Dr. Clare Chambers, Owner & Founder
Full Moon Flowers is a specialty cut flower farm nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where I grow blooms with care and intention, bringing the beauty of nature to my community. Beyond flowers, the farm is also home to our nature-based summer camp, where children can explore, create, and develop a deep connection to the outdoors.
My journey to Full Moon Flowers started in the Appalachian Mountains of Ohio, where I grew up surrounded by rolling hills, winding creeks, and endless forests. My love for nature was shaped by childhood days spent exploring the woods, picking wildflowers, and feeling connected to the land. That deep-rooted appreciation for the outdoors has stayed with me throughout my life, guiding me both personally and professionally.
For over 13 years, I have worked as a nurse, earning my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and dedicating myself to caring for others. While I continue my work as a nurse, I am also fulfilling my dream of building a life where flowers, children, and nature come together. As a mother of two boys, I want them to grow up knowing the joy of wide-open spaces, the wonder of watching something grow, and the peace that comes from a life connected to the natural world. Full Moon Flowers is my way of sharing that experience with others—cultivating beauty, curiosity, and connection every step of the way.
Kim Jacaruso, Camp Director & Lead Educator
I’m thrilled to be leading Appalachian Adventure Kids Camp at Full Moon Flowers Farm! Originally from Massachusetts, I have spent five years working in private schools and therapeutic programs, supporting students from Kindergarten through 6th grade. I currently teach 3rd grade in Weaverville, NC and have been involved in a variety of summer camp programs, focusing on nature-inspired activities and social-emotional learning.
At camp, I strive to create an engaging and inspiring environment where children feel supported, curious, and adventurous. Together, we will build a positive and inclusive community, ensuring that every camper has a summer filled with exploration, creativity, and unforgettable memories.
Each week, campers will have opportunities for movement, collaboration, mindfulness, and creativity. With the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains as our backdrop, we’ll dive into games, art, literature, science, and more, making every day a new adventure!
