Our Team
We bring different perspectives to the table, but we’re united by a love for purposeful work, thoughtful design, and real connection.
Matt is the heart behind the garden at MacDonalds Backyard Blooms. A veteran, husband, father, and lifelong builder, he believes the best things in life are grown with patience, hard work, and a little dirt under your fingernails.
Whether he's building raised beds, tending the garden, harvesting vegetables, or dreaming up the next project, Matt is happiest outdoors. His passion for growing food has helped turn a simple backyard garden into a place where fresh ingredients become homemade preserves, pickles, herbs, and seasonal produce.
For Matt, gardening is about more than growing food—it's about creating memories, teaching the value of hard work, and sharing the harvest with others. Every season brings a new opportunity to learn, grow, and give back to the community.
When he's not in the garden, you'll likely find him tackling a DIY project, spending time with family, or planning what's next for MacDonalds Backyard Blooms.

Crystal is the creative heart behind MacDonalds Backyard Blooms. She loves turning the season's harvest into homemade preserves, creating new recipes, and sharing the joy of homegrown food with others.
What began as a backyard garden quickly became a family passion. From cooking small batches in the kitchen to designing labels, managing the business, and connecting with customers, Crystal enjoys every part of bringing the family's vision to life.
She believes food has a way of bringing people together, and every jar is made with the same care and attention she'd give to her own family. Whether the ingredients come from their garden or local farmers they proudly support, quality and community are always at the heart of what she creates.
For Crystal, MacDonalds Backyard Blooms is about more than preserves—it's about slowing down, celebrating the seasons, and sharing a little piece of home with every customer.

Whether she's taste-testing a new recipe, harvesting vegetables, or greeting customers at a market, Azalea reminds us that the best memories are made when families work together.
For her, MacDonalds Backyard Blooms is about growing, learning, and sharing a little kindness—one harvest at a time.
