CLOSED
The shop is closed again today, December 1, 2024, as it just won't stop snowing, and today it is cold!!
Bonnie is living her best life and refuses to come in, and when she does, she brings in massive snow balls that get stuck to her fur.
Please stay warm and safe, and if you're traveling to the bills game tonight, be careful.

CLOSED TODAY NOVEMBER 30TH.
Happy Small Business Saturday, everyone. For the first time in 10 years, I am closed, hunkering down inside with the family and all the animals. We currently have several feet of snow with no signs of it stopping. I'm hoping tomorrow is a different story, and the snow band shifts a bit so we can wreath it up and be jolly.
Please stay safe, everyone, and if you aren't snowed in...go support all the amazing small businesses that are open today.

Wreath Classes are back, and this year, I'm excited to switch it up again... a little more class and a lot less of navigating Ben's garage, iykyk :)

Also, I have wreath orders up for pre orders because it's still 6 warm to cut our trees, but I will be starting these next week because, well, I love wreath season!

Wild Blossom Hollow officially turned 10, and what an incredible journey it has been. What started out as a hobby turned to a passion, then a thriving business, then my identity, and now a solid mixture of all.
You've all been there through this magical ride with me as I navigate the worlds or growing and designing flowers. From the beginning days of growing on the hillside in Cherry Creek, where the soil was magical, and the snow didn't melt until May. Where the kitchen table was my work space and 3 little kids were involved in every meeting, sometimes munching on goldfish and showing up in batman underwear. A barn was built, and Holiday in the Hollow was born - I think I need to bring her back!
2016, we built our home and moved our family and farm back to my family's original farmstead in Forestville. Here, I learned that clay soil is the worst and how to truly find passion in growing flowers. A little basement office/ workshop space was created where the first wreath classes were held ( I still can't believe you all were so excited to wreath with me in my basement, lol). At some point, a little shed was purchased, and Sunday flowers became a thing. Then up came tunnels, roses, and then in 2019, the shop was built. Then COVID came, and things stood still for a bit, but WBH was still here, I was still here growing, creating, writing, and questioning myself.
Through the years, I've been trusted to design over 300 incredible weddings for the most wonderful couples who I still adore and am grateful for to this day. I studied growing in Philly, Canada, and locally from so many incredible growers. I've studied design in England, Belgium, and have had the opportunities to work alongside some of the best in the industry. I've done events for local businesses, sports teams, musicians, designers, schools, friends, and families. I've learned to give myself grace while also being true to my own creativity, especially these days when I start to feel older and my body starts to tire faster in the fields and my mind still doesn't comprehend what's cool on the world wide web.
Now, as my business turns 10, I finally see what you've all seen all along. Thank you for the love.

SHOP UPDATE -
CLOSED Saturday, but pay n takes will be out with the last of the dahlias.
OPEN Sunday from 10 to 4. I'll have whatever flowers are left in the fields, tulip bulbs and peony tubers.
Then I'll be closed until November 9th so I can put the fields to bed, plant 10k tulips, prep the shop for the holidays and get wreath season started!!!

September, I honestly don't know where it went.
Every week was filled with football, bowling, volleyball, driving lessons, and a couple crazy late night games of Risk. Every Monday, I went and spent the day with Katie & Kaitlyn , where I got to harvest soooo many flowers while gabbing and laughing away. Then, during the week, I was here designing with Sarah .kin and Chelsea snacking on while creating so many magical weddings that I was fortunate to design.
.
Here at WBH, the fields have slowly started to settle in for the winter, and honestly, I'm so happy to put them to rest and to let my body and mind get excited for the next year. Hopefully, one with less grab grass, more flowers, and fewer hives breaking out on my face.
Also, I turned 40 on the 19th, and I'm still not sure how I feel about it. I love growing older, but there's something about 40 that has me looking inward more than any other age. I'm just here, saying weird things, forgetting to text people back for days, taking some naps, putting alien wallpaper up in my kitchen, and having coffee with my cats in the morning.

Sunday Update.

Shop - I'll be in the shop until 1pm today, but flowers will be outside for pay n take - I just harvested some amazing dahlias and rudbeckia, so they are very fall. I just want to thank you all again for your understanding while I try to navigate the month of September... I truly appreciate your support and love, I couldn't be doing any of this without it.

Flowers - Dahlias are starting to take off as the nights are getting cooler, and they are in all their glory...doesn't hurt that the weeds have slowed down as well! The roses are also still kicking it, but they are starting to slow down and get ready to sleep for a bit, but they are still so beautiful. With that being said, I'm going to host 2 different little farm events in October. Nothing too crazy, just a relaxing morning or evening in the flowers harvesting, creating, drinking hot drinks, and eating some good sweets from .

Christy - Me, well, I turn 40 in a couple of weeks. My baby just turned 13, and I honestly have no idea how to feel about it all. I feel like I'm 28, but my body, mind, and my geriatric melennial ways say otherwise.

08/31/2024

CLOSED - the shop is closed this weekend for the holiday, but there will be dahlia bunches out until they sell out!

Have a great weekend everyone.

Creeping into my favorite time of year where the cherry tomatoes are bursting, dahlias are starting to bloom, and the foraged finds are a lot less fresh and much more dried and dead.
.
It took me years to finally grow useful phlox..she was totally worth it!

I had a moment last week where I was like 2.5 seconds away from mowing over the all of the flowers, so I took a deep breath, lifted the deck of my Bad Boy and mowed over all of the peonies! Every single peony looked like death and smelling like my great grandmother's attic. I felt better, but I still was feeling like maybe I shouldn't have planted so many gardens, put up 3 tunnels, and told myself I was a better grower than I probably am.

But then I realized that it's probably just from the dreaded August burnout, so I made myself a cold brew with cold foam, put a bandaid on my heal blisters, and got back to pulling weeds. These said weeds are in my stone pathways as well as intermingling through all the gardens and some are touching the roof of tunnel #1. I also did this all while humming the tune of some random Evanescene song that I don't know how got into my head.

The gardens, tunnels, and fields don't look anything like I want them to, but also, I'm okay with that because I'm almost 40 and I can't be worrying about weeds....my back hurts too much for that. Lol

17 years with my best friend - for real, this man has been my friend since we were 5 years old.
*
One of my first childhood memories is watching him and his friend Chad ride little wooden scooters across the room during playtime in kindergarten. I was people watching from my classroom across the hall where the boys were ramming our little scooter into the wall, so I was pouting by the door because I wanted to ride the scooter.
*
He's always been there. He's always been kind, whitty, intelligent, and somehow has been able to handle my annoying ways for 35 years. Our first official date was to see the movie You, Me and Dupree where he sported his blue bandana, DC sneakers and I'm pretty sure had some sort of thin handle bar beard going on. I just remember feeling loved instantly and have felt that way ever since, even through some of the hardest times.

Some fun and weird bouquets for this beautiful Sunday!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.
I'll be here in the shop until 4pm today.

How these didiscus love to grow in my tunnel while everything else looks like it's fighting to just stay alive, I have no idea.
* Honestly, the tunnels have been a struggle for me this year since we had to rebuild after the wind storm this winter. The over wintered snaps, delphinium, and foxglove were killed by a winter storm, but the grass see had no issue surviving! Lol
* Thank you, , for these kickass plugs once again!
