3700 tulips are in the ground ready for a glorious spring! Happy to have this task checked off the to do list ✅ Hoping we get some winter temps so they get the proper cooling they need. We also have 1500 tulips coming that are precooled and we are going to try our hand at forcing inside this winter for early blooms as learned in the tulip workshop! These will be part of our spring flower subscriptions, you can purchase now on our website! #ctflowerfarm #petersonspatch #sterlingct #tulip #tulips #tulipplanting #springflowers #spring

I love to see what my clients do with thier DIY buckets of flowers. These buckets went to a long time client who designed florals for a wedding. What an amazing job you did @tara.doyon #ctflowerfarm #petersonspatch #sterlingct #ctflowers #diyflowers #diywedding
Bouquets are wrapped and ready for the Voluntown Farmers Market tomorrow and our farm stand. Let’s hope the bad weather goes away! #ctflowerfarm #petersonspatch #sterlingct #ctflowers #ctgrown #Voluntown #voluntownfarmersmarket #preview
The farm stand has been restocked! Lots of fall beauties in there! #ctflowerfarm #petersonspatch #sterlingct #ctflowers #ctgrown
A double rainbow after the storm, which I mostly missed because today was my first day back to work at school. I laid down with my dogs because they missed me so much and I fell asleep, but only for a little bit. It was raining anyways so 💁♀️ Bear with me as I adjust to my new schedule. We will have some flowers available at the farm stand tomorrow am and we will return to the Voluntown Farmers Market this weekend! If you need flowers for a special order please feel free to text, email, or DM me. #ctflowerfarm #petersonspatch #sterlingct
A little moment for jewels of opar, a little dancing bit that I like to add to bouquets. It blooms little pink flowers but you have to wait until they turn to the little “berries” before you harvest them. This is one of the flowers that customers always ask about because it’s so different and rarely seen in grocery store flowers. #jewelsofopar #sparkly #ctflowers #petersonspatch
When mom didn’t put your pool out, you go lay in the muddy stream. The dogs days of summer 💁♀️ #dogdaysofsummer #goldenretriever #farmdogs
Our pop up Nickle Creek Vineyard yesterday was a huge success! Thank you our friends, family, and our new friends we made yesterday for coming out! Special thanks to Nickelcreek Vineyard for having us. I wish we had more time to chat but we were busy making the flowers! Music by Steve Malec was awesome and the weather was perfect! We can’t wait to be back on August 25th! #popupevent #ctflowerfarm #bouquetbar #petersonspatch #wine #rivineyards
Who knew I would be learning how to lay vapor barrier and radiant heat insulation but here we are! Radiant tubing to be placed tomorrow by us and then part of the concrete to be poured in Friday for our new building/workshop 🙌
Lots of new blooms have started to appear this week due to the heat! Limelight hydrangeas coming soon, Gomphrena, zinnias, tons of celosia, amaranth, Applemint, mountain mint, the first of the white lisianthus buds (which we snip off 😳 to help encourage the rest of the buds to bloom) and ageratum. Of course the lilies and the sunflowers are blooming like crazy too. If you want lilies the next 2 weeks will be the last of them. The farm stand will be open tomorrow at 10am! #petersonspatch #summerflowers #ctfarm #ctflowers #ctflowerfarm
