Longtime local downsizes and uses the light space for a budding floral business. by Allison Arthur photos by Ashley Merritt
almost 20 years, Bobbi Reyes lived in a large family home in East Jackson. The kitchen at her former residence was decorated with dark green tile and had only one small window. After her two kids grew up and left Wyoming, she realized how much upkeep the home was and decided to downsize. The Pine Drive home she bought two years ago offers many things her old space did not: an open, light and airy
kitchen and a new, modern space that takes a lot of maintenance off her plate. The townhouse does have one downside — there is no room for an outdoor garden, which she cultivated for many years when she had a big yard. “This home doesn’t have room for a garden, so I bring nature into the home,” she says. Since moving in, Reyes, 50, has developed a growing enthusiasm for a flower business she is calling Freebird
