Our Story

While always fascinated with those gracious touches that made their home interiors special, two friends from Cincinnati, Ohio designed the Flower Bag in 2003 and BelleGarden was launched. Tamara More and Kristin Schneider were trying to find a way to display fresh flowers in a small powder room. Joking that they should just tack the blossoms to the wall, the idea of the Flower Bag was born. Soon their friends were requesting their own Flower Bags and BelleGarden was in business.

The Flower Bag was very popular and Kristin and Tamara were getting requests for a similar product that could be used with a live plant. Combining their talents, the creative women designed the patent pending Garden Bag that allows a healthy plant to grow within it while adding interest to the garden. Introduced at the Cincinnati Flower Show in 2004, the Garden Bag was an instant hit with its simple silhouette and brightly colored fabric.

In 2005, BelleGarden was awarded the Retailer's Choice Award at the Southern Nursery Association show in Atlanta, GA. Now in 2006, BelleGarden's expanding line of gardening containers is available in stores around the United States and Canada as well as online at www.bellegarden.com. Tamara and Kristin are continuing to develop new and original products for the home and garden.

BelleGarden is an innovative company based on inspiration and hard work. With a love of textiles, elegant clean lines and the unexpected, Kristin and Tamara are inspired by the latest trends in fashion and interior design. With a bit of whimsical surprise, BelleGarden's fresh approach to design adds a new layer to the garden, inside and out.
