So what does a cut flower farmer do prior to Christmas that has nothing to do with flowers? Prepare sheep and cow headbands for the children’s play at church!

Ithink these turned out great! Can’t wait to see the kids wearing them tomorrow evening!

These faded zinnias aren’t that beautiful to look at now, however they are very attractive to birds who are looking for food as they prepare for winter months.

Goldfinches, cardinals, sparrows and towhees are some of the birds that love to snack on zinnia seeds while they are still on the flower before falling on the ground.

It is so enjoyable to watch the birds as they fly in and out of the garden enjoying their feast.

Remember, zinnia seeds only form after the flower has died, so you don’t need to worry about the birds eating these flowers while they are in their prime.

Zinnias are a beautiful and easy flower to grow. So think about growing some next year!

Ageratum, one of my favorite new plants! I grew it for the first time this year and it has bloomed since June! Looks great in bouquets and can be used as a filler flower or greenery! Next year I will be growing several more color varieties! Simply love this plant! 🪴

Stop! Let your flowers die naturally on their stems. The birds and insects will thank you !

Each year I like to add new flowers and greenery to the cut flower garden. It allows me the ability for me to offer more varieties of flowers to everyone.

This year one of the new plants I choose was Hypericum. Planted in the ground in May and it is just about ready to cut and use in fall arrangements.

I will be using these berries in some of my upcoming floral design classes and can’t wait to share them with everyone!

God had such an artistic mind when He created the world. All of these Dahlias are from the same variety, yet each one has its own unique bloom! It never ceases to amaze me how intricately we are all made!

I also had a visitor to my dahlia bed yesterday evening. A praying mantis was resting on the back of one of the blooms!

Flower farming in a lifestyle and I enjoy it so much. Even though summer is winding down there are still lots of blooms here at The Farmhouse Gardens. Remember me next time you want to purchase fresh cut, locally grown flowers.
