Fall is for planting 🍁
If you want showstopping blooms in your garden next Spring, it’s almost time to plant them!
Our Fall Bulb Sale (finally) went live this morning.
Quantities are very limited this season, as we are tucking the majority of our bulbs into the ground for Spring. This sale is for local pickup only, with pickup options in Avon, Unionville & Bristol CT in late October.
Visit the link in comments to shop the sale!
Thank you to @bounom_bakery & @brunoscafect for hosting us 💕
SOLD OUT
Growers choice bouquets, eucalyptus shower bundles and DIY buckets are SOLD OUT for September!
We’ll see how things go with first frost in October - perhaps we’ll have some flowers to share 💕
Don’t forget we’ll be at white memorial next Saturday 9/28 with our final bloom bar of the season!
Thank you all so much for choosing us this Mother’s Day. It was my first major holiday event with the farm, and I’m so grateful for all of you. When you support a small business it really does make the biggest difference.
I can’t wait to go bigger and better next year 💕
A cooler sneak peek 👀
We’ll be at Bela Vida & BouNom tomorrow with fresh cut flowers 💐 if you haven’t gotten her flowers yet, here’s your chance!
In the rush this morning I forgot to take photos of our Mother’s Day Preorders from today, but here’s a peek 😍 so colorful and cheerful for all the Moms out there!
Bristol preorders, your pickup is tomorrow.
And if you didn’t preorder but still need flowers, we will have retail available at BouNom in Avon tomrorow. Venmo only, first come first served.
We pull tulips early, at what the flower farming world calls ‘color crack stage.’ A lot of people think flower farm and they think beauty - and yes, we produce beautiful stems, but if you can see them blooming, they’re too late to use as a cut flower!
Instead, our customers get to enjoy a longer vase life and watch the magic that is double tulips opening. And I get to take a few trial handfuls into the house 😉
Sowing onions!
Onions are some of the easiest seeds to sow - I just broadcast them into an open flat and lightly tamp down and cover.
The roots are thick and fibrous and easy to pull apart when it’s time to plant out.
Onions are such an amazing companion plant for flowers! I like to some between my perennials and into annual beds to repel pests and even rodents from eating our young plants. Homegrown always tastes better too.
Seeds from @fruition_seeds - Rossa do Milano is my all time favorite onion!
We’ve got sprouts!
I went back and forth on sowing eucalyptus for awhile because it takes forever to mature, but I couldn’t resist - these will make their way into our late summer subscription bouquets.
So happy to have seedlings again!
Happy belated 2024 from us.

Making holiday gifts is fun and can be more even meaningful!
There are a million ideas out there, and these simple dried flower ornaments are easy enough for my toddler to make for friends and family. All you need is dried flowers, clear empty ornaments and pretty ribbon or twine. We also love to bake, make self care products, and other crafts - mostly with ingredients from our farm this year!
Are you making any gifts this year?
