We will NOT be at the Florence Mill Farmers Market this week! We're a little exhausted, and we lost a really important part of our family this week. Mable would want us to rest. ❤️ She sure was good at it. Thanks for your understanding.

Build it, and they will buzz. God, I love partridge pea.

This is so awesome! I'm so glad Bumbling Bee Native Wildflowers is getting the exposure they deserve!

After a brush with a ceiling fan caused some serious head issues, Omaha's Amanda Stastny turned to gardening and now has a thriving business selling native plants.

Is there a more peaceful way to spend a morning? Come see me at the Florence Mill Farmer's Market from 10-3 today (08/11)!

Come see us today (08/04) at the Florence Mill Farmers Market! It's gonna be a hot one, but the Mill is part of Open Omaha, and you can cool off a little inside after checking out the vendors on the green!

Hi, everybody!

I'm not going to be able to make the Art Walk at Joslyn Castle tomorrow. I've developed a summer cold and a cough that sounds like I need to be thrown on the bring-out-your-dead cart.

Please accept my sincerest apologies and know that everyone is better off if I don't attend.

Please still go check out all the incredible local makers that will be attending. ❤️

Phew! Life has been life-ing lately. We will again miss the Florence Mill Farmer's market tomorrow (06/30) and will miss the (07/07) date as well. Between vacations and monkey-wrenches (and a smattering of other things), time just keeps evaporating. Thank you all for your patience, and I hope to see you again on 07/14! ❤️

06/23/2024

If you haven't joined the Bellevue Native Plant Society or listened to the Plant Native Nebraska Podcast, here's your sign! Do it! Today, I was lucky enough to be able to sit with the founder, Stephanie, and ham it up. Also, the folks at Milkweed Matters need volunteers to make seedballs to be tossed by the folks doing RAGBRAI, as we're only about a month out from that. It's a great activity to do with kids and helps everyone get their hands dirty. 🧡

06/21/2024

We will unfortunately be missing the Florence Mill Farmer's Market again this weekend, as we have a wedding. The garden feels like it's about to explode with blooms, so I'm hoping to have some expanded variety coming up next Sunday (06/30)! Thanks for your understanding-- and, don't forget, I do deliveries to the Omaha Metro and Council Bluffs area. ❤️
