Nowadays Flowers Bridget + Robbie | Behind the scenes of our seasonal flower farm on the Seacoast of NH. 💐

03/11/2025

Back to work today after a week in New York, feeling inspired as we gear up for spring. ✨🌸🦢 I’m excited to share the photos with you, here’s a preview for now!

What a joy to get to learn from other designers, play with flowers and reconnect with my own creativity. So much planning, coordination and detailed admin goes into our business that pausing and getting to just show up and enjoy the flowers was an experience I didn’t even know I needed. It’s why I love hosting our own events, working with nature is meditative and powerful.

Thank you & for the most incredible workshop and for the best ribbon!

Designing in Prescott Park right near my old neighborhood in Brooklyn and exploring the flower market on 28th street, just a few blocks away from where I worked for so long was pretty wild. Life looks so different now.

Back home, we’re easing into spring but things are happening. 🌱 Early seeds have been started, designs are cranking, and today we even spent a little time weeding today. I’ll take it!

We’re hiring for the 2025 season! We work hard but have fun, and being surrounded by flowers makes for a pretty good office if you ask us. 🌱💐☀️

Our ideal candidates are positive, motivated, collaborative team members who share our enthusiasm for flowers and working with nature.

Some experience is required for our design crew but not for our farm production crew (though it may be a plus). You can view details and the full job descriptions on our website, link in bio. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Behind the scenes: our 2025 farm plan! 🌱💐✨

Here’s a very simplified, quick overview of our process (well I thought it was quick, Robbie was making “wrap it up” motions the whole time while filming this so…). If you prefer the even more long-winded version you can read it on the blog (and hi fellow plant nerds, you are my people!): https://www.nowadaysflowers.com/blog/our-2025-farm-plan

This is a beast of a project and usually takes me a couple weeks to fully wrap my head around, starting with looking at last year’s harvest records and notes, making any necessary adjustments based on what we learned and what we’re projecting for this year, and then laying out where everything will go and when. It’s a combination of spreadsheets, maps, written notes and research and it gets pretty technical, which always surprises people. It’s one of the differences between growing flowers commercially and growing a garden for fun: gotta love looking at the numbers to analyze crop production and profit margins just as much the pretty seed catalogues!

Which flowers are you most excited for?! I can’t wait for tulips (hopefully lol 🫠) lisis, dahlias (obv), and the zinnias (they were so great last year).

P.S., Spring is only 27 days away! ☀️

What an amazing day yesterday, in the company of many inspiring women in our community! Honored and grateful to accept this award, thank you The Chamber Collaborative of Greater Portsmouth and Women's Business League. 🙏❤️

I’m finally getting a chance to go through photos from last year’s weddings, recalling all the beautiful days we had the privilege of flowering!

Up first is a special one: not only did we get to design for Robbie’s sister Rachel and her husband Chris, but I was also honored to officiate the ceremony. 💓

They wanted their day to feel relaxed but full of joy, excitement and love. We were going for a romantic garden party that felt effortless but thoughtful, which was easy at the beautiful venue . We used the best of late June flowers like peonies, ranunculus and sweet peas, keeping it colorful but intentional.

The rain forced a last minute call to move things indoors, which ended up feeling so cozy. We repurposed the ceremony flowers around the reception space (one of the reasons I loved a grounded arch!), and a mix of centerpieces and bud vases sat among table numbers recognizing all the sweet pups they’ve fostered.

I had a quiet moment early in the morning feeling really lucky, doing what I love, for people I love (Frankie 7 months along snugged with me too!), using flowers from our farm.

So grateful for these photos from the talented to look back on such a special weekend celebrating these two. 🤍✨

We’re in wintering mode over here, a time of restoration, dreaming, and planning. So much happening under the surface. 🌱

We have beautiful wedding designs taking shape, some workshops on the calendar, and I’m excited to share the farm plan with you when it’s done.

Something I’ve also been spending a lot of time thinking about is our therapeutic horticulture programming to support mental health through nature. This has been percolating for a while, and it feels like we could use a little more joy right now huh?

I believe so strongly in the healing power of flowers. Not just in their beauty but in the way they connect us to ourselves, each other, and the earth.

As we plan more for the season ahead, I’d love to hear from you. What would you like to see? What would be helpful?

-Designing classes with a chance to slow down and dive deeper into the art of flowers
-Yoga or meditation among the flowers
-Gardening workshops (for example how to create a sensory garden)
-Pick your own flowers
-Creative/meditative activities for stress relief like flower crowns, pressed flowers, etc.

Let me know, I’m all ears!

Let’s be flower-hearted people, growing light and softness in a world that needs it. 🌼✨

Robbie takes a camera with him everywhere he goes and some days it drives me crazy. He’s always snapping photos when I least expect it or I’m trying to get stuff done. But I’m grateful he did because it captured a busy but beautiful year I’ll cherish. One that demanded a lot but taught us so much. The one we got to meet our daughter.

Getting back to blogging (maybe just wishful thinking with some down time?) and sharing a year in review for the business: https://www.nowadaysflowers.com/blog/2024-in-review

Swipe to the last photo here for the thesis. 😆🫠

Thank you for a wonderful year! We’re so grateful for our family, team, couples & customers, collaborators, fellow growers and vendors, this community, and of course Mother Nature. Wishing you a happy new year, full of flowers. We can’t wait to see what’s in store for 2025. 🎊✨

A few shots from our very last event of the season! Thanks to everyone who joined us for wreath making at to close out the year. 🎊 I’m always amazed at how unique and beautiful each creation is despite having the same materials to work with.

While it’s a teeny bit sad to wrap up workshops, I’m so ready for hibernation, reflection and restoration. We’ll be dreaming up some fun events for 2025, so let us know what you want to see! For now bring on all the cozy blankets, holiday movies, and hot chocolate. 🎄

11/30/2024

Holiday mode activated 🎄✨

We’re half way through a big decorating project and soon will be prepping for wreath workshops! This stretch can be tough after a crazy few months of events, fall planting/cleanup, and the big dahlia dig. But it’s also exciting when the holiday greens come out, they bring a new feeling and it’s such a fleeting time.

Something to put on your radar: our 2025 flower subscriptions go live on Monday. 💐Keep an eye out for more info to snag a spot or purchase a gift.

Whether you’re spending time with family, decorating, shopping, or eating leftovers with a lineup of holiday movies, I hope you’re enjoying the weekend in your favorite way.

Today and every day, thank you for supporting our small business in so many ways. ❤️ We have much to be grateful for, including a flower community we love, and work that allows us to observe and appreciate all the beauty nature gives us.

Wreath making season is upon us ya’ll.🕺🎄✨We’re heading to Wild Bevy Distilling on Sunday 12/8 for our final event of the season!

Tulips are officially planted (all 6000 of them!) and a tiny part of me has been crossing my fingers, holding my breath watching them go into the ground. After tulipgate 2024, planting them has been an act of hope. Well that, and moving them into raised beds for better drainage. 😅 Always learning and hoping around here, but it *should* be a beautiful spring. Looking back at some favorites from past years helps! We’ve got plenty of new-to-us varieties in store too.🌷

Finishing up our last wedding weekend (!) and feeling so grateful for our crew this season. 💘 They stepped up when our daughter arrived smack in the middle of our busy time, making sure everything was executed, all our wedding couples were happy, and nothing at the farm fell behind. Being able to check out, recover, and be fully present with Frankie those first couple weeks was the greatest gift!

Thanks to these all-stars who went above & beyond at the farm and in the studio: Caroline, Cian, Kelly, Emily, Lexie, Jillian, Ashley, Amy, Sally, Ashley, Emily, Sara, and our parents! (I wish I had more photos of everyone!). We’re so grateful for each of you. ❤️

The annual event is a week away on Tues 10/22 at ! This fun night is an opportunity to enjoy local food, good music, and lots of amazing prizes. But most importantly, to gather in support of the Soul Models mission: empowering girls in our community to become mindful, confident, creative and engaged leaders. The work being done to support mental health, stress-reduction, and positive self-esteem in middle schoolers is more important than ever, and we need help spreading the word! You’ll hear directly from some of the program participants on the night of the event about their experience and the impact it has had.

You’ll alsoooo have a chance to win a private flower truck party with Clover for up to 10 people 🎉🛻💐 (along lots of other exciting auction items!). Tickets are available at soulmodels.org, or message me and I’ll send you the link directly. Hope to see you there.

I began session 3 of my therapeutic horticulture certification this week! I just love this program and I learn something new every week (my flower friend @foxglovefarmhouse told me about it when we were chatting all things gardening awhile back). This semester is all about accommodating a range of abilities in programming, and how to make nature-based activities more adaptive and accessible for diverse populations. At every workshop (like this recent one with @homeremedystudio at @northcountryhardcider!) I’m reminded of the power that flowers, observing nature and creating something can hold for more presence, joy, compassion, and connection in our daily lives. Statistics show the many ways nature can lower stress and anxiety and increase overall happiness and well-being. That sounds pretty good to me. I have so many ideas for integrating this work into our mission here, and developing more programming to meet a variety of needs. It feels like this is just the beginning! 🌱 (Thanks to my social media savvy SIL Jen for creating this video, who has much more patience than I do for making reels. 😅)

Savoring the anemone while we have 'em. 😍 Next year I will definitely start these sooner so we have them for a longer stretch before heat. Always an experiment and more to learn around here!

Feeling extra festive after this weekend’s RyeNH400 historic home tour ✨

Just put our next North Country Hard Cider workshop up on the website (happening Sunday 11/19, 2-4 pm!) and felt like foraging for some fall goodies. It’s the best time of year for nature walks and bringing some beauty inside, if you ask me. We’re going to be making holiday centerpieces at this one, just in time for your Thanksgiving table. There will deeefinitely be lots of leaves, berries, dried & fresh flowers, and other fall finds. 🍂✨ Grab your spot here: https://www.nowadaysflowers.com/shop/p/holiday-centerpiece-north-country Pssst these usually sell out pretty fast! Come grab a cider and spend a creative afternoon with us. 🤎

Clover’s debut: whatta weekend! 🛻 After a 24-hour scramble, our girl was ready for her close up much sooner than we expected. We posted up at @stonefacebrewing on Saturday morning (after a wood plank holding up the canvas top cracked on the ride there 😳) completely unsure of what to expect, and ended up having a blast. We met lots of flower-loving folks, drank great beers, made a bunch of bouquets, and ended up with exactly two stems left. We are so excited that you’re excited! And we can’t wait for more truck pop-ups to come. We’ve got a few lined up for May and June and we’re now booking for the rest of the season. If you’d like a flower truck at your private event, public market or retail opening, let’s chat! 💐

Ok friends, flower subscriptions are here! 🥳 This is something I’ve been scheming up for awhile now and I’m really looking forward to trying it out over the next month. Here’s how it works: every Thursday from August 25th - September 15th (four consecutive weeks), you’ll get one of our hand-wrapped bouquets. You can choose to pick it up at one of our fave local stores, Avelon Home in Portsmouth, at our stand in Dover, or we’ll deliver within 20 miles. Since it’s our first trial run of a subscription program, I’m limiting the number of spots available and the cart will close on Wednesday. I’m not sure what to expect or how it will go 🤷‍♀️ but learning by doing is my favorite way to figure things out! What I know for sure is that there will be beautiful flowers for you every week, and there is nothing quite like a fresh bouquet to brighten up a room and infuse some peace and joy into your day. 💐 Grab your spot now here: https://www.nowadaysflowers.com/shop/subscriptions Building our website, putting this trial together and cutting flowers everyday has been so energizing, and I can’t wait to share more exciting things with you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for being here and supporting our dream! 💓
