It's been an amazing season, but I'm over it, and we're going to take the signs down on Monday so last chance to pick-a-bouquet.... I'm starting to put the garden "to bed" and I had 10 yards of compost delivered - so no gym needed for me! A dozen new perennials arrived yesterday and new peonies and lilies are coming later this fall so I'm dreaming about the 2026 garden. Thank you for all your support!

These are pictures of some flowers that I picked yesterday.

The August garden is looking better than the last couple years, rain makes such a difference.

I particularly love the vibrant colors of the gladiolus. For a longer lasting bouquet, pick ones that have unopened buds at the top of the stem and just keep shortening the stem as the lower blooms fade.

Come pick a bouquet at Old Mission Flowers! The garden is full of color and variety this year - these pictures were taken 7/18/25. There are quart jars available that you may fill with whatever you want for $20.00. I recommend putting water in the container first so the flowers can immediately start hydrating or you are welcome to pick in a pail of water and then arrange into a jar or vase. My daughter has also stocked the cooler with a few grab and go bouquets for $20.00.

One would think the flowers would be toast after two nights in the forties last week and now, eighty degrees predicted for 10 days and not a drop of rain, but... the garden is still blooming. I took these pictures 9/13/24.

There are three flowers in the garden that can be dried easily and used for crafting: statice, strawflowers and celosia (the bright colored brainy looking flowers). It's easy, just hang them upside down in small bunches and keep in a cool, dark place for a few weeks. There are u-tubes that explain how to wire the strawflowers while they're fresh.

Happy Labor Day! This was a small sunflower with a very short stem that I floated in a bowl on Wednesday and trimmed the stem once. I took the second photo this morning (Monday), five days later. It’s been great fun watching it open.

The garden will be open this year through September 22nd.
