The first dahlia tuber of 2024 is officially in the ground! I always get so nervous when it’s time to plant them out, but they are so so worth it. This first tuber in the ground also marks a huge milestone in my journey. Me and all my flowers are moving! Rest assured I haven’t gone far (pretty much right down the road). It truly amazes me how much can change in a year, and there has been so much growth. It’s scary. It’s exciting.Stay tuned for updates on the move - the original farmstand will still be operational all season as well as a second location at our new place.

Happy Sunday flower friends, enjoy the sunshine ☀️

Happy Easter flower friends 🌸💕☀️

I hope you’ve been able to spend some time with those you love this weekend. Thank YOU for including my blooms in another holiday - for many of you this is becoming a tradition I am so happy to be part of.

How is it already March?! The sunshine has me so excited for spring and the joy that comes with the season.

This year I’ll have flowers available for Easter sourced from Ontario Growers. In a pastel palette these flowers will be available as our signature bouquet or as a vase arrangement

Photos as example, each bouquet will be individually made and as such one of a kind 💐

Sharing my love of growing with this group has been so much fun! Their excitement as they discovered each variety is contagious 🥰

Dahlia Update!

The tubers I harvested this fall have held up exceptionally well in storage, based off what I’m seeing 90% will be viable to plant and take cuttings from - which is very good odds! Some of the varieties that aren’t storing as well are being pulled out now, in hopes to take some cuttings while the tuber is still viable.

Cuttings will produce an exact clone to their mother plant/ tuber, making it a quick way to multiply stock and a method I had great success with last year!

It is also the season for some WILD tuber sales, where some varieties sell out in seconds! I am well on my way to adding dozens of dahlia varieties to my collection this year that I can’t wait to share with all of you!

Congratulations if you made it all the way to the end of some dahlia nerd talk! Please note I am not at a point in my tuber stock to offer and kind of tuber sales, but do stay tuned right here for cuttings available locally!

Stay well flower friends 💕💐

Dahlias pictured were all grown from cuttings last season!

From the Flower Diary:

We have officially reached the point in the dahlia growing season that scares me the most: digging and dividing tubers.

Each time I put the potato fork in the ground I hold my breath hoping I don’t pierce any (so far so good 🤞🏻).

And then comes the dividing. As luck would have it, the first varieties I dug produced wild clumps - which is great because it multiplies what I’ll be planting next year, terrifying because dividing such impressive clumps is like the flower farmer version of Operation, it’s precise!

If you’re looking for me for the next week or so, I’ll be ever so carefully coaxing each clump out of the ground to prepare for winter.

Last year I only lost 3 tubers during storage, hoping for similar results this year 🤞🏻🙈

Happy Thanksgiving 🧡🍂

I am beyond thankful for all of you this year for helping a once upon a dream grow into so much more. To everyone who has purchased my flowers for themselves, to share with others. To those who have cheered me on from day one. To those who have shared my posts along the way. THANK YOU 🧡🥹

To my family & friends who have acted as delivery drivers, and have pulled weeds.

Taking some time this rainy weekend to drink extra coffee, enjoy time with family around the table.

Again, Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you enjoy the time doing what you love most 🧡

From the flower diary:
Right now I’m in the thick or dahlia season (and glads, zinnias, snaps, sunnies too). I’ve been a bit behind in sharing daily “What’s At the Farm Stand” updates. There are so many new blooms everyday I can hardly keep up! This time last year not a single dahlia had bloomed yet, the difference a year of trying different things can do truly blows my mind and as I sit here in disbelief that I actually grew these, I am excited for what’s to come. Never in my wildest dreams (and they’re wild - ask the guy who listens to all my wild ideas over dinner, random phone calls and middle of the night), did I think that I would find something that fulfills me the way growing flowers does 🥰🥺

To my friends and family who receive daily flower updates, thank you for your encouraging words and tolerating another photo of my favourite flower of the day.

Flowers truly are a luxury item to purchase and I am so grateful for everyone who treats themselves, and those who treat others to them as well 💕

Happy Friday flower friends! This weekend we’re doing something new…. Our first market! We’ll be camped out all weekend at the Drayton/ Mapleton Fair, which also happens to be one of our hometown Fairs - Palmerston is also one in which we call home, and it’s coming up in two weeks time ☺️ to say the least I’m both excited and nervous for this first market 🙈 how many bouquets to make? What if it rains? What if it’s too hot for the flowers to be out all day, and so on. But, what if it’s a smashing success?! What if I meet more local flower lovers?!

Staying on the sunny side, after all how can you not smile when you’re surrounded by pretty blooms 🥰 If you’re in the area this weekend stop by and say hi!

From the flower diary:
As this business grows, so does my knowledge not only on floral arrangements, but on growing quality flowers as well.

For three seasons, I’ve tried and failed at growing Larkspur (delphinium). This year - in a partial rage I threw the seeds in the ground mid April, the same time I planted my poppies. Not expecting anything to come up.

This afternoon while harvesting MORE snapdragons, I noticed this single bloom in my favourite colour - purple.

There are so many lessons I’ve learned so far, and countless more to learn. I know I’ll fail 1000s more times along the way, but I grow better in hard dirt, always have, always will.

I wish I could say have patience, but I can’t as I very seldom do myself, however what I can say is breathe. Slow down. Keep trying, and eventually something will bloom.
