Hey Flower Lovers! Gretchen here. I know it’s been a small eternity since my last post. Life took some major turns for the whole Petals crew in June and we are just coming up for air! I’ve been running this ship since 2009 and it has hands down been the most fulfilling, ambitious and difficult time of my life! From humble beginnings, to hundreds of fabulous wedding clients and hundreds of thousands of stems grown —I am full to the brim with beauty and pride and gratitude for all that made this dream of mine possible—from friends and family, to clients, vendors, local businesses, and far-off internet admirers. None of this would have been possible without you! Above all else, the incredible team of women I’ve been lucky enough to have as a support team have kept this flower wheel turning throughout the years. And So it is with great pride and excitement for what comes next that I pass the Petals torch to my long-time employee Chandler has been a Petals gal for five years, and knows the ins and outs of the farm like no other, as well as having the creativity and finesse to create some of our most beautiful designs! She will undoubtedly continue the incredible service and floral products y’all know and love, while infusing her own asthetic into the mix. Chandler and her (very handy) husband Grant moved into the farmhouse in June and have already made long-overdue repairs, expanded next season’s flower variety line up, and improved some of our systems. But their greatest labor of love these past several months hasn’t been growing flowers, but TWINS! Callan and Ryan, now 5 months, are the most adorable pair of babies you will ever meet 😭 As I head out on my own next chapter, it brings me great peace to know the little farmhouse on the prairie is filled with so much love, tiny squeaks & smiles, and two parents with the muscle and moxie to make what I started so long ago a brand new dream of their own.

Juxtaposition: Spring bounty & Spring destruction. In my last post holding that beautiful handful of anemones I almost went into my quarterly “Mother Nature owns my ass” speech, because a month prior the farm got TEN inches of rain in less than a week, and despite raised beds in the big houses, the flooding destroyed 50% of our anemone crop. But last week I thought—nah, I’m just gonna focus on this handful of perfection right here. Well. Fast forward to yesterday. I left the farm at about 3 am for the airport. I’d checked the radar several times which showed a non-threatening, light green blob indicating 6 mile an hour winds and 0.08” of rain—aka—no big deal. But when my plane hit the tarmac in Arizona at 8 am, I got these pics of the destroyed tunnel from Chelsea. I may have startled the entire plane of people exclaiming “HOLY SH*T!” I’m shocked….and not shocked. I’m itching to get home to see what can be done…and contemplating not returning at all 🤣 If your greenhouse is blown away in a rogue storm and you’re not home to hear it, does it make a sound??? Mother Nature is the boss of me. And sometimes having every weather app on your phone just doesn’t freaking matter. This is farming.

Day 3: How to enjoy poppy season! Our poppies can be found all around town during the month of March. We make drops to twice a week where you’ll find our blooms wrapped in black paper and stamped with the logo. We also make weekly drops to where you can also score amazing baked goods, homemade jams and more. Every Sunday (*hoping for the first to be Feb 18) until late November, you can shop our booth at Mueller from 10-2 (spoiler alert—we typically sell out fast, come before noon!) This market has SO MANY fantastic vendors—eat, shop veggies, cheese, honey, and baked goods for the week or treat yourself to a local artisan’s wares! You can also score poppies direct from the farm via online ordering for delivery to central Austin, Pflugerville and Manor on Tuesdays and Thursdays, or swing by the farm stand in Manor *beginning Saturday March 2*. We are shooting for the farm stand to be open 9-4 for the duration of the season. Cash & Apple Pay preferred payment methods. See you allllll around town with our gorgeous poppies!
