Meet my latest farm hires - Fox and Filly. They are still too small to go outside, but in spring will be on rodent duty around my home property. In the meantime they are great dahlia dividing buddies, and are keeping me entertained with their antics (plus are fantastic cuddlers, too!) I'm so excited they are here!

Grab a friend and join me for a custom wreath making workshop!

I have THREE dates available this year, and spots are limited at each one:

There will be locally grown fresh greens and dried flowers to make your own masterpiece, and I'll walk you through the whole process step by step. You won't see these wreaths anywhere else this season, because each one will be totally custom to YOU!

Meet Carrie (yes, this has caused occasional confusion as my name is also Carrie) - she joined us at the tail end of the season but has harvested, planted, dug dahlia tubers, and has been the chief dahlia washer so far this season. I'm so grateful to have her here to help!

Carrie says:
"This is my first time working with flowers in a sustainable manner and I love it! It's so fun to be outside with other cool, fun, knowledgeable people. It's incredible to work together to create so much beauty in balance with the surrounding natural environment."

Thanks Carrie!

Meet Geena - another late season addition to our team, but she's been a great fit and I'm so glad she joined us!

Geena says:
"I'm so glad to have worked with so many beautiful flowers this summer! I absolutely fell in love with the dahlias, and harvesting the best ones!"

Thanks Geena!

Meet Julie - she's only been with us for a few weeks but has been cutting down and digging up dahlia tubers like a champ!

Julie says:
"I'm so grateful for the opportunity to work with Carrie and her great crew, I'm learning so much about gardening through this fabulous journey. I get to love what I do and call it work!"

Thanks Julie!!

We are 1 full week into the 2025 dahlia dig, and about 50% done digging up our 1900+ dahlia clumps. I'm already missing all the beautiful blooms, but also excited to share these lovelies with you for next year's growing season!

My online tuber shop will open up for presale the week of Thanksgiving, and tubers will begin to ship in April. More details to follow soon.

Featured here you'll see Karma Choc, Darcy, Terracotta, and Rock Run Ashley, all of which will be available in a few short weeks to add to your collection.

If you decorated this season with bales of straw and are done with them for the season I'd love to take them off your hands!! Whether you are done now or want to wait until after Thanksgiving, please keep me in mind, and I'll come pick them up whenever you are ready!

It's official - we finally had our first frost overnight and the flowers are truly done for the season. We did one last sweep of the flower fields yesterday and harvested whatever we could, so you have one last chance at a fresh bouquet for the 2025 season!

Message me if you'd like to reserve one for pickup this afternoon, Saturday, or Sunday. The rest will be headed to .coop for my final delivery this year.

What's next, you may be wondering? The list is long, but includes prepping for my dahlia tuber sale (which should open around Thanksgiving), planting tulip and daffodil bulbs, cutting back fields, and prepping new beds... we still have our work cut out for us!

Next up is Melissa, another amazing team member!

Since this spring, she has moved compost, aerated soil, planted seedlings, installed drip irrigation, weeded (and weeded, and weeded), harvested, made deliveries, and more.

Melissa says:
"As a very amateur gardener I have learned so much working with Green Garden Mama. It has been amazing seeing all the hard work in the spring come to fruition when we get to spend our days among all the beautiful dahlias and other flowers!"

Thanks Melissa!

As my little cut flower farm in the suburbs continues to take over neighborhood yards, there's just no way I could get it all done on my own. I'm so grateful to have had several amazing helpers this summer!

Meet Kristin - another local mom who has moved soil, planted tubers, harvested flowers, tagged dahlias, made deliveries, and more.

Kristin says:
"I've really enjoyed working outside and learning so much from Carrie the past six months! It's also been fun supporting a local business whole making money instead of just spending it!"
