Greer-based Lauren Voss spent seven years decorating her own porch before she became the leading “pumpkin concierge” in Greenville this year. “I saw the joy that my three children experienced picking out pumpkins and arranging them. That was the impetus to start the business, to create memories for people that are lasting.”
For those with busy schedules, limited creativity, or who might view it as just another chore, Voss’s Stone and Seed Co. offers an effortless way to create warm and welcoming visuals for homes, offices, storefronts, and special events. Voss works from a photo or a site visit, and a client does not have to be home for the installation.
Sourced from the Southeast, Voss selects around 20 varieties of pumpkins and gourds including heirlooms, blue dolls, fairytales, daybreaks, orange bulldogs, white ghosts, and polar bears, which arrive at her warehouse in a temperature-controlled semitruck.
She’ll take on 30 to 40 clients this season, with prices ranging from $325 to $1,200. When the fall season ends, she will even circle back to collect the pumpkins, sustainably recycling them by delivering them to local farms such as Lukens Land & Cattle and Shipshape Farms, where they provide nourishing feed for animals.
