We have a running joke in my family that I am invisible…people just don’t seem to notice I’m there. Maybe it’s because I’m most comfortable being surrounded by flowers and furry creatures rather than in social settings.

When I found Floret 6 years ago, as I was trying to learn to grow cut flowers, something just resonated with me. Erin’s approach, thoughtfulness, transparency, and realness helped me gather the courage to build my flower farm dream. Slowly but surely, with lots of reading and watching Erin’s books and films, I learned to grow flowers and nurture the earth while at the same time learning to put myself out there and grow a business.

This summer I got the chance of a lifetime to go meet my hero in real life and all of the wonderful people at Floret. It was a day that is hard to describe other than magical. Not only did I get to connect with team Floret, I also met so many other amazing flower farmers from across the country and made friendships that will last a lifetime.

Through flowers I found the people that truly see me. Thank you Erin!!

and released this beautiful short film about our visit and it’s wonderful to get to revisit all the feels of that day over again as I watch this. Yes, we are real!

Update: Sold out…thanks for your support!!

Surprise flower drop at the farm tonight from 5-7pm due to an unexpected cancellation. These are very large bouquets with specialty flowers that I don’t usually offer and they are just stunning. They are priced higher than usual to reflect this but you won’t be disappointed! I hope to see you soon!!

Sidehill Trishie making her entrance! Love this flower which was bred by our own Tennessee local Ray Philips! So lucky to get to learn from him and other seasoned breeders. Tomorrow a few of us from Knoxville are going to Chattanooga for a judging class as we work towards becoming judges for the ADS.

Let’s just stop and take a moment to admire KA’s Lavender Blush! I mean wow!!

Supporting cast is KA’s Cinder Rose, Bracken Rose, Bloomquist York, and Arborose Quicksilver.

Edit: Wait, hold up….I think is KA’s Chiffon when I look at the petal shape more closely. Mislabeled me thinks.

Decided to pick all the coral colored blooms because KA’s Coral Sea () is blooming and yes, she’s amazing! Our hot weather makes the blooms open their centers really quickly but I know when we get cool nights in September she will be even more fabulous.

Also in this bouquet is Jowey Winnie, KA’s Boho Peach, Brown Sugar, Rose Toscano, a few of my seedlings, and unknown that I got at a society sale a few years ago, Little Flower Girl zinnias (), feverfew, Dara, Ms. Marilyn Chinese forget-me-not (), Queen of Sweden Rose, and Crown Princess Margareta Rose.

The dahlias are finally starting to come to life. It will still be a few weeks before I’m ready to open the farm back up for bouquet sales but make sure to watch the feed for when I do.

Pictured here is a white dusted with light blush first year seedling of mine framed by KA’s Boho Peach blooms. I’ve been sick for the past week so making this petite pick-me-up was just what I needed.
