The Callahan family has been in the flower business for over 5 decades! Known for The Potting Shed in 1970, Sharon & John Callahan “Sr” opened a flower shop on Falls Road. Their children, Kelly & John “Jr” were often seen in the shop, making potted arrangements, watering plants, & selling seasonal produce. John “Jr” went on to create his own landscaping company under The Potting Shed name. After years of building his landscaping company, In 2010, John began his next retail venture at 2210 Old Court Rd, Pikesville Md 21208. For years he had driven by the quaint red barn, just five minutes away from where the original Potting Shed once stood, but finally the time was right. Rebranding as Callahan Gardens, always unique, this special red barn would boost landscaping demand & establish a permanent footprint in the Green Spring community. They created eye-catching displays with brightly colored metal roosters, roadside mums, crates of pumpkins, & a Christmas tree lot offering hot chocolate from their very own food truck!

John and Christina’s youngest daughter, Riley Ann Callahan, was excited to learn the business of flowers. After gaining much landscaping expertise from her Dad, Riley Ann re-imagined the barn’s retail to operate as a showcase to the craftsmanship in selecting & displaying unique plants and artisanal goods. Over the years, Riley has honed the importance of curated aesthetics, functional work spaces and client relations.

With 3 generations of history, the Callahan Family is ready to embark on their next retail adventure! They are excited to travel full circle, back to Green Spring Station, with their boutique featuring fresh florals, garden pottery, botanical chocolates, Riley Ann’s greeting cards, & select collector’s plants. They will also offer their designing expertise in the form of Event Florals and Landscaping.
