My nana’s favourite colour was coral. That orangey-pink tone that screams ‘girly summer’ to me.

I have such a hard time settling on just one colour as a favourite but I think it’s green most days.

Yet this coral palette; peach, apricot, whatever you might refer to it as, is one of my absolute favourites.

Not only does it remind me of her. But it reminds me of summer sunsets, teenage dreams, hope and youthful naivety. It has a lightness to it. A freedom.

All that from just a colour. 🤯

For some, they are “just flowers” but they can communicate so much more than that.

Happy weekend!

Our bouquets this week are lovingly tended but slightly, shall we say, feral? Putting the wild in wildflowers, but started from seed in a cushy environment and transplanted, staked and fertilized in a way no real “wild” flower would.

This weekends bouquets contain snapdragons, stock, rudbeckia, golden Marguerite, feverfew, and yarrow.

I’m also offering:
-sweet pea jars $10
-feverfew “tetra white” bunches $10
-“appleblossom” snapdragon bunch $20
-garlic scapes, consider it the loot bag to your flower stand visit 🙃
-my leftover tomato and pepper seedlings, also free to a good home.
-📚novels! A little flowering library. Help yourself to a book, perhaps gift a book along with a bouquet. You are free to leave novels as well but you are not obligated to in order to take a book. Please keep it to novels and don’t use it as an old book purge spot 🙏🏻
-jars of water for the road should you need it; complimentary

The flower stand bouquets are pre-made, as is. Any customizations, or pick ups on other days become a “custom order”. They are possible but must be discussed ahead of time and paid for in advance. DM for more details.

Happy Canada Day from my patch of this beautiful country to yours!! 🇨🇦

It is the season of fresh flowers in a chaotic home 🙃

Schools out (ours have already been home for 2 weeks), the house has emploded and last night the dog had wicked gas. But those flowers, especially the stock, caught on the fresh breeze coming in through the window and assisted with that situation.

There are no corners for a curated shot without dust and mess with beautiful lighting but that doesn’t mean they aren’t enjoyed.

Because life is perfectly imperfect and we deserve to see the beauty of each day.

We’re back!!

Mixed bouquets
(4 snapdragons, 1 stock, 1, feverfew, and I lost count of the ranunculus stems in each bunch but there’s a generous amount) for $20

This is the last of the ranunculus for the year. This past week’s heat wave brought an end to the 2025 ranunculus crops.

Local delivery is available on Saturday for $10 per address (so if you and a friend want bouquets and I deliver them both to 1 house, $10 delivery charge. If you want a bouquet at your address and you want to surprise a friend with one delivered to their address, there are 2 delivery fees). DM me to discuss the areas covered.

Delivery orders must be placed before 9pm Friday night.

The “scent-sational” harvest got smaller as I moved down the row. 🤣

Once I had kids I realized how few flowers have scent. When they were toddlers we’d stop to smell the flowers and again and again there would be “nothing” to smell.

Bred for ruffles or colour or form and the scent gets lost along the way perhaps or maybe it just never was a smelly one to begin with.

At the grocery store we’d sniff all the flowers and again, nothing much to ever note for scent.

It prompted me to start my own sensory garden that was full of scent. Snowball viburnum, lilac, mock orange, peony, Daphne (which I promptly killed), lemon creeping thyme, roses … it was heavenly! I am excited to eventually add more of these components to our current garden.

But when I got into cutting flowers I had no idea the intoxicating scents that I would discover. Daffodils, Snapdragons, sweet peas, stock… I often know a brand new batch of flowers is blooming in the garden because a waft of perfume floats through the yard to me and it draws me into a scavenger hunt to figure out who is beckoning.

If scent is your jam, then you’re going to love this weekends flower stand bunches. 😉

There have been so many new faces around here this last month with a lot of the same questions coming in, so I thought I’d do a little FAQ here.

I do have a website (link in bio, you can Google buying thyme designs or type it in the old fashioned way www.buyingthymedesigns.ca) where all of this information can also be found.

🌸 the flower stand $20
This is where you’ll find my $20 bunches. I might have smaller bunches as well for $10 but it’s always going to be an easy bill amount to make paying at the stand simple.
It is only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
There might be a rare occasion if there’s a super large harvest that needs to be moved where it’ll be open on other days but it is not the norm.

🌸 custom requests
Yes I do them! Anything that is not in the weekend pre made bunches falls under a custom request. You want to pick something up on a Tuesday, we can do that! But it’s no longer just a “flowerstand” bunch. Want to make customizations to the flowerstand bunches? If I can accommodate I will, but again, it’s no longer just a flowerstand bunch. And the pricing will reflect the requests. Custom ask, custom price. Payment must be e-transferred before any harvests occur. Alas, you can thank prior no-shows for that policy 🙃

🌸DIY buckets $125
Perfect for parties, bloom bars, baby showers, diy weddings. 60 stems; 50 flowers, 10 foliage. I try to accommodate specific colour palette requests but this is a “growers choice” bucket and is dependent on what is currently growing.

🌸weddings
A la carte weddings where you pick up pre made items such as bouquets and centrepieces is something I offer.
I do not do full service installations.

I grow everything that I am working with (in a pinch I will source from other nearby flower farmers) but I do not work with imported flowers or even wholesale flowers currently. I really strive to celebrate what is grown right here in Durham and the seasonality of it in my designs. To me, local means close proximity rather than “Ontario” or “Canada”.

This means I may have gaps in the year where blooms are sparse and only offer flowers during the growing season of May to October.

The heat today, is going to make us all melt.

Because of that I’ll be closing the flower stand early (noon) and I’ve got the flowers on ice in the meantime.

There is only 1 ranunculus bunch left, and a few of the mixed bouquets (peony, snapdragon, stock, ranunculus, anemone, feverfew).

Thank you so much for all the support of my flower stand this weekend! So many flowers went to new homes, and so many of you gave me such lovely feedback 🥰
