A beautiful event for a wonderful cause!

Though container and wreath work fills the better part of my schedule, it’s always a treat to receive a cut flower order especially one that includes garden roses and ranunculus.

I have clients who wait and I have other clients who look forward to an early spring refresh more than any other season's. The season is short and the wild temperature swings will often trick us into thinking the warmer...

Last wreath delivery of the season. Wishing everyone the merriest of Christmases!

A fall palette of plants suited to these warmer temperatures. Don’t be tempted by mums this early in the season.

A snapshot of the many prom bouquets spiraled and hand-tied over the past two weekends. All personalized and each with a touch of fragrance.

Don't forget about edibles when shopping for cold-hardy container options. Lettuce adds a frilly touch and strawberries will soften the edges as they start to spill. Violas and pansies make for beautiful garnish.

An early spring combination of Black Cat pussywillow, daffodils, heuchera, violas and dwarf iris. Just out of the frame are two different kinds of lettuce and the prettiest variety of lysimachia. If ever stuck on color combinations for your planters, just look to Mother Nature. She knows best.

Aren't these 'Shades of Grey' Tulips gorgeous?

Please don't open a direct message from me telling you that someone has died. My account was hacked this morning!

This week brought with it the last of the wreaths and containers, now onto centerpieces!

All dolled up for the town's Holiday House Tour.

Thank you to all my wonderful customers and ongoing clients who have entrusted me to help make your holiday season merry and bright. Wiring wreaths by the dozens these days.

Dawn Rosenbaum Mitchell and I had a fantastic time teaching nearly 50 people how to make wreaths from scratch this past Friday. Our prep started months in advance and here's a look into the process. If you want a sneak peek into my next post which will be all about the finished product, head over to Instagram - Hackberry Hill Flowers. The wreaths are spectacular!

Dawn of Dawn Mitchell Designs and I had a wonderful time gathering all the goodies needed for a beautiful wreath workshop. While these pandemic/supply issue times call for a bit more planning, creativity and patience, w...

It’s almost wreath time! We hope you can join us.

Wonderful family and farm!

Annuals are some of my favorite cut flowers! I planted coleus for a client and encouraged her to bring the clippings inside. Cut stems will last for weeks in a vase and often you will start to see new roots forming. A win win!

Thank you to WC Press for featuring our courtyard garden in the July issue! It's my favorite little part of our ever-a-work-in-progress garden, and I write about it in detail at www.hackberryhillflowers.com under the Journal tab.

My favorite garden is a wall or hedge-enclosed one so when we bought our current house, I was thrilled with the potential of a courtyard garden. My personal aesthetic leans towards suffocation - the more enclosed, the b...

The July garden is a generous one! I grow many of the flowers I use for clients to ensure clean and long-lasting blooms. This time of year, I can almost exclusively snip foliage and flowers from my garden for orders which is a wonderful thing. Visit my website www.hackberryhillflowers.com and click on Journal to read about container gardening, hydrangea care and more.

June blooms atop two fantastic reference guides. Modern Mix is as beautiful a book as it is practical. If you are a treasure hunter, your book will likely end up looking like mine - dog-eared and covered in post-it notes! And, In Bloom, for anyone who enjoys growing flowers from seed and wants to try his/her hand at a cutting garden. Much of what I snipped today was started on windowsills in my house in the late winter, and this author makes it really easy to figure out what to grow and how to have success once seeds are sown.

Garden fresh.

Flowers for a sweet friend who specified yellow for a themed barbeque. The airy white flower is 'Covent Garden' Gypsophilia or baby's breath from my garden. A far cry from the typical double form found in grocery store bouquets. It is always fun deciding which dancers or ethereal flowers should float above the more showy blooms and this Gypsophilia never disappoints. Another favorite is the pineapple mint tucked into this arrangement. It looks good, smells good, and has a wonderfully long vase life.

A late spring table dressed up with cosmos, hydrangeas, variegated weigela, hostas and clematis. And, yes, those are bars of soap! Head over to www.hackberryhillflowers.com where I journal about when to snip flowers and how to prepare them for the table.

A little red, white and blue to kick off this Memorial Day weekend.

21/05/2021

One of the best parts about shopping with local growers is how generous so many are with their flower knowledge and experience. It's always a good day when I can come home from a grower and scribble gleaned tips into my notebook. There is always more to learn and will always be! Can you guess what kind of flower farm I visited today?

The stockings are yet to be hung with care, otherwise, this Christmas mantel garden is complete!

Winter planters are a joy and possibilities are endless. Why leave a garden pot empty when you can fill it with beautiful clippings and sparkly bits?
