Do you have an intention to notice more beauty in 2025? Me too. To take better care of your home, reboot an art practice, connect with the natural world, learn about flowers, spend some money locally? Hey me too. And these are things people report gaining when they join our Flower Club! Signups are open - DM if you have questions! *Also a good gift*

Let me just say, when your name pops up in my orders, emails, DMs/comments/likes, I see it. When you’re someone who gets a wreath every year, buys flowers for anniversaries/bereavement/congratulations, or signs up for Flower Club again and again, your name is a prayer in my eyes. I see you! I appreciate you more than you know & will keep making you beautiful things for as long as I can/you want. Thank you 🌸💎‼️

Some of my favorite small biz friends (tagged here) have written some amazing things recently, on this platform and others, about the struggle to stay afloat in (let’s call it what it is) late-stage capitalism. I hope those of you who follow me already share these sentiments: that our world is richer with creative small businesses in it, our cities more interesting, our discourse more diverse. We can exchange our skills for money without contributing to exploitation, exponential growth, and generalized scarcity mentality. I know you feel this way too, and I know it’s hard to live our values in a world filled with ultra-discount-email spam. Anyway, here’s what’s happening at Flower Scout, right now and often, as I try to teach this kid how to value exploration and rest. Also she’s in the sweetest weird wonderful school (tagged also) but it’s only three days a week / I did it to myself / Mothering is endless. Happy Cyber Monday, last day for a discounted Flower Club Membership, love ya

We’ve been so lucky to grow on this land this year. Gentle breezes, sprightly young deer, little tent camp over the fence, thistles like daggers and fields of mega-weeds: also flowers flowers flowers. She deserves her rest, but until the real frost hits we’re gonna savor every stem we get.

I’m a big big fan of dinnertime photos. Gimme a host of beautiful people two glasses in, laughing around some flowers and bread, and I’m done for. Hooray for Dana & Andy and this incredible day they orchestrated so brilliantly at with the skilled gaze of 🤌🏻

Do you like tulips? I very much do, and I’ve made two collections of my favorite bulbs available for you to buy. We’ve got the SUNRISE collection, moody and minimal, and the SUNSET collection, warm and bright. Both are on the website now! You’ll get an info sheet about planting, and 30 bulbs in your order. But you know I run my own website so tell me if there’s a bug to work out thank you xo

GET READY this is a long appreciation post for my helpers and I will not apologize. Abundance of friendship and merriment, the 3 of Cups!

Julia: The backbone of the farm, real everyday responsible responder, keeping me literally grounded and developing the kinds of systems I’ve only ever dreamed of. Also I brought her a penny whistle from Ireland and she learned to play it immediately. Multi talented and hopefully sticking around FOREVER 🌞

Shannon, perseverer, plant whisperer, bug rescuer, bringing a steady hand and sweet nature to our farm world. Also painting the interior of my entire house as

Catherine, long lost creep, friend I should’ve had when I was fifteen, lighting up the room with 90s radio hits or Sufjan or Joni or radio country, knowing just what we need and always ready to gossip deep and compassionately with me, also making wild weird stuff as her life’s work and thank goodness for it

Kelsey, inborn master of installs, tackler of the impossible project, full steam friendliness plus the bright eyes of a child with a box of fresh markers. Find her big fun powerful paintings

Emily, powerful grounder and talker-through-of-things, noticing me not taking myself seriously, taking me damn seriously and making masterful sculptural bountiful arrangements in mere moments

Phoebe, who came in halfway through to clean up our big messes and to cheer everyone in a mile radius with her sweet can-do vivacity, making poetic nonsense drawings with my kid and energizing the heck out of Mondays.

Some extremely honorable mentions include Heidi: powerful new friend force and passer-on of plant and animal knowledge, Jess: old friend, birthday twin, supporter, shower-up who is saving the last forested land on the river in Troy, Haesol: with fresh vision and enthusiasm for flower design, Paige: busy problem-solving diver-in, saving our libraries, Lauraly: dancer and maker-of-things, confident and profoundly capable, Andrew who always tells me what to do, and my amazing MOM who shows up for me always and forever how’d I get so lucky really everyone this caption got cut o

I am a huge fan of Allie & Ben (and whatever is happening with this goat and this bridesmaid bouquet). This early June wedding — how was it only last month — was an ode to the vibrancy of Early Summer and this peony-meets-poppy moment, with the most perfect photos by
