Shawnee Stems The Flower Barn

We received 16 wooden benches today!!

We need to get them cleaned up and do a few repairs here and there. We think these will be a nice addition to the ceremony space!

💐 In flower news, my peonies are up! 💐

It may not look like much now but in a month or so these babies will start blooming!

We have already done our first mowing and ongoing fungicide treatments. The weeding is about to begin, especially around my younger plants!

I am excited to see how they do this year! We are hoping for a decent harvest and a nice display!

We have around 1,000 peony plants! All different colors, mostly doubles and semi doubles!

These are not available for U-pick at this time but I will possibly have bunches for sale this year!

🌅 Maybe I should have extended the open house to 8 so you all could see the sunset here at Shawnee Stems! 🌅

I couldn't help but snap a picture from the side porch this evening!

No photo edit needed.

🪚🍺 Amish carpenters made this beautiful reclaimed bar top! It's going to be perfect for serving those celebratory drinks to your guests!🍺🪚

I should have taken before and after photos of the boards they used! It's always amazing what some sanding and finish does to the wood. Again, the talented Ben Kubitz, brought this piece to life with the finish!
