Nowadays Flowers

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

11/24/2023

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving, friends! I’ll make this to-the-point, as I’m sure it’s among an onslaught of Black Friday posts. But if you’ve got gifting on the mind, know that our 2024 bouquet subscriptions are now on sale! 💐 (That very much includes self-gifting in my book. 🙂) You can shop all the options here, available for a limited time through December 24th: https://www.nowadaysflowers.com/shop/subscriptions

We’re keeping the price the same for now and then we’ll reevaluate it next year before opening spots back up, when we determine how much our expenses go up (things like seeds, growing supplies, new greenhouse materials, water, our land lease, etc). These subscriptions make it possible for us to stay afloat through winter, and also help us plan for the farm in terms of what we’ll grow and how much. All that to say: your support means so much to us. When you shop from small businesses like ours, you’re truly supporting a dream, and in return we pour our hearts (and sweat equity!) into growing the most beautiful flowers possible for you. ❤️

Get all the info and pickup/delivery details for subs on our website: https://www.nowadaysflowers.com/shop/subscriptions and let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers to the start of a beautiful, joyful holiday season! ✨

Mark your calendar, friends! Our 2024 summer bouquet subscriptions go on sale for a limited time this Friday 11/24. 💐

This is earlier than usual for us, but many of you have asked if they’ll be available for holiday gifting and I can’t think of a better gift than the promise of fresh flowers! 🎁

We’re keeping the price of subscriptions the same for now. Think of it as an early bird sale, as they’ll likely go up next year. These bouquets are a labor of love!

We’re already so psyched for 2024, and before we know it we’ll be planning the farm, ordering the rest of our stock, and starting lots of seeds in the basement. We’d be so honored to share our flowers with you next season, and a bi-weekly bouquet subscription is one of the best ways to enjoy them in your home or office all summer long!

Stay tuned for more info, and hop on our email list at the link in our bio if you want to be among the first to snag a spot. 🥳

That’s a wrap on our 2023 season! Aside from a few holiday happenings (details coming this week), the farm is just about ready for a winter nap and so are we. 😅

Before that, we’ll be finishing the bulb planting, digging dahlias, cleaning everything, and catching up on wedding designs for 2024.

Speaking of which, our books are more than half full for next year. So if you’ve been thinking about reaching out about your wedding flowers, now’s a good time!

I say it often and I’ll say it again, THANK YOU so much for being part of our flower fam and supporting this little farm. We’re so grateful for an awesome season and we’re already dreaming into the next one. ✨🙏💛

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. 🤍

It’s a cause close to my heart, and a thread that runs through so much of what we do here.

I started planting flowers when I was feeling pretty wobbly, following a tiny voice inside that said this might help.

Flowers, connecting with nature, and appreciating all the beauty in our world, even when things feel heavy, can play a role in healing (along with things like therapy, and medication, and systemic change). And if I get them into everyone’s hands I would.

What I can do, is use this little business for a bit of good. Starting this month, a percentage of our revenue will go toward supporting mental health efforts and doing crucial, needed work in our community.

Together, with the flowers, we can make a difference. 💐

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 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! 💐

SURPRISE 💐 we’ve got blooms, and Clover the flower truck is coming out of storage for a pop up TOMORROW at Stoneface Brewing Co. Green Daze 11-3! Come have a beer with us, make your own bouquet, and celebrate Earth Day with some awesome other vendors. This has been a wild 24-ish hours getting the truck ready for her close up earlier than we expected, but when we talked to the crew at Stoneface about this chance we had to jump in. We’d love to see you tomorrow for what is turning out to be our flower season opener! 😅🍻💚

Flower lovers: come hang with me, , , and the TULIPS! Saturday 5/13 at Vine 32 Wine + Graze Bar. 🌷🎨🍷

Here's what I know for sure: spending time with flowers, in any capacity, is good for the soul. Carving out a little space for creativity and connection, even just tiny doses, can bring so much joy and peace into our lives. ✨

In this workshop we'll talk about tulips (there are so many cool varieties beyond what you see at the grocery store!), we'll make a beautiful arrangement, and we'll do some watercolor painting.

All material are included and no experience is necessary. Bring yourself, your Mom (a great Mother's Day gift perhaps?), or a friend. Get tickets here!

We had a great time checking out the very cool, soon to be open Tideline Public House in Durham on Friday! Stay tuned for flower truck pop ups. 🥳

We had a great time meeting with Bridget + Robbie of yesterday! It has been so much fun connecting with other entrepreneurs and hearing about their business dreams and seeing how we can collaborate. Nowadays is out of Dover and offers locally grown flowers. You can sign up for a weekly flower subscription, or rent their 1970 VW named "Clover" for an event to let guests create their own bouquet! Too cute! We hope to have Clover here at Tideline a few times this summer!

I love this picture that Robbie took early one morning last season, because to me it encompasses so much of our 'why' at Nowadays. I've been reflecting a lot on this as we enter our second season and how we're approaching it.

A couple years ago I was going through a rough patch, and felt pretty lost. My mental health was wobbly, and I knew things had to change, but I wasn’t sure what to do. So I started going to therapy every other week, and planting flowers in our yard.

What began as a creative outlet, a way for both of us to get off our computers during the pandemic, turned into so much more. We weren't expecting it. But in hindsight - cheesy as it sounds - I think maybe something in us knew all along.

It’s not an overstatement to say that flowers changed my life. I felt connected and grounded every time I sowed seeds or planted something new. I felt more at peace and noticed less anxiety after an afternoon of wandering around the rows, noticing new buds and appreciating all the beauty. And I felt more creative and a sense of contentment as I cut blooming flowers and delivered them to happy recipients.

There is a metaphor somewhere here, about growing and blooming, trusting and being patient. Magic can happen when you least expect it, if you let it.

And as I think about our ‘why’ it comes down to this magic, and making the world a better, more beautiful place. Flowers can spread light into dark crevices, and remind people that we love them. They help us tune into the present moment, infuse meaning, and appreciate simple joys throughout an otherwise mundane day. They can foster a connection with ourselves, and deepen our connection with nature.

Going after this dream and letting a space that we held in our minds for ‘someday down the line’ unfold, has given me a renewed sense of purpose and hope. Flowers have been healing for me, and I know they can do the same for others. This is the intention and energy that we're bringing into the season, and I can't wait to get back to it. ✨

Meet the newest Nowadays team member: Clover the flower truck!

We brought her home a few months ago with a vision for pop up markets, events, retail partnerships, and other fun ways to bring more local blooms to the community.

We’ll be building out the bed for a jazzier display and will take you behind the scenes the whole time, but I wanted to give you an idea of where we’re starting and the potential for now.

How fun would a bouquet bar be for bridal showers, birthday parties or store openings? So many possibilities!

There’s a new page on our website with more info and a place to book Clover for 2023. You can find that link in our bio, or feel free to message us anytime.

We’ll definitely be looking for more farms to partner with as well (this bed isn’t gonna fill itself!) so if you’re a local flower grower we’d love to connect.

We can’t wait to hit the road with this ole gal and see what kind of adventures are in store! 🛻💐✨

11/24/2022

It’s been a little quiet around here lately, we’ve had a wild few weeks. Just coming up for air to wish you a happy holiday and say thanks for all the well wishes and kind words. It means so much! 🤍 We’ll be taking it easy the next few days and trying to soak in the holiday spirit, with a couple custom orders in between.

Photo by the amazing , from our 11/5 wedding, which feels like 100 years ago now. Looking forward to sharing more behind the scenes of flowering our day and how it all went!

Just dropped the last of the subscriptions. 💐 That month whizzed by! I learned so much, and am excited to keep refining our offers, making them better and better. A giant thank you to our subscribers for this first round, your support means the world! 🫶

If you would be interested in a subscription for next season, I’d love to hear any ideas or thoughts about frequency (I may add biweekly or monthly options next time vs only weekly?), delivery/pick up options, flower varieties, etc. Send me a DM with feedback, I’m all ears!

What’s next? We’re still doing custom orders and seasonal wraps and arrangements until the first frost (link’s in our bio to order online or DM me anytime). I’m also thinking about doing some dried flowers and wreathes for fall and the holidays. Oh, and our wedding flowers. 😅

We’ll be planting hardy annuals and bulbs for Spring, and digging up dahlia tubers. Annnnd we have one more big thing coming that I’m excited to share when it’s finally ready. 🤩

Dropped a few extra bouqs at in Portsmouth today so pop over to grab one if you want some weekend blooms! I will likely have enough flowers to put the stand out this weekend too. Keep you posted. 🙂

09/13/2022

This week feels like a transition marker. It’s our last week of subscriptions, fall cleanup begins, and a handful of hardy annuals will get planted. I’ll miss my morning garden checks when we truly wind down, but am definitely ready for a breather too. 😅 Until then, the dahlias are still showing off. ✨
