Blossoming Bough Flowers

Blossoming Bough Flowers Romantic - Botanical - Elegant - Wild: year-round floral design for your event + ecologically grown seasonal flowers from my gardens in northern Vermont.

Tucked away in the woods of beautiful Craftsbury Common, we offer floral design for all occasions-- our specialty is in romantic, lush, botanically inspired florals for events. We also offer local delivery of bouquets created from flowers and greens grown right here, and sell small bouquets at local stores in season. As a micro flower farm on 1/8 acre, we cram the growing space with beautiful, ele

gant, often fragrant blooms like sweet peas, Iceland poppies, foxgloves, cosmos, and whatever else will grow well here. Currently we are trialing tons of new varieties of annual and perennial flowers, plus a selection of hardy, scented roses, planning for larger plantings of perennials and roses in the future. Also on trial this year are over a dozen varieties of specialty dahlias. Our growing practices are clean, ecologically conscious, and sustainable, focusing on soil health first since that is where the healthiest, longest-lasting and most beautiful flowers begin. Although not certified organic, we use only organic methods in growing our flowers. We also love to support other local flower farmers-- so our arrangements will always be mostly made up of locally grown and foraged materials. If you are interested in purchasing a bouquet for your next party, talking over floral design for your wedding, or bringing our bouquets into your store, please get in touch via Facebook message or email. Looking forward to hearing from you!

First sweet pea is blooming! I love these so much yet haven’t planted them in a couple years. Also look at that beautiful sparkling meadow grass in front of my (bloomed out before I could harvest much) oldest mockorange!

Local florists, availability for this week is now in your email if you are on my email list! Peonies still available and bunnytail grass has been added!

Fun assortment of blooms from and David’s upcoming wedding!

Sourced from my gardens, and the sides of my driveway and road!

Blooming NOW: coral peonies! And I think the Shirley Temple peonies too. If anyone needs a bunch or two of coral peonies, let me know ASAP! Same with a couple bunches of blush Shirley Temples and a very few Festiva Maxima! If you need some, please DM and I will harvest and get them in the cooler!

This year I’ve promised the bulk of my peony crop to but that doesn’t include the coral varieties because they had frost damage this year and many of the buds didn’t mature. I have about 12 plants of each variety (except fewer of Shirley Temple, Moon River, and a couple single single types I rarely sell) and I’ve never made a big effort to sell any of them before— they are around 6 years old now and in their early years I used them all in weddings. The past couple years I didn’t have the time to harvest (and one year they nearly all got hit by a late hard freeze and didn’t bloom). But this year, darn it, all the work of maintaining them needs to pay a little!

I’m trying to decide what dark pink variety to add. These days the smaller weddings I do now and then often call for bright colors and I get asked for dark pink peonies a lot— so flower folk! What’s your favorite dark pink variety?!

Also, anyone want to split a peony root crate with me? Not sure I want 30 plants of the same kind at this stage…

Yesterday. I decided this year to work on some more unique dried floral creations for hopefully selling at a winter market or two. It turns out that buttercups dry very nicely so I will be trying them out this year!

It was a no-nap day even with a stroller walk so I didn’t collect as much as I would like; will need to go wandering again as buttercups shrink a lot when dried and I suspect I will need a lot.

A beautiful early summer day!

Also coming soon— peonies and mockorange!

My mother came yesterday and hung out with my daughter for the day while I prepared garden space and planted a bunch of seedlings at high speed! They helped some too— 3 generations planting the garden this year!

I can’t believe it but it’s almost my 10th wedding anniversary (tomorrow). My favorite, and also most crammed, time of year!

My strawflower bed is in one of these pictures. Also planted: bunnytail and quaking grass, delphinium (the small, sky blue one everyone loves), and ammobium (the tiny white everlasting). If I can’t sell the delphinium fresh I’ll dry it. Planning for lots of beautiful dried creations this fall!

Obviously this is from last summer… but I figured I’d show my face here to share that you can still bring home some of my healthy dahlia tubers, all grown here in northern VT. Selection has been updated for the last time— dahlia tubers will no longer be available after tomorrow until this year’s harvest is in, in November.

Thank you SO much for your support if you already will be growing some of my tubers this year!!

The selection for next year is getting a whole lot more exciting with precious new and heirloom varieties from and more!

For anyone wondering, yes I still do flowers. Mostly small, a la carte style weddings. All the info is in my b!0.

Spring whirlwind is at hand!!

It’s GREEN!! Spring is here and things are happening! Read on for the latest:

-Dahlia tubers on line til the 10th. Decent array of lovely varieties— send some to your mother figures just in time for planting!

-I’m struggling to w**d and prep the gardens fast enough. Strawflowers, lunaria, bunnytail and quaking grass need to get planted in the next week. Delphiniums should too…

-All the seeds have been planted in flats that I’ll be starting this year with the exception of some quick growing vegetables. I’m growing WAY more flowers this year, especially ones for drying. Hoping to have some really creative dried floral creations to offer at a winter market or two.

-My sweet daughter both loves to help and destroys plants. A lot of extra work going into fencing everything in (within the fence) to protect from the impossible to eradicate woodchuck pests and from her overly enthusiastic harvesting of flowers and peony stems.

-And oh yes, I will have hundreds of stems of peonies! Florists, let me know if you need some for mid-late June!

Who am I kidding that anyone will even read this!

Anyone else already feel slightly frantic about their garden?!

Things are wrapping up soon on the dahlia tuber front— shipping them takes a lot of time! So much to do at this time of year! I need the limited time I’ve got to w**d and prepare many garden beds for this year’s dahlias and a LOT of flower and veggie seedlings. I’m planning on lots of dried flowers and grasses from the garden this year and ample numbers of some varieties (like annual phlox and specialty zinnias) that I can both use in summer/fall weddings and sell to another local florist who has a similar color sensibility to me ( 🤍). Yay for a la carte weddings, I now have 5 and will happily take on a few more! Mid June til mid September has availability for minimal OR maximal a la carte creations I make and drop off & your family/friends/coordinator set out.

Oh and there’s a lot of perennial bed maintenance to do after basically 3 years of neglect (busiest year ever in 2021, I was pregnant summer/fall 2022, then my child has taken first priority since early 2023!). Moving daffodils so they don’t get subsumed by w**ds or crowd themselves out (and spring is the only time I’ll ever do anything with daffodils, honestly). Weeding at least some of the peony rows that are also drowning in quackgrass and putting 2 layers of white/black landscape fabric on. Believe me I would love to not use all that plastic but I have tried everything I know of except herbicides on the quackgrass that inhabits my gardens.

So whew a lot is going on! Dahlia $h•p open and shipping til the 10th!

For those who made it this far, this dahlia is ‘Senior’s Hope.’ Super productive short dark-leaved plants with long almost naked flower stems. Still have a bunch to share!

Happy actual spring in VT!

Would you like to grow these arrangements?! I’m doing an experiment and making CUTFLOWER START COLLECTIONS available for locals to pre-order! Varieties/flower species and details below! Direct 🔗 in stories.

PREORDER either a 10-pack or 20-pack of mixed annual seedlings for an amazing cut flower patch in your own garden, blooming late July to frost. On farm pickup in Craftsbury Common, VT (no shipping).

This Peach & Blue collection includes my favorite colors and annual flower varieties, and will produce a mix of shapes, sizes and textures in shades of peach, champagne, white, and light blue. Cosmos, annual phlox, bunny tail or quaking grass, zinnias in refined colors, Cliveden Beauty cut flower delphinium (a smaller flowering, more wild-looking delphinium that may or may not perennialize) and amaranth are the easy-to-grow plants this collection is most likely to contain but I may substitute others in appropriate colors to make up a diverse and long-flowering mixture.

10-packs will contain 2-3 plants each of 4-5 varieties of flowers. 20-packs will contain 3-5 plants of 4-6 varieties. Plants come in 2.5” plugs.

I’ve still got bunches of some really incredible, distinctive cut flower and garden left that you can still call home to your garden for this year! Packing them in every little interstice in my toddler-mama life I can, to get them all out during April this year.

VARIETIES SHOWN (all available!):
‘Platinum Blonde’
‘Linda’s Baby’ (fantastic cutting variety)
‘Lakeview Peach Fuzz’
‘Cafe au Lait’
And some very exciting dahlia seedlings from seeds I saved from particular varieties I’m excited to hybridize with!

Thinking back on weddings I’ve flowered in the past, this was one of the more spectacular! A lushly decorated arbor, a massive (and underpriced) live floral chandelier hoop, and various table floral designs. (And truly gorgeous bouquets but I haven’t any photos of those that I took and I’ve lost track of who the pro photographer was). At a favorite venue I became comfortable at, in Stowe, with as coordinator.

This year, I have a few more openings for a la carte florals— great for elopements, smaller events, and whatever party you’re planning where family and friends help you set out flowers rather than paying a 25% delivery fee for the florist to do it for you.

I’m hoping to have some availability for full service events again (like this one!) for 2026. Weddings pros who have worked with me, please spread the word!

Introducing my first decor offering for anyone who loves putting flowers on their table, wherever you are! These are my favorite bud vase designs, and my rental collection of these has been some of the most popular for all kinds of weddings and much admired at venues like and where multiple event clients have requested them!

The vase shapes are lovely and hold a lot of water for their height, meaning easy use outside (less chance of blowing over in the wind) and in (flowers last longer as the water won’t dry out in a couple days). The handmade look of these farmhouse-style pottery vases makes them beautiful in all kinds of decor— modern farmhouse, modern neutral, traditional farmhouse, cottagecore…. On and on.

I’m offering singles of each size— a small, medium, and large— as well as the trio of one of each size seen here.

Check ‘em out! Also happy to sell them in quantity for a price closer to wholesale; message me if interested.
