Angie Gilles is the face behind The Freckled Bluebird which was formally established in 2023. Angie lives on an acreage in Iowa with her family -- a space surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature.
You'll likely find Angie busy in the garden or her art studio. Angie always has a variety of projects brewing but always with the same intent -- to create beauty from the ordinary.

As a novice grower, The Freckled Bluebird has kept things simple and sustainable. What started as a small patch of zinnias has grown into a 1/2-acre garden of native flowers, herbs, dahlias, and peonies.
The Freckled Bluebird sold fresh cut flowers for the first time in 2025 at the Waterloo Urban Farmers Market. Stay tuned for more ways to grab fresh cut flowers in 2026!

Beyond the garden, The Freckled Bluebird creates a variety of multimedia items including framed pressed flowers, watercolor prints, graphic art prints, and (on occasion) leather cuffs.
