about Maria Baldwin

Maria Baldwin and Kristina Crisologo create elegant, luxury floral designs rooted in the rich history of Wimbee Creek Farm. The land was once home to the Wimbee people, and has been cultivated for centuries. When Maria and her husband, Gary, first visited the property, they immediately fell in love with it. Since then, she has transformed the farm into a thriving source of beautiful, seasonal blooms for regional designers, wedding planners, and flower lovers throughout the Lowcountry. Her signature floral work is lush, artful, and deeply connected to the land, celebrating the beauty, history, and sense of place that defines Wimbee Creek Farm.
