✈️ When we traveled to California last week, we couldn’t help ourselves. Even on vacation, we had to go to the plant nursery and get our hands on the dirt. 🌿 My Dad loves roses and has a small cutting garden in PA, so he had to have a few for his place in CA too!

🌹 Did you know that most of the cut roses sold in the USA are grown in South America? 🌍 The favorable climate, with consistent warmth and high-altitude locations, creates the perfect conditions for these delicate blooms to thrive. Unfortunately, Pennsylvania's climate poses challenges for growing roses, specifically Japanese Beetles, Black Spot, and other fungal diseases. A lack of sunshine can sometimes be a problem as well. ☀️

The charm of roses remains timeless! We planted a few specialty roses this past season, and we’re interested in learning more about how we might get them to thrive so that we can include them in future specialty arrangements and wedding bouquets.🌹

Wondering what we’re up to in the late Fall/Winter months when our field is covered with snow? ❄️

Time doesn’t slow down for us, and our floral preservation projects are keeping us busy! Our method of preserving blooms not only captures their beauty, but also extends their lifespan, creating an everlasting snapshot from life’s most memorable moments. 📸💖

From the drying process, to arranging and casting into molds, it certainly is a complex and time consuming task, but the end result is so worth it! 😍

Your enthusiasm for our blooms has made this season truly special. Wishing you a joyous Thanksgiving filled with the warmth of family, friends, and the beauty of nature. 🍂

After all of the hard work we put into the farm, especially in the last few weeks, we’ve been able to relax and enjoy a vacation. However, I can’t seem to keep my hands off of flowers no matter where we are, finding this cute bunch at the La Quinta Farmers Market. It was awesome meeting another grower, Blossom in Indio, CA, whose season is so different from ours. 💐☀️

11/17/2023

Over 1,400 Dahlia tubers split and stored away for the winter - it has truly been a grind. 💪

For those not familiar with Dahlias, one plant can produce multiple tubers that can then be individually planted themselves to produce their own tubers, repeating the process indefinitely. 🪷

The process includes digging, washing, splitting, and storing - then it’s plant, rinse, and repeat each season. Storing can be tricky, so we’re experimenting with multiple methods for the best results. For now, they can rest until Spring gets here. 😴

11/15/2023

Imagine having the ability to experience some of the most beautiful blooms that our region has to offer across one or multiple seasons, fresh from a flower farm directly to you. That is exactly what our CSA program provides! 💐🌺

We will be offering an additional pick-up location for the 2024 season to make it even more convenient for you to experience an ongoing subscription to our flowers. 😊

Our store will go live on Small Business Saturday, however, there is still time for you to sign up and receive early access to shop beforehand. All you have to do is join our mailing list by visiting our website (www.bellasblooms.com) or sending us a DM with your e-mail address!

Over 3,000 tulip bulbs are in the ground - we’ll see them bloom in the Spring!🌷

11/06/2023

This weekend we started our favorite activity of the year (not really): digging up our Dahlia plants and splitting tubers. 🌸

We start by taking a pitchfork and gently breaking up the soil around the dahlia roots. The key is to go slow and careful to not pierce the tuber clump. Once the soil is loosened, we pull the tuber clump out of the ground methodically. The surprise of what's hidden below is the best part. Did you know that dahlia tubers multiply underground throughout the season? 💐

After getting them out of the ground, we shake off as much dirt as we can, wash the rest off, and let them chill out and dry. Getting off as much dirt as possible is key for smooth splitting, which we do by first cutting a big clump using a multi-tool, and getting more precise with snips. 🫚

Last but not least, we prep them for storage through the winter before we can plant them in the Spring. The key here is to store them somewhere cool and dark, doing our best to ensure that they don’t dry out. However, too cold and they will freeze then turn to mush later, so it’s truly an experiment on what works best for us. 🌱

This is one of the most time consuming activities that we take part in all year, but it’s all worth it for us to be able to plant more of these beautiful flowers that are one of our favorites! 🌺

11/03/2023

Are you interested in early access to our 2024 CSA, being the first to know when our sale goes live? Maybe an occasional newsletter from us to keep up with what we have going on at the farm? If you haven’t done so already, sign up to get added to our mailing list by visiting our website (www.bellasblooms.com) or sending us a DM - all we need is your e-mail address!

Not sure what a CSA is? Community Supported Agriculture works similarly to a typical subscription, providing subscribers with a regular supply of fresh bouquets throughout our active seasons from Spring through Fall, with multiple plans to choose from. 💐

By buying a share of a farm up-front, you're supporting your local flower farmer, and giving yourself or someone you know an opportunity to enjoy fresh flowers on an ongoing basis! 🌸

Frostmas has arrived but not in the way we normally expect. A first frost on a flower farm takes plants from flowering to collapse overnight. It really is a sight to behold, usually with awesome opportunities for photographing blooms with a delicate frost on their petals. 📷 🌺

Not this year. We harvested a full bucket last night and today our field is fully engulfed in snow. A few blooms peaked through the blanket enough to show color, but in a few hours it will all fade. We will have to wait several months to see color in the field again. ❄️ 💐

However, this year I have an appreciation for the change in season that I’ve not had before. I’m always cold and for that reason I tend to dislike winter. Looking outside this morning at the snow and the sky, I was really able to appreciate the beauty. I’m grateful for all nature provides, even the snowy winter. ❄️

“When the seasons shift, even the subtle beginning, the scent of a promised change, I feel something stir inside me. Hopefulness? Gratitude? Openness? Whatever it is, it's welcome.” - Kristin Armstrong

Our fundraiser for Erie Animal Network has raised more than the goal we set, all thanks to you who donated! All proceeds will go to benefit those animals that could really use it. Thank you for helping us honor Pearl in this way. 🐈🐕

As our first frost on the farm approaches us for real this time, we look forward to sharing with you some news and developments that we’re excited for!

10/25/2023

We want to share with deep sadness that our little girl Pearl crossed the rainbow bridge over the weekend. 🌈

She was the inspiration behind our “Pearl” jar arrangement that is one of our crowd favorites, just as she was. 🐱

Pearl brought so much joy and happiness into our lives over the past 4 years, and we plan to do something special in her memory. Please stay tuned for an announcement this Friday on what that is! 💐🐈

It’s time for us to shift gears and jump into cutting down our crops, digging up our Dahlia tubers, and prepare for next season. 💪

We also have some projects underway already, and some exciting plans that we can’t wait to share with you soon!

It’s almost over! 😢

🌼🎉 Happy 18th birthday to our beloved Bella! 🐱🎂

She has been blooming beautifully for 18 years now, and we couldn't be more grateful. Despite her thyroid disease diagnosis over 8 years ago, she still thrives on outdoor walks, indulges in her favorite wet food, and cherishes snuggles. 🐈💐

Managing health issues with our furry friends can often be an exhausting task, and our hearts go out to those that experience it daily.

Here's to many more days of love and happiness with our precious fur queen! 🥳🐾

10/02/2023

This past weekend, Bella’s Blooms teamed up with the amazing Girard High Cheer team for an incredibly fun fundraiser! We provided hundreds of beautiful stems, including dahlias, lisianthus, fragrant eucalyptus, and more, giving participants the freedom to craft their dream bouquets. 🌿💐

We're continually amazed by the creativity and diversity of the bouquets our community creates. Sharing the natural beauty of our farm with all of you brings us immense joy. Thank you for being a part of this wonderful adventure! 🌻💕
