I’ve started pulling down the dried bunches from the rafters and am beginning to make dried bouquets! I’ll have them (as well as some fresh cut flowers still!) at this upcoming Sunday 8/6 from 11-3. Only three more Farmers Markets left to the season folks! 8/6, 8/13 & 8/20. Dried flowers are shippable. I’m taking pre-orders for crowns and hairpieces this year if you are looking for one for Fall/ Halloween/ the holiday seasons, please reach out early!

Landmark occasions, doin’ it right!! 25 Peonikiss Roses for their 25th anniversary, dressed up in Lucia Rising style & delivered prior to their arrival at their quaint Yurt Airbnb getaway. Yes, please.

Fall seems to have come in on the breeze! The days are getting shorter and cooler but the Dahlias are still dancing away. I wholeheartedly welcome these rich violet, red, orange and bronze colors.

So begins the wondering when our first hard frost will be! With the date at September 30th this year, it could be only a week or maybe two more of fresh flowers before I transition to dried flowers at market.

Theres only a few summer markets left 🍁

Come by and enjoy the bounty of our local harvests! We have fresh seasonal produce, pasture raised meats and eggs, raw milk, award winning cheeses, locally roasted coffee, gourmet bread, hot lunch, cold drinks, gorgeous crafts and GLORIOUS flowers. The market won’t last forever so come down today!

MAJOR 2025 SEASON ANNOUNCEMENT!! After much time, thought and consideration throughout the course of this year, I’ve made the nuanced decision to take a step back from the farming aspect of flowers in 2025. At this time Lucia Rising Flowers will continue operating as a boutique florist, pivoting to focusing on designing for custom projects and larger events using sourced flowers, YEAR ROUND, buying and supporting locally grown wherever possible. This also means that CSA shares will not be offered in 2025. This has not been an easy decision to come to but one that ultimately serves myself and the business best in the coming season and short to mid-term. It’s undetermined at this time if I will grow on a commercial scale again but it’s not off the table forever. I am immensely proud of what I have accomplished in a short period of time agriculturally and to have been supported by the community in doing so. Working incredibly hard day in and day out with hand tools and the soil to produce beauty has often been immensely meaningful and life affirming, but requires a level of complete sacrifice and constant stress that at this time I recognize I need a pause from. I’m incredibly excited about developing the design and creative floral artistry aspect of Lucia Rising and I look forward to really diving into your future floral needs and ideas with a unique, compassionate hand. And while the days to this current growing season are numbered, there is still time this year to acquire a thoughtful bouquet grown by yours truly. In Gratitude, Lindsay.

Lexi & Nick’s 9.7.24 Wedding at The Colonel Williams Inn post # 2, the personal flowers!! Slide one was Lexi’s dramatic Bridal bouquet (obsessed- I’d want this one for myself!) followed by several of the 6 similar but still unique coordinated bridesmaid’s and mother’s bouquets, and lastly one of the 7 boutonnières. All the pieces radiated happiness. What a slammer to finish out the busy season of Summer!

Part one of two from this bright and light wedding last weekend at The Colonel Williams Inn! I had so much fun with this install between these huge coral roses, show stopping blush Lisianthus and all the spires of sparkly peachy celosia, larkspur and delphinium! I’m super psyched with how it came out. Thank you for the artist’s license and trust, Lexi! I’m so glad the rain held out long enough to hold the ceremony outside as planned.

It’s true that small bunches of flowers and jar arrangements have been available daily roadside! It’s also true that as the days and nights get cooler and the flower production slows down, the original ladder stand won’t be out for too much longer. You can still order bouquets and arrangements through me or find me at the Putney Farmer’s Market on Sundays, but get these grab and go flowers while you can! :) $10/ each, Cash or Venmo, 1503 US Route 5 Putney VT.

The field is really churning out an incredible abundance of flowers lately. I cannot complain at all about the growing conditions we have had this year- not having to panic about irrigation very often has offered a nice assist. It feels like I’m rounding a critical corner of the season. Today is the last day of the Summer/ Full Season CSA, but there’s plenty more time to the market season .

DAHLIAS: They’re coming!! Get excited.

Sparkling Peachy-Corals are by far the hot floral color of the year and I am HERE for it.

Bridal Bouquet and Boutonnière from today’s a-la-carte wedding. A different color scheme than I usually lean towards but it’s growing on me! The piece of Ivy was contributed from the Mother of the Groom. Her mother made a cutting from a piece of her bridal bouquet when she got married, that grew into the plant she took this cutting from for her future daughter in law! And she’s planning on rooting this piece after the wedding. A sweet floral tradition. 🌱

A couple of first cuttings today of two things that I love- Sweet Annie and Pink Gomphrena. Sweet Annie is one of the few garden grown annuals that has a strong scent! I never know how to describe it…herby? Maybe a bit like fennel? A lovely green and bouquet filler that will do double duty as it shifts in color as the little pods mature.

08/23/2024

Gonna be a gorgeous market this Sunday!

08/21/2024

I’m dismissing these cooler days and nights lately…I’m not ready! According to my calendar and that of the flowers, right NOW is the HEIGHT of Summer! Find this palette at the this weekend and get these soft peachy beauties while you still can!

I’m so psyched that I went Celosia crazy this year, these colors and the way some of these newer varieties literally SPARKLE is out of this world. I would love to make an all Celosia bridal bouquet- consider the challenge thrown!

Staying patient and not cutting them until they’ve plumed up even more and set out more floofy shoots is so hard! But so worth it. And there are even more varieties coming along behind. Woot woot.
