Manager
Kali Rabaut is Florida grown entrepreneur, artist and teacher. Besides flowers, she’s also been growing babies and the composting movement in Tampa Bay as the founder of Suncoast Compost.
Blue House Florals uses 100% locally grown flowers. Frustrated with the narrow definition of cut flowers, Kali encourages her customers to ponder what is beautiful and what is valued. She grows traditional favorites, and incorporates native and Florida-friendly.
Kali always thought it would be a dream to be a farmer-florist someday when she retires. While 2020 was tough for everyone, Kali’s younger brother passed away, a sobering reminder that we can’t always count on tomorrow. But like the flowers remind her daily, it’s the ephemeral nature of life that makes it so beautiful.
