Dahlias are starting to bloom, and I can’t wait to see an explosion of color in the fields instead of weeds this year.

13/06/2024

First time growing Cherokee purple tomatoes. Excited to try this new variety.

In flower news, I’ve almost done planting all of the dahlias (two months late, but thankfully we have a long growing season) - I also took quite a few cuttings, which delayed getting quite a few planted.

I’m still only growing on half of the farm - will get the other side tilled, beds amended and compost down in the fall.

In the meantime, follow along as I reclaim the flower fields. 🤘🏻🌸

Two adorable elephant planters are left, the third is on its way to Delaware for Mother’s Day. Local pick up or shipping is available via my website.

Evening sunsets and brambling roses….its magical this time of year when the flowers pick up colors in the sunsets

14/04/2024

Snapdragons and sage make the most beautiful pairing.

04/03/2024

Natures painting in a flower. Italian bred anemones and ranunculus are worth every penny.

02/02/2024

The tea light candle holders make great sage stick holders too….

Booking all the woodworking and resin projects for 2024. If you’re looking for the perfect way to turn your florals into functional art, I’d love to chat with you.

Vibrant jewel tones and gorgeous florals in this 11x14 tray for Nina.

Caryopteris in all her beautiful glory. Designers, reach out of you and Amy some beautiful line flowers / filler for this weekend.

07/09/2023

One of a kind pieces make me happy - just like this stunning piece. Savannah’s flowers dried beautifully and when paired with live edge box elder, the magic is undeniable. Can’t wait to for this piece to be complete because it’s going to be a stunner.

05/09/2023

Roses and eucalyptus are timeless, just like this tray. Thanks for trusting me to turn your flowers into a beautiful, functional keepsake - I hope you enjoy this piece for years to come.

01/09/2023

One of my favorites from last year…

07/06/2023

Loving creating functional art from y’all’s wedding flowers, especially when I’m trusted with all the ideas. Shipping this beauty off today and can’t wait to see it hang in my clients entryway in Virginia and remind them of their Topsail wedding last fall.

12/05/2023

Updates — peony season is over (such a bummer) but dahlias will be blooming soon. Im not currently offering subscriptions or custom arrangements at this time (unless you want them on a weekend and my minimum is $100, not including delivery).

Floral Preservation projects are moving along. I’m working through October clients now and my books are still closed until I can catch up on some of my existing clients projects.

14/02/2023

The magic of David Austin garden roses and a vintage compote. I’m not sayin’ y’all messed up by going with another florist for Valentines Day florals, but…..

03/01/2023

I fully recommend taking a hiatus from social media as often as you can. It’s extremely hard for us small business owners, but man it was so nice to disconnect over the holidays.

To anyone that’s sent an email or a message, I’ll be getting back to everyone this week.

Happy 2023!!

10/12/2022

Come see me at the Wilmington Farmers Market at Tidal Creek from 8am-1pm today and Poplar Grove from 5pm-9pm to get some holiday goodies for you and your loved ones.

08/12/2022

I started working with resin a year ago when my friend Jill tagged me in a fellow artists Instagram post. Her words “I think this would be really cool for you to try.”

I started with small resin projects, working my way up to trays and larger items before feeling confident enough to open my books to clients.

I’ve loved every minute learning and growing in this craft and am so grateful to fellow artists willingness to answer questions and for Tim (.epoxy ) graciously sharing his cell and answering all of the questions.

I have some big goals for next year and can’t wait to share the journey.

17/11/2022

Can’t wait to share this tray with you all. It will be available for purchase at one of the holiday markets I will be at.

10/11/2022

Holiday themed ornaments / wall art will be making an appearance at some local holiday markets next month. Head over to the website (link in bio) to see my holiday market calendar.

05/11/2022

Whether you’ll be hanging them on your tree or your wall, these round ornaments will be a most loved and admired decorative piece.

I’m working on having enough to bring to the for their Christmas market next month.

04/11/2022

A glimpse inside the studio as I start wrapping up pieces from late spring/ early summer.

27/09/2022

The sunset tonight was something special.

07/09/2022

Want to grow your own ranunculus and anemones in your own cutting garden? I’ll have several varieties for sale on the website next week (including chamallow and some of the half clones).

05/09/2022

I wish you could smell this rose through your screen, but scentavision sadly still isn’t a thing.

04/09/2022

David Austin roses will forever be my favorite. These are a beautiful deep fuchsia pink when they bloom and they dry this super moody, jewel toned raspberry red. I can’t wait to share the final tray with you when it’s complete.

03/09/2022

Harvested some flowers with imperfections and some that needed to be deadheaded and will be drying them for some trays that will be available at Autumn with Topsail next month. Even though these blooms can’t be enjoyed fresh, they’ll be enjoyed for years to come when they’re encapsulated in resin and cast into beautiful, functional art pieces.

31/08/2022

Since it’s been a little while since I’ve posted, I thought it was only fitting to have a little show stopper fill your feed.

03/08/2022

This side table/serving tray functional art piece will be available at the Old Baldy Market this weekend on - message me if you’d like to work with me to create your own functional floral art pieces.

What do y’all think of the abstract pieces? Kinda digging them…I’ll be adding these to the shop this weekend. #workingwithresin #abstractwaves #resinartists

So excited about this tray and can’t wait to share the final piece. The flowers have been drying since April and it will take another two weeks before all the pieces are ready for pick up, but man, this gets me so excited. Florals are from a wedding created by: @blossomandboneflorals #floralpreservationartist #flowerpreservation #resinartistsofinstagram #locallygrownflorals #wilmingtonartists #ncartists

Bold colors in this stunner. Do you need some flower magic in your life? If so, I’ll be out at the Town of Surf City’s Sip, Shop & Stroll event this Friday. Come by and say hi and grab yourself some flowers 🌸🌸🌸

This intergalactic planetary nigella has me obsessing over it. I’ve been snipping away and drying these beauties so I can add them into some of my dried floral pieces. Don’t you think it’s the most unique bud you’ve ever seen? #resincreations #dryingflowersinprogress #howtodryflowers #creatingwithresin #resinartistsofinstagram #cngfarming #weddingflowerpreservation

Wine stoppers and candles are restocked at @saltmarshmarket - they’re the perfect personalized gift. #shoplocalnc #topsailnc #handmadewithlove

Gloomy days call for summer throwbacks of pretty pink flowers and butterflies. #allthingspink #allthingsbeautiful #ncgrown #pollinatorgardens #ncflowerfarm #hollyridgeflowers #naturallygrown

Anemone Close Up

Sometimes I question how flowers can be so beautiful, but then I find more beauty in not questioning nature.

Nothing like a little boomerang action to catch that eucalyptus sway. #thedaybeforechristmas #whiteanemone #americangrownflowers

Nothing sweeter…

Ok, for real the last custom arrangement of 2021. I’ll be spending this week and next getting all of the beds ready for spring flowers.

Loving the late season cotton pods paired with agastache and eucalyptus. #designingwithplants #bohoarrangement #certifiednaturallygrown #cngfarming

Can’t wait to see all the beautiful photos from a spooky styled shoot by @photospre and @momentsintimewp - and yes, those are crystals in that bouquet. #spookybouquet #halloweenthemed #halloweenthemedwedding #moodypurple #moodyflorals #weddinginspo

Goodness it’s so beautiful out here y’all. #cngfarm #protectthebutterflies #pollinatorfriendlygardening #pollinatorfriendlygarden #ncfarm #ncag #gottobencagriculture #gotobenc

Explosions of color from the field and lots of sleeping bees on and under the scoop scabiosa. I think if I were a bee, I’d like to sleep there too. #cngfarming #pollinatorfriendly #savethebees #ncfarm #ncgrown #ncagriculture #chemicalfree #certifiednaturallygrown

Just over here boomeranging with the Orlaya. Note to self: plant more of this in the fall. #doingwhatilove #flowerharvest #ncgrown #ncflowers #ncagriculture #gottobencagriculture #notillfarming #minimalsoildisturbance #coolflowers #fallplanted

One of the most beautiful nights on the farm. Sound on for the rain and the birds.

Huge shoutout to @therusticbarnathalfmoon for trusting me to put some florals together for them for a styled shoot they’re doing. Slightly modified this bridal bouquet, so you’ll have to follow along to see the final product. The foliage and texture was almost too pretty to put flowers in ***almost. A huge thank you to Jennie of @lovenfreshflowers for putting together her Wedding process course as well. For any fellow flower farmers looking to gain more confidence and understanding in the wedding florals side of farming, I highly recommend her course offered via the @gardenersworkshopfarm #weddingflowers #weddingflowerinspiration #styledshoots #springflowers #showmeyourflorals #ncgrown #bridalbouquet #texturalbouquet #ncflorals #teamflower

About Ivy & Oak

- A LITTLE ABOUT US - Ivy & Oak Farm started much like our flowers, as a tiny seed of an idea nurtured by a lot of love and devotion (and a ton of spreadsheets and how to books). Growing on less than an acre, we're a small scale flower farm in Holly Ridge, North Carolina. Since my hands are always in the dirt, I ensure that no pesticides or chemicals are ever used in our soil or on our flowers. Our flowers are harvested multiple times per week, ensuring you have the freshest seasonal flowers around, and they haven't taken a plane, train or boat to get to you. If you have a special occasion or want your flowers to "say" something to their recipient, let us know. We can arrange bespoke bouquets based upon the Secret Language of Flowers (don't worry, we include a handwritten note to identify what each flower means).

- WHY CHOOSE LOCAL? - Did you know that 80% of the cut flowers sold in the USA are imported from other countries? This means that your flowers have traveled thousands of miles to reach your table, often cut a week or more before you even buy them, and are typically drenched in chemicals to help them survive the journey and pass strict Customs inspections. We're part of the #grownnotflown movement and take pride in offering flowers that go straight from field to vase. Our flowers also support a diverse ecological system, benefiting our local pollinators, birds, and wildlife (Peter Cottontail is even known to make an appearance).

- SERVICES OFFERED - *Floral sales to photographers, florists and local businesses *Seasonal floral arrangements with *free delivery within Holly Ridge & Sneads Ferry area (*minimum $30 purchase required for free delivery) *Bouquet subscriptions (Limited Availability beginning in April - visit our website for additional information)
