These beauties arrived just in time for an event in Sechelt this weekend, pretty soon I'll have bunches available at the farmstand!
The anemones are hitting their stride as well, and I finally have enough stems to put a few bunches out this weekend. Send me a message to reserve some if you'd like!

Anemones, the unsung heros of late spring, early summer flowers.
I could stare at these iridescent blooms all day 😍

A nice mix of tulips for a special order today 😍

It's been radio silence here after a successful and busy Mother's Day, I was a bit wiped out. Nothing quite like planting, harvesting, storing, arranging, giftwrapping and selling (out!) thousands of tulips, practically solo! Hugely grateful to for helping out. She got a crash course in floristry and did an amazing job!

I will have some of the last tulip bunches on the stand this weekend, msg me to reserve or for a special order. Unbelievably, I still have tulips ripening in the field! This spring has been bonkers with the cool weather and relentless rain, and I am SO happy about it. It's allowed for a very successful tulip harvest (tho the ranunculus are JUST starting to bud up now, and I really would appreciate if they'd hurry it up a bit.)

Many thanks to all of you have supported this farming dream of mine so far this season 💕

Tulips are at the farmstand tomorrow (Wednesday) from 830 am on, 3028 Lower Rd. I'll be restocking every morning through the weekend. They arrive in a closed bud stage to prolong vaselife and for easy transport, but will open beautifully for you at home. I still have some pre-order availability for Friday/Saturday pick-up, shoot me a DM if you'd like to reserve a bouquet!

These lavender tulips are so sweet and dainty. They don't look spectacular at first but look at those layers of pointed petals when they open! She's also a bit on the short side, but no matter, they grow in the vase anyway.

It's been a long minute since I've posted updates here... to be honest, last year's heatwaves and water restrictions really put the kibosh on my summer crops. But here I am with good news, these 1000s of tulips are going to be ready in a few weeks! Beautiful, long-lasting, double and parrot varieties in a wide range of colours will be harvested for farmstand sales, Easter and Mother's Day bouquets. I am SO excited to kick off the 2022 flower season, see you soon!!

One of my many First Year Farming Fails was growing stock. This gorgeous flower is one of just 5 stems that survived out of the 500 babies that I grew from seed and planted out in a nice long row. When I realized that the weather had got too hot, too quickly, I figured most of those babies would die (they are a cool flower and don't do well in heat) so a couple weeks after planting them I ripped them all out and replaced the row with sunflowers. I left a few of the healthier plants in the ground to see if they would do anything, and this is what I got to bring home to my windowsil vase. I love her. She's so gorgeous, smells like cloves, and I just love the apricot blush colour!
I'm going to make sure I do stock right in 2022, and plant a whole shwack of them this fall to over-winter. If I'm feeling industrious, I might do a late winter planting as well to get a longer harvest. Strange to think that I'll be sowing and planting 1000s of flowers in just a few months, all for next year's harvest!

Big, bright and beautiful bouquets!

Yarrow and feverfew have got to be THE cutest filler flowers! I just love them. There will be a ton of bouquets at the stand this week! Swing by, or message me for delivery 🙂💕

They smell sweet like bubblegum and their colours remind me of a tropical drink 😍
There are still some bunches at the stand!

First bunches of snapdragons and sweetpeas. These smell delicious!

06/06/2021

Gathered a few flowers...
I hope you guys have enjoyed all the ranunculus and anemone blooms these last few weeks, as this weekend was probably the last harvest. There is a bit of an unscheduled pause now for the farm stand (sorry!) while I wait for the next crops to start producing.
All of these flowers were grown from corms I purchased from Thank you so much Louise, for everything that you do!

At the stand, and in the pre-orders. They won't be around much longer!
