Hello

I’m Crista

— the heart behind GiGi’s Greenhouse

My hair might be in a messy bun a little more these days, but that’s usually a pretty good sign that I’m somewhere behind the scenes making something happen.

My Story

For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved bringing people together. From nearly a decade of coordinating weddings, to hosting showers, birthdays, and celebrations right here on our property, to building a career creating experiences for some of the country’s largest sporting events — gathering, designing, and celebrating have always been a part of who I am.

But somewhere along the way, my why changed.

As our family grew, so did my desire to be home. To be present for our daughters, Sofia and Gianna. To spend fewer weekends away and more of them watching our girls grow up together — while still doing something I genuinely love.

And that’s where the idea for GiGi’s Greenhouse began.

Named after our youngest daughter, Gianna — our “GiGi” and the sweetest surprise who completed our family of four — this greenhouse feels like all the pieces of my life coming together.

We wanted to create something special right here on our family property. A place to grow food throughout the seasons, celebrate our daughters' birthdays, gather around the table, and make memories together. A little sanctuary surrounded by nature that our family could enjoy for years to come.

GiGi’s may carry one daughter’s nickname, but this dream belongs to our whole family. My hope is that someday our girls look back and know that this was built with them in mind — a place where their childhood memories were made, and a dream that allowed their mom to continue doing what she loves while being there for them.

And now, during select months of the year, we get to share a little piece of our home with you.

Whether you're celebrating a new baby, another trip around the sun, gathering your favorite people around a table, or capturing a special moment, I hope GiGi's becomes the backdrop for some of your sweetest memories.

For love. For family. For more time.
And for all the beautiful reasons we gather. 🤍
