One of my intentions for this year is to reconnect with photography for my personal growth.
I used to love the photography process so much but with social media, the process didn’t feel authentic anymore. It felt like I was doing it for others, than the sheer joy of doing it because it’s fun. I became so critical of myself to be at a certain level, that the whole act of picking up a digital camera started to feel cringey. I’ve started to experiment with film and digital again, and for the first time in a long time it feels fun and exploratory. Maybe it’s because I’m growing up and putting less pressure on myself, or perhaps I care less about what others think. Either way I’m still finding excitement in what I do, which brings in a lot of light when it’s dark 🩷
Week 6// I’ve been trying to figure out what balance means for a while now. Life/work/creative times/ activity times/sleep/finances/everything. We go through so many changes every year, and with each season I try to search for the mind space that I feel the most grounded in. The fall to winter is harder than I want it to be. However the winter to spring transition feels hopeful. Part of this is taking Vitamin D and trying to go to bed by 9:30 pm (lol). The other part is giving myself permission to rest and slow down.
Here are some pics from the farm this week that feel hopeful:
• Greenhouse tulips coming up (hoping for an early April harvest)
• Alliums and narcissus hiding behind blades of grass
• Greenhouse ranunculus showing great growth amongst some tulip weeds,
• Clematis looking like they are come back from the brink of death (what an amazing plant!)
• Graham (one of the property owners) pruning trees.

What did Week 1 of 2024 look like?
Well at the farm it looked like checking on foxglove and snapdragon babies in the greenhouse, giving the peonies some extra love, noticing some tulips poking out… (it’s been pretty warm so far), making sure there was mulch on certain perennials, ordering seeds and fixing a few things here and there. That cold weather is coming!

I’m going to make a seasonal bouquet with a cute look provided by @bootleggerjeans. Finding comfortable and cute fits while running around the flower farm can be tough, but this fit works for me when I’m switching it up from harvesting to design. I can actually see myself living in this kismet v neck bodysuit all summer long! To make this bouquet we have some tulips I have let blown open in the field, ranunculus and geum. Dame’s rocket and bluebells are often considered weeds, but I love their colour and feel, so definitely included them for a cotton candy colour palette. #sponsored #bootleggerjeans
It’s been fun playing with flowers again, especially with reminders of Spring in our gardens. I haven’t been able to get this song out of my head either, which is as good of a time stamp as any 🩷✨ This arrangement includes all BC grown flowers and foliage: snowdrops, arctic bells, tulips, roses, mums, northern sea oats, bamboo & a few spider plant bits ✨ #localflowers #sustainablefloristry #vancouverislandflorist
#canadianflowersweek // The idea behind this concept celebrated by #canadianflowerfarmers is to promote local and seasonal flowers as a disruption to the toxic industrial capitalism that is part of the floral industry at large. There are so many talented growers cultivating beauty in each province and as consumers, we have a responsibility to support practices that are environmentally sound. Growing flowers is hard. Running a small business is challenging. Especially in the wake of climate change, local, small scale producers are dealing with extreme weather events while doing their best to caretake the land. For me, when I grow, I feel like I’m playing an active role in mitigating climate change through regenerative farming practices. It empowers me and allows me to build beautiful relationships with so many creatives. So I just wanted to take the time to thank this local, small scale floral industry for continuously inspiring all of us. This week has been extra special because we are hosting a wonderful floral artist here at the farm. @kristajohnson_art will be here till Saturday living and painting on the property and I can’t wait to share her work with you!
Psychedelic x Tropical vibes floral arch for a super fun bride and groom this weekend. A huge yesss to folks who love colour and embrace seasonal flowers! We used mason jars, chicken wire and agra wool to create the base. Floral arch designed alongside @_flowerbob_ with flowers grown at our farm, Elizabeth’s garden, @coastalislandfarm, @yavi.farm and @moonpetalfarm. Super grateful to have @abuckeyesmoon on our farm team to help grow and harvest beautiful flowers! #floralarch #seasonalflowers #grownnotflown #comoxvalleyflorist
