Open 24/7 for air conditioned DIY flower shopping! 💕

This photo illustrates my favorite type of design palette, which has a calming effect on the room it is placed.
Green and white together are soothing. 💕

Listen, y’all.
I know everyone has a different flower style.
My style is and has always been low key.
I’d rather see a vase full of the same color/variety, than a mixed vase of flower selections.
Both are beautiful, but one is calming and one is stimulating.
When I place vases around my own home, my style of arranging brings about a flow that I like. A single bloom. In multiples. Love it. 💕
For the kitchen, a busy room, that’s where I love a loud, mixed vase of blooms.
It fits better with the energy of the room.

I told you all of that, to tell you this…

Our Flower Vardo is set up this season to sell in bunches and by the stem.
Don’t be afraid to create an entire aesthetic around your home with the simplicity of one color/variety of flower.
It’s quick, easy, affordable, and low key calming.
Anyone can look like a pro by using my simple design style.

Our prices for you are the same price that our designers and commercial customers pay.
Affordable luxury. Fresh cut. Dreamy.

I am growing for designers, local establishments, and y’all that love to DIY.
Brides love our flowers.
They love stepping into our Flower Vardo and picking up a few extra stems, just in case! 💕

I also grow to give, which is one of the reasons why I planted our flowers.

Be on the lookout for CUPS OF JOY from our Giving Gardens in the Flower Vardo.
I’ll need our customers to help distribute these into our area (Hayesville and Hiawassee). Make a purchase, take a cup to share with someone who needs JOY! 💕

If you have questions about our Giving Garden Flowers, our Flower Vardo, or about placing a custom cut flower order, message me.

Thank you for buying local flowers! 💕💐

Meet Naomi. She’s a new girl for us this year.
Her burgundy tones are brighter in sunshine than indoors in a vase. 💕

Still time to plant a Cafe Au Lait Dahlia!
I have about a dozen left. 💕💕💕

Cafe au Lait is a very old dahlia variety, dating back to the 60's. It is known to be quite beautiful in both its color and its shape. Make sure your dahlia plant receives abundant nutrition and moisture after planting. They will need more care than dahlia grown from tubers, as they are still babies...

I won’t be set up this afternoon at the farmers market in Hayesville.
Too much to do around here today!
The Flower Vardo is open and I’ll add more cuts each day as I get more blooms.
Everything will be set up DIY style by the stem.

The lavender stems sold out quickly yesterday. I have hundreds of lavender stems and I’m trying to keep up with stocking them.
After you use them fresh, remember to hang them upside down and allow them to dry out for a fragrant element in your home!

This is the native plant that I’ve been stepping on! Of course you won’t find very much about its culinary attributes or medicinal qualities from write ups here in the USA.
Are there synthetic prescription medications formulated to do what this plant does? Yes.
Research it and tell me what you think!

Water Pennywort is a small creeping native plant that typically grows in moist areas such as bogs, seeps, boggy fields, wet woods, and lake margins. It is found in eastern North America from Canada to SC and in NC it is found in the western Appalachian mountains. The plant spreads by stolons tha...

Are you trampling on your blessings?
I discovered a NATIVE WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA plant that is highly coveted in Japan and India.
It is food.
It is medicine.
It is also grown for its beauty.
I was walking all over it!
Trampling on it.
Not anymore!
What is the plant?
I will share it with you tomorrow.
For you Master Gardeners and plant lovers, here is a hint: it’s a perennial and thrives in moist conditions. ❤️

God gave us these plants to heal us by eating them for food and medicine.
He gave them to us to enjoy.
We’ve lost our way in modern times and we should relearn the old ways. 🌱

We are so blessed to live in such a rich place!

We gifted over 500 floral arrangements from our giving gardens in 2023!

Yaaaaaaay! Thank you to those who helped make this a reality!

We are taking a look, adding up the number of flowers that we donated this year from our Giving Gardens.
To nursing homes, to the sick, to the lonely.
All of these recipients have this in common: they are a piece of the puzzle.
You are helping make a difference in that same big puzzle by giving our flowers out to those who need them.
Our central focus when we started our first seeds, was giving.
Your purchase of flowers, bulbs, roots, herb starts, and tubers help make it all happen.
Thank you for your generous vessel donations! Such a wonderful blessing are our customers.
How could this generosity flow without our volunteers and helpers?
It would be impossible to keep flowers flowing every week into our local nursing homes without them.
They plant, w**d, harvest, arrange, and deliver little flower cups of joy!
Each step is important and farming is hard, tough work, no matter the crop.
Our flowers, grown with love, are at the mercy of the elements.
It was a strange weather year and some of our crops suffered. Some thrived.
All in all, it was a great 2nd year!
We have so much to look forward to in 2024!
