Take a moment to take a deep breath and enjoy this little slice of relaxation from the flower farm... birds singing, bees pollinating, and if you really listen you can hear my son point out a butterfly 🥹.
I hope you have a beautiful day!

Do you know what a plant's "native range" refers to? All plants have a specific area of the world they are native to, but over time, many plants have migrated due human actions like colonization. We should all strive to plant as many native plants as we can, as these benefit our native ecosystem the most.
Our Wildflower Workshop on Tuesday, August 29th will focus on six different varieties of North American native wildflowers. We will talk about the history and meaning behind each flower and then learn bouquet-building skills to make your own fresh flower bouquet to take home.
I'm so excited to share my passion for flowers, especially native flowers, with you all next week! Don't forget to register on the @findyourflow_gso website!! 🌻💚

Harvest with me on a peaceful Wednesday evening. I filled up a bucket FULL of blooms today! There was a time when I felt like I'd never have enough flowers that I grew to even fill up one bucket and tonight I really could have used a second bucket 🥹
Picking up some extras from @findstemz tomorrow to add to this harvest for the grab & go bouquets at @thrivecoffeecogso this weekend! 😍😍😍

Going back in time through the month of July and ...WOW! Everyone told me to expect July to be slow but oh my goodness 😅 I feel like I just got done running a marathon this month! I had the absolute privilege of hosting 4 pop-up bouquet bars, flowering a wedding, and creating bouquets for several special orders. I was finally able to harvest my own flowers that I grew toward the middle of the month and that has been such an amazing feeling.
I want to say thank you to all the small businesses who I had the opportunity to work with in July...

And to everyone supporting me and following along, stay tuned because I have so much more planned for the rest of the year!!

I moved the Coco Gold Marigolds.... in the heat of the day.... at the end of June. 🫣 They were just not doing anything where they were planted and I had space in the wall where the zinnias never came up (#iykyk) so I decided it was now or never and I dug them all up and moved them! So far they seem to be loving their new homes! This video is from about 10 days ago.
Send some healthy, fast-growing vibes to these plants! ✨✨✨

One of the first summer flowers to start blooming.... statice! This has been one of my favorites since the seedling stage and I'm loving the colors of these blooms! So unique and beautiful!! Statice blooms feel dry to the touch and because of that they make a beautiful dried flower when they're done in the vase! 💕

🌸💕 HOW TO GET THE BEST VASE LIFE 💕🌸
When you're buying fresh flowers, the last thing you want is for your flowers to wilt and die just a day or two after you bring them home. I choose the flower varieties I do based on lots of factors, but vase life is one of the #1 things I look for. I don't grow anything that doesn't get at least 5 days of vase life, but most of the things I grow can have 7-10 days of vase life!
To get a week or more out of your flowers, you have to take care of them properly. This video gives you a good intro to extending vase life. For more detailed information, visit adornedflowerfarm.com/vaselife 🌿🌸

A fun recap of my first round of direct seeding at the flower farm the other day 💕 I was able to start lots of exciting varieties:
🌸Apricotta Cosmos
🌸Afternoon White Cosmos
🌸Mrs. Burns Lemon Basil
🌸Persian Cress
🌸Benary's Giant Lime Zinnia
🌸Benary's Giant Bright Pink Zinnia
🌸Queeny Lime Red Zinnia
Tell me in the comments which variety you're most excited to see blooming! I think for me it's a tie between the bright pink zinnia and the apricotta cosmos 😍

I wanted to share the whole process for how I'm preparing my flower beds!
1. Cover grass with wet cardboard (remove any stickers and plastic tape). This will kill the grass and decompose, which will attract earthworms, who will leave behind their 💩 which is a great fertilizer.
2. Cover the cardboard with a few inches of compost. I'm using mushroom compost 🍄.
3. Top with some mulch to hold water and as more weed protection.
After 4-5 weeks, the cardboard will be totally broken down and the bed is ready to plant!
