New Blog Post - Spring is Springing

Hellebore Season

It’s early March and FINALLY feeling like winter moved on!

Thank goodness for all the cold hardy flowers I planted late fall/early winter, otherwise I would have very little to look forward to until early summer. I thought it would be fun to show you what’s happening now before the plants burst into blooms overnight.

Fancy Daffodils

Other than our hellebores (featured photo on top), the first set of plants to flower will be my fancy daffodils (which look ready any day now), followed by muscari, hycinth, tulips and anemones. We wait patiently all winter for these days and when it comes, the mass explosion of flowers leave little time to enjoy the moment with the need for immediate harvesting and selling. This year, I’ve made a promise to myself that I will enjoy the moment and fill my own home with flowers. (Hard to believe, but last season, I can count on one hand the times I set aside flowers for my own home).

Spring Wreath Workshop

Make these beautiful fresh wreaths using spring greenery and flowers. You will learn the techniques of keeping the flowers fresh and have the ability to replace spent flowers for the longest life.

Spring Wreath Pre Order

Can’t make the workshop? No problem! You can pre order our hand-made wreath, pick up available through March on Wednesdays, Saturdays, or Sundays (just order 3 days prior to pick up).

Grow Along Flower Club

Our spring grow along Flower Club registration will CLOSE on 3/23 and then we will assess if there’s still room to open up for joining us for May and June.

The first kit with seeds begin in April and as a member you will receive these kits for 3 months in April, May, and June. Along with the seeds, you will be part of our Members Only group with access to all our grow along information on our private web page and Facebook/Instagram group pages.

Most importantly, the goal with the Flower Club is not only teaching you and growing along with you beautiful cut flowers that will bloom in abundance all summer long, but to use this abundance to provide random acts of kindness by donating bouquets of them to individuals, hospitals, care organizations, etc.

I hope you will join me in this magical journey … but hurry!
