In November, I savor every bouquet I get to make.
There's something about flowers that calls me to the beauty of the present moment.

Or maybe it's just knowing that flowers will be gone soon?!

Cheers to the 2024 season of flowers 🍾

Tis the season for moving dirt and planting 🪱
OG hype girl locked in on 2025💮

There is so much anticipation for the coming months - big changes in my life and business. I find myself daydreaming about the flowers and the future.

Other for my subscribers and previous commitments, I'll be taking a mental health break from my business.

Growing cut flowers and sharing bouquets with others is what makes my heart sing, but I cannot ignore my current state of duress.

For almost ten years, I've found refuge in the garden and it has always been a place of peace. I know that it will continue to be that for me, but feeling like I am dropping the ball in both my life and business is overwhelming me at this time.

Hopefully the break is very temporary and I can hop right back in feeling supported and healthy.

In the last days of month, I hope honesty in my struggles can shine a light on the "secret" lives of those who suffer from mental illness.

Today is my 35th birthday 🥳 so I thought I'd share a random about me! I usually celebrate my birthday for a month, but this year I'm taking it easy.

🥖 I love to eat, especially if I don't have to cook or do the dishes - cheesesteaks, tacos, pizza, pasta
🏁 When I grow up, I want to be a rally car driver - but I've never had a speeding ticket
🕵️‍♀️ I'm a plant encyclopedia. I usually know the binomial nomenclature and probably the family a plant belongs to. If I don't know one, I won't rest until it's ID'd
🫣 I'm scared of the dark and heights
🛁 I only take baths
🐇 Bunnies are my favorite creature, but I've been on creature case since I was a little kid.
🙉 I hate talking on the phone and when it rings I have a panic attack every time (terrible thing for a small business)
🧡 My favorite color is orange
🔑 I struggle with losing my things - keys, wallet, phone
👫👯‍♀️🕴️ Of all the things I've grown, I'm most proud of my family. I especially love my husband, who makes it all possible 🫂👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

I will talk about plants with anyone who will listen. I work all winter for the flowers so I can share them with my neighbors.

This was my first time being the subject of professional photography and I'm so thankful for it!

I'm soooo close to the million of zinnias I've been dreaming of. I wish I could say I'm keeping these little ladies, but I fixed up something special for a loyal subscriber.

I'm kinda confused about how it's the end of May?

I'll be so sad when the larkspur is gone 😭

To***co ❤️ Favorite Flower Finalist

Honestly there is no smell on earth like. It's so distinctive and so intoxicating.

With the ability to change its flowering time, nectar composition, and call birds to its aid, it's one of the coolest plants.

I thought I would treat myself to some treasure for making it through the last few months.....

Kids had a different idea about what this vintage glass was for....

If I had to pick a second favorite flower -
it would be the butterfly ranunculus
waxy petals that are better with time
I say I do to this purdy plant

Out in the rain because THE FLOWERS ARE HERE

It's always so much fun to flower a wedding and this wedding was one for the books! Watching the venue transformed by so many talented hands was magic ✨✨✨ everyone brought Doug and Kelli's wedding vision to life and then they filled it up with love and light.

My ears were filled with laughter the entire time and I can't think of a better way to work!

I'm always partial to pictures of the wedding couple, but to me this photo captures the energy of that day so well.

❤️ Cheers to the newly, and happily, married couple ❤️ wishing you years of adventure, long laughs, and tru wuv

There are bluebells and then there are Spanish bluebells.
These puppies don't play!

They have bigger flowers, thicker stems - and they'll smother an understory in a jiffy. These plants are nearly impossible to eradicate, spreading rapidly by both seed and bulb.

Thankfully they have a great vase life so they don't stand a chance here 🔪

Yes, I'm thankful for the bunches of flowers in my hand, but our native bluebell is way prettier. 👑
