Confession: I hate making videos 😅 but it’s been way too long since I’ve given you a garden tour so please deal with the terrible editing and enjoy this quick tour that I filmed last week!

👋 I’m starting to think about Valentine’s Day and I could use your opinion!!
I’m hoping to be able to open up a few more Spring Flower Packs. At Christmas, they come with an ornament but what should they come with for Valentines Day?

Is just a card ok?
Rose scented shower steamers / pamper stuff?
Pressed flower jewelry (like last year)?
Chocolates?

What would you want?

PS - Facebook is dumb and won’t let business pages make polls 😛 so please comment below and we can brainstorm together!!

It’s subscription delivery day! I miss using my own flowers 🥲 but each of these bouquets has at least one that I grew, can you spot them? 😉

I’ll give you a hint for some of them: my first ever “forced bulbs” started blooming yesterday!

01/06/2025

I bet you can guess what my chores were this weekend! 🥶

But also, this is not a bad first flower harvest of 2025 😍

FLOWER FACT FRIDAY!
Have you ever wondered how stores have Amaryllis blooming right around Christmas time? They use a trick to “force bulbs” to bloom out of season by mimicking their desired blooming temperatures!

Some of the most common bulbs to “force” are Amaryllis, Paperwhites, Hyacinth, and Tulips.

I’m trying to force Paperwhites & Hyacinth now to see if I can have fresh flowers this January & February. Wish me luck!

to last May when the Campanula (aka Bellflowers) were blooming 😍
The new Campanula babies are looking great and I can’t wait to see all the new colors in person!

Happy New Year!

Farm Chores look a little bit different in the winter 😂 I’m trading in my farm tools for my data analytics skills this week 🤓 some of the fun facts from my year in review (data edition):
- 7,980 flowers harvested
- 447 bouquets of various sizes sold
- 215 bouquets donated
- The two biggest weeks of the year were the week of March 18 with 273 Ranunculus and the week of October 1 with 306 Zinnias

FLOWER [FARMER] FACT FRIDAY
Unmute to hear my favorite Christmas song ♥️

12/26/2024

12/25/2024

Merry Christmas!! I pray that you’re able to take a moment today to remember the Reason for the season ♥️

12/23/2024

This week, I’m skipping the usual flower posts with the true reason for the season. I hope that you are able to slow down and celebrate that true Love came down so that we could have life and have it to the full (John 10:10).

Today’s verse is the origin of the “Because” in Blooms Because… My mission is to share the beauty of God’s creation to spark joy, ignite hope, and spread love because He first loved us.

FLOWER FACT FRIDAY!!
If you don’t have many flowers, bud vases are your best friend! I used this trick at Thanksgiving and also last Christmas. It only takes one or two flowers per vase + a little greenery and BOOM! perfect centerpiece.

12/19/2024

… Can you tell I’m already ready for spring to get here? 😅

12/18/2024

I have a notecard with this verse on my desk and it is SO TRUE! I’ve been worried about meeting my Spring Flower Pack goal and of course the day after I gave it to God in prayer, 3 sold and I met my goal! 🎉
You’d think after the millionth time, I’d learn to trust instead of stress but 🤷‍♀️…

PS - There are still two packs (and ornaments) available if you’re interested! The caveat is that I’m no longer delivering the ornaments so you’ll have to swing by to pick up if you’d like one.

FLOWER. FACT. FRIDAY!
We got our first “killing frost” earlier this week (finally!)… As the temperatures drop, here’s a quick 🥶refresher:

FROST happens when ice crystals on surfaces and can happen above 32*. Summer plants (like zinnias) won’t typically survive frost but winter plants, shrubs, etc. should be fine.

LIGHT FREEZEs happen when the temperature is 32* or just barely below. Most plants should be ok here too! (But check the internet or your plant tags to be safe!)

HARD FREEZEs (when the temperature drops into the 20s) are what you need to worry about. Be sure to not only cover your faucets but also keep the frost cloth or extra sheets handy to protect your more sensitive areas plant babies!

FLOWER FACT FRIDAY!! Even though Basil season is almost over, I wanted to share this neat trick that works on many plant / flower varieties:If part of your bouquet gets droopy: 1) Heat up some water to boiling or almost boiling 2) Put the stems in the water but try to keep the leaves etc away from the steam 3) Wait until the water reaches room temperature and VOILA!

“Turning over” the flower beds aka ripping out old plants is the hardest part of the job for me 🥺 I would much rather wait for the first frost to kill them so I don’t have to be the bad guy 😂

FLOWER FACT FRIDAY!! Different types of insects pollinate different flower shapes. While bees do land on zinnias sometimes, they much prefer “shallow tubular” flowers like this salvia. 🐝 Butterflies are more likely to land on zinnias since they have a nice, open landing spot. 🦋

Thanks so much to everyone who came out to our first ever pumpkin decorating workshop; it was a ton of fun and I can’t wait to do it again next year!

Quick Garden update: All the zinnia successions are going strong and the first two (which were planted in the spring) are now over 5’ tall (and I have a selfie to prove it!) The newest zinnias in the alley are HUGE and are starting to go in bouquets + we have our first Dahlia of the season & the spring seedlings are happily growing in the closet 😂

As the kids go back to school and we all think about starting fresh, let this mutated zinnia remind you that being different can still be beautiful 🧡

Thank you to my incredibly thoughtful sister who saw my video from last week and shipped me this AMAZING rotating stand 😍 no more awkwardly turning the bouquet in my hands, I’m fancy now! 😉😂 THANK YOU!!

One of the things that flower farmers pride themselves on & use to judge the quality of flowers is stem length. So let me just say that I’m super proud and excited about these flowers! 😁 The goal is typically 12-18” long stems but as a general rule, the longer the better! Longer stems make the flowers more versatile since you can use them in a wider range of vases or arranging styles and also show that you’re following best practices on how to farm flowers.

I may have found my new favorite song (turn on sound to heard it)! I hope that these bouquets bring joy & light to their recipients today 💕
