is always practical and encouraging.
Michelle’s favorite plants of the moment, the Flame Violet and the Shooting Star Hoya will undoubtedly capture your attention. For those looking to start their plant journey, her biggest piece of advice is simple: "Start easy. Choose a plant that’s hard to kill until you get used to taking care of them." With Michelle’s expertise and the welcoming ambiance of Mountain Chick Floral, even the most hesitant green thumbs are sure to flourish.

The event promises to be a delightful evening with Watercore Cider, permanent jewelry, flower essence readings, and Inner Grove Tea. Whether you’re just starting on your plant-filled journey or a seasoned professional, Mountain Chick Floral has what you need to keep your life flourishing with color!
