Summer Subscription Info: (Go live will be by the end of January to enable gifting for Valentine’s Day and
Mother’s Day)

We are working on finalizing our summer subscription offering and details. We are leaning towards another 8 week offering that will begin at the end of July. When this offering goes live, please note that all pick up days are set. This revolves around Morrisa’s schedule at the hospital, as well as travel that is already planned.

Why do we list this offering so early in the year? This allows us to plan our field accordingly and finalize all seed orders.

These spots will be more limited than our spring subscription as designing and executing summer bouquets is much more time consuming.

If you are needing bridal bouquets in late July, August, September, or early October - please reach out soon ☺️

Please reach out to us if you gifted a spring subscription and need something to print to represent the gift. I just made some things in Canva. They have a “Merry Christmas” theme, but I can easily change this to represent a different holiday, or a “just because” moment.

Your surprise is still safe with us ☺️ We won’t be sending any info to Subscribers until March!

I remember the first time I ordered tulip bulbs just two years ago. I had no idea what I was doing. I ordered a bulk pack of 1000 from an online retailer and added a few other packs of 15 to it for some specialty varieties to try. ⁣
⁣
𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘥. ⁣
⁣
And then I learned the hard way that all of those tulips would bloom at once because they were all the same variety and I needed somewhere to store them. My mom came to the rescue and bought us a $450 fridge that had a tiny flaw that Menards had marked down. ⁣
⁣
𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘥. ⁣
⁣
You all loved those tulips and it was so fun to harvest them but I had grander plans for 2024. We ordered 2200 bulbs in multiple varieties. Doubles. Fringed. Eye catching varieties. I knew the fridge would no longer cut it so we bought an 8x10 shipping container that was converted to a cooler from another local business. It would allow us to space out the season and safely store so many blooms. That purchase completely drained the profit I made the previous season. ⁣
⁣
𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘥. ⁣
⁣
This week we took possession of 4200 tulip bulbs that need to go in the ground. 4200. Can you imagine?! That time a box of 1000 showed up I thought I was doing something big. With the bulbs in our possession I was finally able to list our spring subscription yesterday. On farm pick up sold out in one hour and our second pick up location sold out in 6 hours. ⁣
⁣
My mind is blown. My heart is full. My soul is yearning for the freshness of spring. And . . . ⁣
⁣
𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝘀𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗱. THANK YOU!⁣

Friday morning at 8 am our Spring Subscription launches on our website. Our last subscription sold out in 48 hours. Please help us by sharing this post 🫶🏼

Five bouquets: 3 weeks of tulips + 2 weeks of peonies. Other spring blooming flowers will help fill up these bouquets. Start time is completely dependent on the weather but a detailed pick up timeline will go out to subscribers in March. This means you can secretly GIFT a subscription to a friend or loved one. Tulips are expected to bloom in April and the we pause to wait on peonies in May.

We will have one listing for on farm pick up in Chatham and a separate listing for pick up at The Crafted Stag Supply.

All the flowers are grown right here in Chatham. By supporting this subscription you’re supporting the *entire* process of growing flowers.

Planning, bulb ordering, bed preparation, planting, protecting, watering, harvesting, storing, arranging. In fact, this week we took possession of 4200 tulip bulbs! 4200! Tomorrow, two hundred peony bare roots begin to arrive to bring our peony fields up to 400 plants!

I’m basically a bee’s best friend 👩🏼‍🌾🐝💐

Here’s your sneak peek at our 2025 tulips! Spring Subscriptions will be listed for sale on our website Friday morning at 8 am! Set an alarm! (Tons of info in previous post).

I brought in more peachy tones and some pops of orange. I am *so* excited to design with these colors!

10/28/2024

I just put three listings on our website for pick up today: two full size arrangements and four bud vases. These are a beautiful finale for fall! This is it until 2025! Link in comments.

Consider this your warning - and the post you send to your spouses or tag them to remind them to set an alarm 🤣 Please carefully read *ALL* the details.

Spring Subscriptions will go up for sale Friday, November 1st at 8 am. Sharp. Our last subscription sold out in 48 hours.

The basic details:

This is a five week subscription. Three weeks of tulips, a pause, two weeks of peonies. (Five paper wrapped bouquets total).

We will have two listings: one for on farm pick up in Chatham and another for pick up at The Crafted Stag Supply on the west side of Springfield. We appreciate our Crafted Stag partnership so much and just love their store!

Subscribers need to be individuals with flexibility as this subscription start time is completely dependent on our spring weather, and must also work around Morrisa’s schedule at the hospital. Historically we have tulips ready in April, and peonies ready in May.

Absolutely no communication will be sent to subscribers until the beginning of March. This allows you to secretly gift this subscription for any holiday or special occasion leading up until then. (I can send you a graphic with details to gift).

We do not offer refunds on our subscriptions. Anyone may pick up your flowers for you.

If we experience crop loss for any reason (weather, disease, animals, etc) we substitute with our summer annuals once they are blooming.

We do not import wholesale flowers for this subscription. Everything is grown by us on our property and we currently supplement our peonies with another grower here in Chatham while our plants are still maturing.

Please message us, text, or comment below with any questions.

As always, thank you so much for your continued support of our family business 🫶🏼

Pumpkin Arrangement offerings of the day. These are $70 each (cash or Venmo) and must be picked up today (Monday). Please comment sold on the individual photo and reach out to me via text to arrange your pick up. 217-899-3278

These *might* be the last ones offered as the flowers are getting very tired and I’m getting ready to work a couple overnight shifts at the hospital.

10/04/2024

There will be no pumpkin arrangements offered today. We have a bridal shower and homecoming bouquets to prep. We is me 🤣 and it’s raining 🫠Would you like to see pumpkin arrangements offered Saturday? Or wait til Sunday/Monday?

10/03/2024

Only one today as the other will be going to my mom for her birthday. I just love this one so much! $70 and pick up is anytime today - Thursday. I can accept Venmo or cash at pick up. Please comment sold to claim.

The pumpkins are not treated and there is a vase of water inside that needs freshened daily to extend the life of the flowers.

10/02/2024

Here are today’s pumpkin arrangement offerings. Please read and comment ON the photo SOLD of the arrangement you’d like to claim. These are each $70 which factors in the amount of flowers (including many dahlias) and the price of the pumpkins we locally sourced. I will accept Venmo or cash at pick up. Pick up is *TODAY* as our cooler had to be unplugged.

Each pumpkin you see from me in the coming days will include many dahlias. Dahlias are beautiful, different, unique, and require a lot of special attention. Dahlias are here for a good time, not here for a long time. They are not known for a long vase life. Please take that into consideration. Regardless - I encourage new, fresh water to any bouquet or arrangement I send out the door.

🎃💐 Pumpkin arrangement update:

Due to concrete going in at our house, our cooler is currently unplugged. I will not be able to make all of the pumpkin arrangements at once - SO - starting Wednesday you will see them posted here in small batches. Payment will be made via Venmo, and they will need picked up same day.

I hope to have 2-3 ready Wednesday, and will trickle in more each day. The best way to snag one is to turn on post notifications for this page.

I have had more people reach out than I am able to accomodate. In terms of harvesting and arranging I am a one woman show. I recently had a co-worker say that it looks like I have a staff of 30. I promise it is just me.

I currently have 10 pumpkins for bases. If I can continue to crank out more, I will source more pumpkins. But the season is coming to an end, the weather hasn’t been wonderful, and the flowers are getting tired.

Thank you for your support, interest, and understanding. 2024 has been a great year for our flower farm!

We are still trying to decide the best way to offer our pumpkin arrangements by pre-order and how to make it fair.

I apologize for the delay. I am still very much a full time pharmacist with four 12’s ahead of me starting tomorrow. Getting them in your hands at peak freshness is really important to me, and gutting all of these pumpkins can be time consuming.

I also want to make sure the current weather conditions and winds don’t impact what we have to offer.

Thanks for understanding!

Update: we are going to pause this offering due to all the rain I didn’t expect. Thank you to everyone that reached out. We will have more availability next week.

Our dahlias are really showing up to play thanks to it being less than 95 degrees finally 🤣 We have $25 wrapped bouquets available today, I’m making a few Homecoming bouquets, and later today I will post information on how you can reserve a pumpkin arrangement that will be available next week. Please text to reserve a wrapped bouquet today 217-899-3278 🫶🏼💐

I work at the hospital the next four days and since daytime hours are decreasing (I don’t harvest in the dark 🫣), I will not have availability again until Wednesday of next week.

09/22/2024

We *need* to move some flowers this week to keep them blooming. This week paper wraps are $25 cash or Venmo. If you reach out by 7 pm tonight I can have something in the stand for you tomorrow. Otherwise, next availability is Wednesday. Please text me. 217-899-3278

Two summers ago I told Chet I was going to learn how to grow flowers.

Today I handed off the first ever Coyote Acres Bridal Bouquet and my heart is completely bursting with pride.
