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

01/01/2025

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. 🎄

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! A festive afternoon of creativity and cocktails is our favorite way to close out the year. Tickets are at the link below: grab a friend or come on your own to meet new friends (psst these went quick last year!). A percentage of sales will be used to purchase toys and other needed items for kids this holiday 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. ❤️

A few stunners from this weekend for Hannah & Melissa 🍁🍂💛

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.

Subscriptions are right on cue to brighten up this dreary day ☔️ reminder last week’s bouquets were rescheduled for today: Pickups are ready in Dover (Court Street) and Portsmouth () and deliveries are on the way!

Dahlias are cranking this week along with zinnias, celosia, and eucalyptus. Hope you enjoy and thanks for bearing with the scheduling juggling over the couple of weeks! 💐

Frances Anna joined us last week✨ we’ve been moving slowly and getting to know each other, using lots of soft blankets, and introducing her to all the flowers. We’ll call her Frankie and love her with everything we’ve got!

We’ve been growing something new this year 🌱 our little farm hand in training will be here any day now!

We are so lucky, we know this. And, we have a very full season, and throwing a kid into the mix at the height of our busiest time was not exactly the plan. 🙃

Slowing down can be hard for me, and the operational gymnastics to get the business prepared has been completely overwhelming at times. But in the wobbly moments, being among the flowers has grounded me, as they always do. There’s a metaphor here somewhere about letting go of control and embracing the season we’re in. 🌼 I’m also so grateful for our team who has stepped in to help, and figure out how to make it all happen together.

We’re excited to welcome this free labor... I mean kid... and watch the journey unfold! And my inbox is wide open for advice from other farmers, wedding industry profs and business owners who are somehow balancing these gigs? 😅

It’ll likely be a little quiet around here soon, as we settle into a new groove and the team focuses on making weddings and subscriptions happen. Online orders will soon be turned off for a bit, and email/inquiry replies will be a little delayed as we get our bearings. Thanks for your patience and understanding and know that we’ll be back at it as soon as we can, while savoring this time as much as possible. ❤️

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 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 at !) 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. 😅)

Meet Caroline! 🌼 She joined our team this season and has been a godsend on the farm, jumping into harvesting, transplanting, putting bouquets together and lots of things in between. You may have seen her delivering when your subscription too! She is such a joy to be around and we’re so grateful to have her help.

Caroline has experience working on other farms and in landscaping, and is also working through a permaculture design course. It’s tough for her to pick a favorite flowers (gal after my own heart), but she’s never met a dahlia she didn’t like. 🥰

Our story 💐

Thank you so much for your kind messages and mentions after listening to our interview on the !

We talk about flowers all day long here and why we love them, but haven’t really shared what led us to them in this much detail before.

We started growing flowers in 2020, when we were struggling to make sense of what was happening around us and in our personal lives. Gardening gave me purpose and peace through a very tough stretch (dahlias specially were my gateway flowers, swipe for my first little garden! Check out that extremely tidy, weed-free mulch job .😅They’re still my favorites).

We kept saying someday we’d love to have a flower farm, but put it off for a couple years. Until Robbie was in an accident that changed everything, and gave us the push we needed to stop sitting on this dream and go for it. We asked, why not now? And called it Nowadays.

It’s been a wild ride since then, and everyday we come back to why we started and our mission to spread joy, beauty and connection to the community through local flowers. 💛

Listen to the full story at the link in our bio, and huge thank you to for creating this platform and sharing the stories behind other local businesses in our community. I can’t wait to keep hearing more!

We haven't really ever shared our origin story in this detail before - it was an honor to sit down with Troy on the Seacoast Stories podcast and reflect on the steps that led us here! You can listen on Apple Podcast or on Spotify - let us know what you think. 🌷🌸🌼

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!
