Buddy & Bean is closed 💐 Thank you for a beautiful season!

Love, Nicole

Hi everyone 💐 CLOSING NEWS: This will be our last regular day for this season! Yes, we are closing the stand a bit early this year — we may open here and there by special announcement, but we will not be open every weekend.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your support this season and all of our seasons. It’s been an amazing five years of sharing beautiful locally grown flowers with you. What started as a very small hobby turned into something much bigger — something I never expected but will always be grateful for. The way you all embraced Buddy and Bean means the world to me. Every season we’ve grown, every weekend is busier than the last …

So why stop early? Honestly, TIME. As much as I love sharing flowers with you all, I am struggling to find the time. The more people who come, the more flowers I need to grow, harvest and process. It takes me an average of five hours to get the stand open.

Yup. Five hours. Every. Day. I. Open.

That’s a lot of flowers and a lot of hours! And it’s been a great success. But it’s gotten harder and harder for me to find those five hours a day as changes happen behind the scenes in my life. This is why I’ve been only opening on weekends. But now that needs to change too.

Again. Thank you from the very bottom of my heart for making Buddy and Bean such a stunning success. Thank you for supporting my little dream.

Love,

Nicole

Two roads diverged [on a flower farm]
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Friday, Sept. 6 💐 Open … but for how long?The refrain this season has been “it’s different this year” and our closing date is going to follow that same pattern — or lack of pattern! Typically, we keep rolling until the killing frost comes for us.

This year … well. There is a lot changing behind the scenes.

Our open days may get more sporadic. If you’ve been waiting to to get flowers I would not wait much longer!

Sunday, Sept. 1 💐 Put the flowers out over an hour ago and completely forgot to post … If you need me, I’ll be inside drinking coffee because clearly, I need it!

September is here! The countdown to the end of the season begins, and change is in the air.

Saturday, August 31 💐 And August slips away into a moment in time. Even though we were blasted with heat this past week, there’s a definite feeling of fall in the mornings. I’m seeing the changes in the garden, too — we are almost at the peak right now. In the next few weeks it’s going to be just armloads of dahlias and zinnias in all the best colors, one last burst before everything shuts down again. August is beautiful, but the September garden is the one I dream of all year.

It’s a bittersweet time … and also the best time. I’m excited to share these flowers with you all. ❤️

08/30/2024

Friday 8/30 💐 We are open! So many beautiful dahlias on the stand and more to come. Here are a few friendly reminders 👇

🌸 We are open weekends only, which is generally Saturday and Sunday and Fridays when I announce it via socials (like I am now!) but this is not set in stone. I ALWAYS make a post if I’m open to let you know, and I include the date.

🌺 You are welcome to visit the flower stand any time we are open until 8pm. The stand is self serve. I try to post when I’m sold out but please remember I am a human, and this is a humble road side flower stand, not an on-demand florist. 😉

🏡🚫 Please respect our family’s privacy. This is a private residence and not open to the public. Please do not wander the property or come to the door. If you need to speak with me reach out via direct message on social media. Thanks for helping us keep good boundaries!

08/25/2024

Open today, Sunday 8/25 💐 Late August is the most beautiful, most bittersweet time for flower growing. The garden gets just a few short weeks of peak beauty … and then the weather turns and it’s all over again. My absolute favorite dahlia finally bloomed and is on the stand today along with lots of gorgeous friends — we are at capacity again today, it’s the magic of August. But it’s gonna slip away before we know it.

08/24/2024

Saturday 8/24 💐 We’re open and the stand is PACKED with gorgeous fresh cut flowers! The dahlias are exploding — lots of these beautiful peachy bouquets today and a couple that are darker/spicier if that’s your vibe.

💐 Self serve stand located at 12631 52nd Street SE in Lowell, between Alden Nash and Segwun. Open now until 8pm. We accept cash and Venmo but cash is our favorite. If you choose Venmo please make sure your transaction completes before you leave. (Cash is so much easier for everyone!)

Friday 8/23 💐 A packed tub means a packed stand! I almost couldn’t fit all the flowers today! We’ve hit peak season and they’re beautiful.

08/16/2024

Hey everyone. This has been a really crazy week. Buddy and Bean will be closed this weekend so I can hang out with my family and be fully present with them. Thanks for your understanding. See you next weekend!

08/10/2024

Saturday, August 10 💐 We are open! And I’m loving this cooler weather. It’s been a battleground in the garden the last few weeks, with heat, bugs and weeds — but the calendar says it’s August and that means we are headed into the best weeks for flowers and hopefully weather too.

08/02/2024

OPEN Friday, August 2! 💐 Lots of gorgeous bouquets on the stand now until 8pm. And they are seriously so pretty. I feel like I say that every week — but every week more dahlias are blooming and for me it feels like seeing an old friend after a long time away.

Bouquet care tips! Please make us your last stop before heading home if you’re running other errands. Flowers are fine out of water for a short period of time but treat them like a puppy — don’t leave them in a hot car. When you get home, snip the ends and give them some cool water. Change the water every day for the longest vase life possible (if you wouldn’t drink it, why do your flowers want to?).

Mwah 😘

Ope, the tub is full of flowers, so that can only mean one thing! 💐 We will be OPEN on Friday, August 2! Not first thing in the morning, but most likely by noon and definitely in time for your commute home. I’ll let you know when I’m open via post and story.

Perfect example of how this season may be a little unpredictable ... thanks for rolling along with me.

EDIT: Busy morning! I just restocked!! LOTS on the stand again! 😘😘😘

I’ve been getting sooo many messages. “Are you open?” “Do you have flowers today?” “I miss your posts!” “ARE YOU ALIVE?!” So … I thought I would give you a little garden tour and explain why we are not open yet! 🙃 Long story short, the seedlings are like … an inch high, you guys! Also, yes, I straight up missed peony season. They are the best flower, but they ALL bloomed weeks early. Like, crazy early and crazy fast. I blinked and they were gone! I love Flower Farming but it’s not my only gig. I had to prioritize other work and wasn’t able to get the stand open for peonies … and there just wasn’t much to put with them. So, I selfishly kept them for myself. ;) Flowers in Michigan don’t usually get going until the end of June. I’ll have lilies and a few other things soon, and I PROMISE I’ll shout it from the rooftops when I do!

Shout out to today’s jar faerie and all the jar faeries who have shown up lately! I appreciate you SO MUCH!! 🖤

❤️💐

Hours of work condensed down to 30 seconds — we got the tulips in the ground today! The first half were planted in a milk crate trench. This is a ton of work but vital to protect hundreds of bulbs from hungry voles (jerk faces). We don’t own any heavy machinery here so a LOT of our work on the farm is all done by hand. This may be the last time we dig a tulip trench, though. Half way through we hatched a plan for a more efficient tulip layout for next year. (We always have one eye on the next year!)

Frost advisory update!

Don’t blame Goldenrod! This beautiful plant isn’t the cause of your fall allergies, I promise. The real culprit is RAGWEED, which blooms at the same exact time, but its flowers are small and not showy, so you probably don’t notice it at all. Ragweed’s pollen is so fine, it travels for miles. Goldenrod does produce pollen, but it’s too large to travel very far, so unless you have your face right on top of it, it’s pretty unlikely that Goldenrod is responsible for your misery. Goldenrod is not only beautiful, but it’s an extremely important food source for pollinators. If you have space on your property, let it thrive! You’ll be rewarded by late-season visits from Monarch butterflies. #goldenrod #allergies #monarchbutterfly #pollinators #pollinators🐝 #savethebees

The making of a Buddy & Bean bridal bouquet. Everything I used was started from seed and grown right here on the farm. I had been working on this for a few months — I knew which dahlias and fillers I wanted to use, and through careful planning and a little bit of magical timing, everything was ready the night before the wedding. This is my absolute favorite color palate to work with, so I had a lot of fun cutting for this and putting it together — I had to hold myself back a bit! This one features not only the queen of Dahlias herself, but some specialty celosia, zinnias, and all kinds of fancy little touches. So fun to make and an honor as always to be a small part of a special day!

A note on vase life — something that is so important to me! When you purchase flowers from Buddy & Bean, they are true fresh-cut flowers grown right here on the farm. Harvested at the correct time for each flower, conditioned, and put together with care so that you can enjoy them for a long as possible. The bouquet in this video is SEVEN days old. I’ve done my part — here’s some quick tips to make your bouquet last as long as possible once you bring it home: — Fresh water every day (if you don’t want to drink it, neither do your flowers!) — Keep them out of direct sunlight — Give the ends a little snip to revive — Enjoy your locally grown flowers! ❤️

If you don’t follow us on Instagram (@buddyandbeanfarm) you may be on the edge of your seat wondering if we survived the frost! 😉 Well, we did wake up to quite a bit of frost yesterday ... but the jar method worked and everything survived! So glad I took the time to cover. Here’s a quick video of waking up the zinnias and dahlias.
