Blooms on 2nd

10/06/2025

Big freeze tonight and we welcome it with open arms. 2025 has been an incredible journey, but we've emerged stronger and more resilient than ever. Digging out the garden marks the beginning of a new cycle, filled with fresh possibilities and tubers to plant next year. Thank you for the immense amount of support this season!

Closing out the night with Bloomquist Jean as the sun sets on our 2025 cut floral season, we're filled with gratitude and excitement for what's to come.

Floral arrangements are always created with a specific concept and design in mind. We do not count stems, but rather price them based on size. We try to be reasonable with our pricing for the designs we create. We aim to create unique and colorful vases that people will enjoy.

We have quickly learned that we enjoy putting together designer urns for funerals. This may be because we can make them huge with lots of stems. We try our hardest to make sure they are perfect.

Neither of us grew up in the industry. Neither of us have ever taken a class. Neither of us went to school for anything related to flowers or floral design. We are not professionals, but instead we try our hardest to do the best job we can. We do want to thank anyone who has given us advice or criticism that make us better at our craft!

Below are some of the large arrangements we have put together for numerous occasions.

We took the day and started prepping our garden for digging. We cut down 4 of the 12 rows. We will start lifting tubers soon!

Why do we cut down the dahlias? With so many plants, we typically do not wait for frost to kill the plants. If we would continue to wait for frost, we may go from frost to winter really fast. So we cut down our early planted rows that have been in the ground for 150 days. We leave 5 or 6 inches of stalk for us to attach the variety tag to and let them sit for maybe a week before we dig, wash and then divide.

We do still continue to make flowers that are available in the cooler in our garage. If the front door is open, the cooler is self serve. If the door is closed, we are sold out. The flower garden in our yard is not for picking your own flowers. While we love the interest and support, we spend a massive amount of time making sure the plants are labeled correctly. The more people walking through the garden, the greater the chance a tag may be misplaced.

Once we get to digging, we will post more information with pictures and videos on what we do and what works for us. Make sure to follow our page to keep up to date!

The one that started it all- Purple Taiheijo.

Back in 2019, we stumbled upon some locally grown tubers at a greenhouse in MN. We had no idea what we were doing, but have learned along the way!

From heatwaves to hurricane winds and drought, we still surge on!

Our Garden Tour and You Pick shocked us. We do not have a head count, but we were overwhelmed with the support! Everyone was so respectful and so interested in what we had to share. We had some rain early in the day, but that didn't stop people from coming.

Thank you to everyone who was involved in our open house! I remember turning around and thinking, "where did all these people come from?!" We had a blast and look foward to next years event!

Here is a video recap from the day. Thank you to Addison Rall with Addison K Creative Co. for putting this together for us!

We are so excited for the open house today! Rain or shine, the show must go on!

Please wear appropriate footwear as the grass and dirt in the garden can get slippery!

Our open house event is from 3-6 with the You Pick starting at 6!

Words cannot describe how we feel right now. We would have never imagined being where we are just a few years ago. What started as a small vision, has quickly consumed our backyard.

There is no way we could do it without our family and friends. The extra help enables us to be able to do what we do.

We love our community, we love our supporters, and we love our flowers.

Thank you for supporting us on this crazy ride!

💥Big Announcement💥

Come see the largest dahlia selection in the area!

Join us for a garden tour! Come see how we grow our cut flowers and learn what has, and has not, worked for us. We mainly grow dahlias, but we have a lot of other cut flowers in our garden. Ask questions and see the huge variety.

If you are interested in buying dahlia tubers, you will have lots of time to go through the varieties and write down the ones you love! Seeing them in person eliminates the disappointment of buying online, growing them, and then realizing you do not love that variety after all. We have more than 1200 dahlias alone on site!!!!

After the tour is wrapped up and your wish lists are full, we are offering a you-pick. Buy a vase from us and fill it with anything in the garden.

When: September 13th
Time: 3pm-5pm Garden Tour
5pm-6pm Create a Wishlist
6pm You Pick!
Where: 208 2nd St NE Woodworth, ND

Disclaimer: We are not responsible for accidents. Please be careful during our event. Proplifting is theft. You picks are for cut flower purposes only.

Carrington! We are headed your way shortly to The Market.

We have an assortment of fresh cut flowers! If you make your way to us soon enough, we also have bouquets of 10 dahlias!

Here is a 1 minutes video of us removing bottom leaves from the dahlias.

We remove bottom leaves to help the plant for a few reasons. The major reason is the help with air flow. Good air flow under your plants helps keep the foliage dry. If you are fortunate like us, you will have lots of rain throughout the summer. If the foliage under the plant is constantly wet, if can cause a big issue with powdery mildew. Removing old and damaged leaves also helps prevent mold issues, which can rot the stalks.

We do not always get around to removing all the spent flowers on each plant. When petals drop, they can fall on these leaves and rot too. Which can cause more mold and potential breakage of stalks.

Our method may not be like everyone elses, but it works for us. The only downfall of removing bottom leaves is some plants become less stable in the wind. With less leaves towards the bottom of the plant, it does give less support. Supporting and staking your plants is a must!
