Christy's Cottage: The Beginning
This Is Only the Beginning
Christy's Cottage opened in December 2023, founded and operated by Christy Oeth. As the sole owner and designer, Christy personally creates every arrangement with the same dedication, care, and attention to detail that defined her 24-year career as a registered nurse.
After decades of caring for others in healthcare, Christy followed her passion for flowers and design - channeling her compassion and creativity into a business that helps people express love, joy, sympathy, and gratitude through floral artistry. Her work is known for thoughtful composition and beauty, and the personalized service that goes above and beyond what you'll find in a traditional brick-and-mortar florist.
At Christy's Cottage, every design tells a story - crafted with heart, guided by experience, and delivered with genuine care.

Hello, My name is Christy Oeth and I am here to make your day beautiful!
I am a Varina native. I have tried to leave Richmond several times, but I just keep coming back for more. After all, there is no place like home! My husband and I moved back to Richmond in 2018 after we got married and eventually settled in Mechanicsville.
I started my love for floral arrangement during the pandemic when my husband and I planted nearly 80 roses in 2021. I would cut roses before my shift and take them into my nursing unit in small vases to have at the main reception desk. It would brighten the place up and put smiles on the faces of my coworkers. Since that time, I have learned a lot about growing roses and floral arrangement. Now, my passion is my new profession!
I served as a registered nurse for 24 years working in critical care, ER, recovery, home health, appeals, and outpatient clinics. I intend to continue providing excellent service to my clients. I have a keen eye for floral arrangements and a creative mind. I also have experience as a retail florist and have now branched out on my own. The best part of either career is knowing I put a smile on someone's face, so you can trust me to get your flowers perfect!
During the years I worked as a RN in ICU, I provided end-of-life care to many of my patients. It was a great honor to be with patients and their families in the last moments of their earthly life. Likewise, I am honored to provide sympathy arrangements for celebrations of life now.
In the best of times, and the worst of times, I am dedicated to providing excellent delivery of floral services and arrangements.
