Tour time of my home cutting garden. It’s approximately 30 x 20 ft all on raised beds or pots. What you might not have seen are the self seeded volunteers from the past couple years: bronze fennel and jewel of opar. I love those little surprises!
I’ll be putting together some garden bouquets tomorrow and have available for sale. So keep your eyes open for info when ready.
My community garden plot has suddenly exploded. So while I was there this morning to harvest, I figured I’d give you a tour. Soon I’ll do a shorter video tour of my other garden at home.
Garden plot is in and doing great guys. This is 1 of 2 gardens for all of the flowers I will cut for bouquets this summer. It’s a new venture for me but I am excited to see how it goes. Everything was started from seed in March and April (not the veggies though). Being a sustainable florist is super important to me and I strongly encourage the #slowflowermovement so what better way to do that but grow my own.
It’s not the prettiest garden. It’s been FULL of weeds and critters could be a problem but it’s beautiful soil and full sun. #nothingventurednothinggained
Going to try to post some regular updates on my cutting gardens this year with you all and what better time than at the very beginning. This space as my potager that started in 2020 as a COVID survival plan for my mental health. The first year was half veggies, half flowers. Last year was quarter veggies, three quarter flowers. This year it will be entirely flowers. 😁Then, in addition to that I rented 2 community garden plots with my oldest son! 😳 One will be entirely flowers, the other will be veggies for both of our households.
The plan is to make up Market Flower wrapped bouquets to sell over the summer and for any other floral work I pick up. Fingers crossed it all goes well. You will be able to purchase in 3 ways: as a subscription/CSA, via an honesty box flower stand certain days of the week at the end of my driveway, or by request. There may be a possibility of doing my local farmer’s market too.
So big doings going on at Hartwood. I am so excited!!
