Dreaming of summer days + playing with flowers 🌼

I’m a procrastinator which usually means I go into the season a little disorganized and ill prepared to handle everything that needs to get done during the chaos of spring and summer.

This year is an important one for us however and I’ve chosen to take some time off from my job at the nursery to get organized for the season ahead. This time I’ve had had allowed me to get more organized than I’ve ever been in my life!

I’m just over here getting seeds planted, organizing wedding details and design proposals for our brides, making social media schedules, getting tax stuff done and all these fun things that go on in the background of owning a business.

I used to hate all the mundane chores but I’m learning to just accept them as a necessary part of the process instead of hemming and hawing over it.

Its been a good winter, slowing down and getting the necessary things done so the season runs smoothly! I hope you are enjoying your winter as well and getting some much needed rest 🌸

We’ve started our 4th season of seed starting and can remember how overwhelming it was in the beginning!

To help you out we’ve shared our seed starting schedule for the season to our bio! While the numbers of seeds were starting aren’t finalized, these are the dates that we’ll sow our seeds!

Our seed starting schedule includes basic growing info such as frost dates and daylight hours for our zone in Abbotsford, BC, Canada. It also contains some info about flower classification.

🌻PLEASE keep in mind that this schedule is based on 3 years of growing in our own microclimate and zone and the dates are planned according to what works best for us in the context in which we grow. Even if you are in the same zone the timing of how we do things may not work for you. You must figure it out for yourself. This schedule is not meant to be copy pasted but to help guide you as to what to include in your plans and schedules as you plan out your season! 🌻

Happy growing! Make sure you drop your questions in the comments!

It’s been the kind of January that dreams are made of (weather wise)! Here’s what we’re thankful for this January:

- mild temperatures
- beautiful sunny days
- no wind
- healthy ranunculus crops
- visits from out of town friends
- slow days at home
- walks with poppy

I (marika) injured my back quite badly this past week. The nurse at urgent care said it’s likely just a muscle injury thankfully. I got a little angry and annoyed for a couple days because I hate sitting around, but last night I fixed my attitude and focused on the blessings instead of getting caught up on the hard things. Perspective shifting is always a good thing!

What are you thankful for this week?

Happy American Thanksgiving!

Yes, I’m Canadian, but American Thanksgiving has a special hold on me.

Here’s why:

Before I was a flower farmer I was a teacher and I spent two years of my college career in California. That first year of college, November rolled around and I had to figure out what to do for Thanksgiving break as you get an entire week off from school in America for Thanksgiving (crazy right!?). So for the two years that I attended school in California, I drove 12 hours to New Mexico with some of my friends to spend Thanksgiving at their parents house. Those are still some of my favourite memories from college. Just spending a week in New Mexico hanging out with whoever we dragged along from school was so fun and the Thanksgiving dinner was always such a big deal. We would all sit down to eat and then play football (check out photo #2 for a throwback to 2018 and baby Marika 😅) and hangout all day and it was this big beautiful day with friends and family and I loved it. I fell in love with how big of a deal Thanksgiving is in the states.

So what am I thankful for? Well mainly all of you. I know I say this often, but this business could not exist without all of you who follow us who encourage us, who show up to markets, who enquire with us for wedding flowers, who buy subscriptions- you guys keep it going.

2025 is officially year 3 for us and we couldn’t be more excited to bring you joy in the form of flowers! Happy thanksgiving 🦃

Busy doing fall things. Taking it slow but getting it done.

Fall field work consists of:
- lots of cutting down plants
- lifting and storing landscape fabric and irrigation
- planting peonies, tulip bulbs and ranunculus corms
- planting hardy plants that we baby through the winter
- mulching everything
- securing the greenhouse for winter

Were also working on lots of online things like some official wedding things, accounting stuff, business reviews, 2025 orders and more.

Every day is a mix of inside and outside tasks but the variety is nice. We don’t currently have any social media content on deck as we’ve just been hustling to complete tasks but if you have any specific questions send them our way and we’ll do our best to help!

Thanks for being here! We’re dreaming up big things for next season!

In June I made my best friends wedding bouquet with 100% farm grown flowers from a small farm in Pennsylvania.

When Meggy asked me to do the flowers for her wedding I knew I had to support a small flower farm just like mine. After some searching I found a farm that could supply buckets of flowers for the event. When we got there I was blown away by the variety of different flowers they had graciously provided. It was such a lovely experience to meet growers from thousands of kilometres away doing just what we do up here in Canada.
