We held our 2nd annual Knoxville Dahlia Society holiday tuber swap today. Wow, so much generosity and beautiful tubers shared amongst our members!! I hope everyone left full of holiday spirit and happiness as they look forward to next year’s growing season. I sure know I did! Love this group so much!!!

My mom came to visit me this past week and helped me dig all the dahlias. It’s such a huge job and even more daunting when you’ve been sick. Thanks ma for all the help!! Pictured here is Bloomquist Sue that I grow for her name sake but it is also so cheery and a bit wild like her!

Started the big dig yesterday when I started to get a cough and stuffiness. I thought it was my normal sinus issues because I’m allergic to all plants but nope….COVID took me out of the game. I hope I can recommence the dig next weekend when reinforcement arrive aka my mom!!

The farm is officially closed for the season. Thank you to everyone who supported us and we can’t wait to see you in the spring!

How is this abundance of flowers still happening in November?!?! Even my late blooming heirloom mums are putting on a show which is super rare. They, like me are enjoy this extended fall!

Last month Hurricane Helene ravaged eastern North Carolina while many of us in eastern Tennessee were spared. Dahlias may seem like a small thing in the larger scope of destruction but flowers have amazing healing powers. The Knoxville Dahlia Society and Tennessee Dahlia Society are hoping to gather tubers and a care package to send to our friends at the Carolinas Dahlia Society for distribution to members in need. We aim to bring this to them in December to cheer their spirits during the holiday season.

We are hoping this effort will reach beyond our two societies, so I’m asking for your help. If you have tubers, snips, plant tags, gloves, etc. that you could donate it would be very appreciated. Please reach out to me if you’d like to donate.

For local members, we will also be collecting donations at our annual KDS holiday party, Dec. 7. Thank you in advance for your help!

Rarely do I get to enjoy the heirloom mums at their prime because our weather has usually frozen them by now. But not this year!!

Sent these sweet flower crowns out into the world for two sweet little girls,
I hope they love them and they hold up for their photos tomorrow!!

Well good news folks…we had frost last night but it looks like it only killed a hand full of the dahlias! So the flower season will continue for a little longer.

I did pick flowers last night just in case, so there will be buckets of free flowers outside the fence starting at 5pm tonight. Come grab some of the beauty!!

Free flowers out front of the farm right now. Pups and buckets not included.

A celebration of life at the end of the season. I hope this brings the sweet family some light today.

The end of the season is almost here. While I spend time labeling plants and planning winter crops, I make sure to enjoy the last of the beautiful blooms. The dahlias are in their prime right now!

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!

It’s good to remind yourself why you dig and divide thousands of tubers each year…oh yeah, so next year you have a beautiful bounty to share!!! #dahlia #dahlias #dahliatubers #parkridgepetals #parkridge #parkridgeknox #knoxville #knoxvilletn #flowers #flowerfarm #knoxvilleflowers #knoxvilleflowerfarm #urbanflowers #urbanflowerfarm #farmfreshflowers #farmtovase #freshcutflowers #freshflowers

Hard to believe that the flower beds are under all this snow. But it may help all the ranunculus survive our 0 degree temps tonight. Maybe? #flowerfarm #urbanflowerfarm #knoxvilleflowerfarm #knoxvilleflowers #knoxvillegrownflowers #parkridgepetals #parkridge #knoxville #parkridgeknox #grownnotflown
