When Mother Nature draws a line on the horizon!

11/07/2024

Today we started the process of dividing up our dahlia clumps. We do this in the fall because it is too cold here to do it in the winter off season and the spring is too busy for us. We plan to share our steps for this and hope that you can give it a try as well. Pictured is Ice Tea dahlia tubers and if you look close, you can see the “eyes” near the stem. Each of those tubers are capable of growing a whole new plant next season. And it is why we do this - many new plants for us with just a bit of effort!

Planting dahlias in too cold weather can cause the tubers to rot. Learn when to plant dahlias by seed and tubers with these tips from gardening experts.

Happy to say that the hardest fall task on the farm is complete! All 750 dahlias are dug, yay! Now we will start the process of washing and dividing. (Since we divide all ours in the fall) First we wash as many as we can divide that day. We let them dry a little - a few hours - then they get wrapped. Wash, divide, dry, wrap, will be our mantra for the next few days, at least😊 While there are several different methods of overwintering your dahlia tubers, this is the one that works best for us and our schedule. You just want to be sure to overwinter them in a way that they are protected from freezing - most important! But they will be most happy in a place that is between 45-50 degrees. (Basement, cold cellar, garage) You can even store them unwashed, whole, for the winter. Whatever way you choose - you will have the potential for new plants next season!

The Holiday Shop at the farm will be Friday, Dec 6th and Saturday, Dec 7th from 9:30am to 2pm! Mark your calendars! In the barn, you will find premade wreaths and other holiday items as well as everything you need for your DIY projects! Wreath making demos will be ongoing all day. In the studio, there will be open design time from 10am to noon! This is a drop in time for a fee of $45 and you will have all the materials to make a table arrangement as well as a few specialty items that we will have on display. Our designers will be there to lend you a hand. This design time is both Friday and Saturday! We are your local source for creating a little holiday cheer!

11/01/2024

The big dig has started! The dahlia tubers are being dug and we place them in totes and crates. They are then stored until we wash them, this will be done in batches. Once your tubers have been in the ground for 120 days, you can cut them back, pause or not and then dig them out. All of this process is weather dependent.

10/31/2024

Happy Halloween!! We had some spooky guests at the barn today.

10/30/2024

It’s cold and rainy today and the poppies are loving it! (Yes, they grew back from early spring) And tomorrow we are expected to have record high temperatures - fall has been a bit of a roller coaster, so far.

10/28/2024

Mark your calendars! Our annual holiday pop up shop will be Friday, December 6th and Saturday, December 7th! More details will be posted later this week.

10/26/2024

Our congratulations to Krista & Tommy and a shout of thanks for including us in your joyous event! (And sharing your photos) Each wedding we do is unique and personal, there are so many settings that are on MDI. They are all so beautiful and we feel fortunate to be able to provide local flowers for local events!

10/24/2024

And that’s a wrap, our 2024 event season is over! We are most grateful to our design team for the hard work that they put in throughout and also to who provided us with some extra creative support and closed out the season for us! We so appreciated being able to provide local sustainable flowers for our community. And we look forward to sharing some of those events with you.

The Agrostemma, Ocean Pearls, looks perfectly fine after a hard frost - amazing!

10/22/2024

Life is good when some of the last stems harvested from the farm, find their way into our living space. So thankful for all that the season brought - a most talented staff, wonderful and friendly clients, helpful vendors and then of course - the flowers! As the season ends, it brings a time of reflection but also the promise of what is to come. (And we can’t wait to share it with you!)

10/19/2024

One of the plants that we grew that I want to highlight is Ageratum Blue horizon. This picture was taken a few days ago (before our heavy frost) and we were still cutting it! We planted it in May and these blue fuzzy flowers just kept reblooming all summer and into the fall. While it is a supportive player in design, it really is a delightful addition to just about all the things we do, bouquets especially. Yes, a bit fussy to cut but with netting added this year, much easier to do. Consider adding this to your line up! The Blue horizon variety is our favorite.

10/18/2024

A big shout out of thanks to our staff! Yesterday, through their collective efforts, we got a new cover on our caterpillar tunnel. Now we can do our fall plantings in this space and planting for the 2025 season will officially begin! Bringing the best of local flowers from our farm to your home.

10/17/2024

Yes, we did have a hard frost last night! And we can’t remember the last time it happened this early in October. While it didn’t take everything down, the dahlias were definitely affected (like all of them). We got right to work today and started the cutting back and tagging chore. This was preceded in the past weeks by confirming each tag matched the flowering dahlia. We have a step by step process to make sure each dahlia is what it is tagged as. This procedure goes from the field down to the individual tubers. While nothing is perfect, it has worked with remarkable accuracy.

10/16/2024

With a freeze warning in the forecast for tonight - we just delivered our last bouquets for the season! Go to if you need a flower fix. Thanks you for a wonderful season and your support for local agriculture!

Congratulations to Victoria & William!

And that’s a wrap! Another setup at the Islesford Dock Restaurant, always a pleasure to make the trip to this lovely venue.

Another collection of our flowers (in the cooler) ready to go out to an event! Sending more flower love into the local community.

Stroll through one of our tulip cuttings and note that today is the day that we will have our flower cart sale! Small jars, large jars and bouquets will be available! Since it is early season, the flower cart will go out only now and then. As always, you may contact us with any special requests. [email protected] Thanks for supporting local flowers!

The carpenters are finished! And they did a great job with our new design space. Now it is time to get it set up!

We have a late blooming lilac called Donald Wyman and it seems to attract pollinators much more than the other varieties.

A little bee heaven

Wally had a play date at the farm this afternoon and got the zoomies out of his system!

We read about using a spinning Jenny for drip hose a few years back and then adapted it to use on our RTV. Within a minute, we can roll up 100 ft and 3 lines at once.
