Latest on the Farm

The holiday season is upon us and there’s been a flurry of activity at the farm. We’ve had some fun wreath workshops attended by so many wonderful people and we have loved sharing the joy of learning with our new friends.

Although winter weather is slowly creeping in, I’m thankful for the recent milder temperatures offering extra time to finish fall tasks (without frostbite :)). There’s often a mistaken impression that with the arrival of cold weather there’s little activity on the farm. Oftentimes, it feels like there are more to do than during in season. There are bulbs and cool season flower seedlings to plant, there’s digging up, cleaning, and storing of dahlia tubers, and there’s the continuous sowing of more flower seeds for planting out in February/March (think lisianthus). All this preparation for spring flowers helps make winter more tolerable as we daydream about the beauties that will be coming soon.

What have been on your garden to-do list so far?

Fun fact, if you haven’t cleaned up your garden/landscape area of dead plants and fallen leaves, that’s good because they provide shelter and food for our beneficial insects. You’re not procrastinating, you’re being green!

Spring is Almost Here (I know, I know, Winter hasn’t Officially Started, Yet)!!

Spring Flower Bouquet Subscriptions - Great Gifts for You and Your Flower Lovers!

Tulips, fragrant hyacinths, fancy double daffodils, fluffy ranunculus, gorgeous anemones, ethereal poppies, and on and on … all these beauties are tucked away in the ground getting ready to burst into our hearts and homes early spring!

New to bouquet subscriptions? 

By purchasing subscriptions, you are reserving some of these beauties for yourself or loved ones! In the spring, when your subscription starts, we will harvest these beauties and arrange them into a big, gorgeously wrapped bouquet. All you need to do is pick up at your designated location and put them in a vase. Imagine having farm-fresh flowers throughout spring!

Our subscriptions are available now because they make lovely gifts for the holidays (or for yourself), especially for those who have everything or just don’t know what they want.

You will receive one bouquet per month from March to May. If you want more than one bouquet per month, we can work with you to create a custom schedule.

If you are purchasing as a gift, we will send you a special gift certificate which you can print out and give to your recipient.

Planning Ahead to Upcoming Workshops

We are working towards finalizing our flower filled workshops for the winter and spring and we thought it would be fun to give you a sneak peek at what’s coming up.

You can schedule any of our workshops as a private event, so even though the dates are not finalized, if you can gather together a bunch of friends and family (minimum of 5 people), you can choose the date and time that works best for your group - just keep in mind the months/time of year these workshops are available.

You will receive our email notifications when our dates are finalized on our workshops. Also, you can keep up-to-date by following our Instagram or Facebook accounts.

Dried Flower Wreath Workshop

I’ve been drying flowers all summer and squirreling them away because I knew come winter we would want a taste of summer’s delight.

Are you ready to learn how to make magic with these beauties? When the festivities of the holidays are over and what’s left are the dark, cold days of winter, come chase away the dreariness with the promise of summer to come.

Flower Crown Workshops

Is it May Day when people celebrate the coming spring and wear flower crowns and decorate flag poles with ribbons?

Who cares!

Here’s a chance for you to learn how to make beautiful flower crowns and celebrate and welcome spring . . . any day!

These workshops are especially nice and memorable if you have a child/grandchild to pair with and we will be scheduling special dates for you to register with your child.

What better way to learn something fun together and create cherish-able memories.

Dates for the workshops are not set yet but will be held in May.

Spring Centerpiece Making Workshop

From luscious peonies to fragrant roses and sweet peas, there’s very little that compares with the beauty and magic of spring flowers.

And, you can learn how to create your beautiful centerpiece bursting with these and other spring flowers growing at the farm.

You will learn the basics of form and color, choose from a vast selection of spring flowers harvested at their peak, and have the option of cutting additional flowers and greens from the field.

You will then take home your beautiful creation including the flower vessel.

Workshops will be scheduled in June.

We wish you and yours a healthy and wonderful holiday season and we hope to connect with you on the farm now and through the growing season!
