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.

If you’re looking for unique garden style wedding flowers just like these visit our website to inquire www.flowersbythefraser.com.

We escaped for a few days down the coast to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving.

How do I say thank you for this season?

This season was a season we went into with some hesitation and no expectation, knowing that finances were tight and flowers not a necessary expense.

But we have the best community, the best followers and some of the most lovely brides who have not only made this season a success but helped us get our name out into the world enough that were already looking at an incredibly busy 2025 wedding season.

As a business owner imposter syndrome can be jarring but with a lot of hard work and a beautifully supportive community we’re closing up another season that we can say was a definite success and we’re putting our eyes ahead and planning for another season that will be even more successful than this one!

So thank you to all of you! This community has helped us grow in so many ways this year. We truly couldn’t run this business without you!

Love, Marika and Melanie

That’s a wrap on market season!

Thank you Abbotsford for your support this season 🫶🏻

We know that flowers are a luxury expense and with the cost of living so high many of you may not have the budget for flowers every week.

But we have so many people who buy flowers every once in a while and some regulars who buy from us every market that we’re there and they get so excited about flowers and it makes us happy to see the joy our flowers bring.

We also appreciate those who come to just chat flowers with us, asking about different varieties and how to grow things in their home gardens.

We’ve met so many of you at our markets and we are thankful for this community.

Love, Marika + Melanie

Hey! We’re Marika and Melanie, the flower farmers behind this account! Oh and also a hi from our faithful farm mascot Poppuy!

We grow and design specialty flowers on 1/4 acre in Abbotsford British Columbia where the mountains meet the Fraser river, hence our business name.

We started our business on just 3,000 square feet, which is shown in the second photo above. We jammed a few thousand plants and 100 peonies onto this little plot of land.

Last fall we put up a 20x40ft unheated greenhouse named “The Bloom Room” and broke ground for our new main field. Everything in picture 3 is new to us growing space this year (except the 5 raised dahlia beds which we grew in in 2023). Now we’re growing on around 10,000 square feet which is around 1/4 acre and we plan to stay around this size for a few years.

We’ve had such a beautiful season working with various brides, florists and sending out bouquet subscriptions as well as attending markets.

Our two focuses for the coming year are wedding florals and flower subscriptions! We’ll be sharing more about these in the months to come so stay tuned!

We talk a lot about everyday farming life and flower availability on our stories so make sure to keep an eye on those if you’re interested in our flowers.

Thank you for being here!
Marika and Melanie

Summer is slowly slipping into fall.

The weather looks like it’s turning. Flowers will be over in around a month or sooner if we get consistent rain.

We have dahlias, asters and zinnias still putting on a show and more sunflowers getting ready to bloom.

Order your bouquet before the season draws to a close. Just tell us your budget and we’ll put together something beautiful for you. Send us a message with order yours today!

Pictured is a beautiful bucket of blooms going out the door tomorrow morning 🌸
