Fresh local, and sustainable 💐These vibrant blooms are grown right here in Vernal, and the compostable vase means they’re as eco-friendly as they are beautiful.

I’ve heard mixed reviews of Florets Zinnia collections this year, to be honest I was a bit nervous I wouldn’t like mine once they started blooming. However, Golden Hour is so beautiful! I love the way that the petals get a pinkish tinge as they age. I do wish that there were more double petaled flowers instead of singles ( most are singles) I’m definitely saving seeds and planting a lot more for next year!

Hi 👋 it’s me the flower girl just trying to survive August! Two weddings and Utah Flower Day within a week took quite a bit of my floral and mental bandwidth. Hoping to get back into the swing of things this weekend . While myself and the flowers will be there, Poppy the flower trailer will not be attending. Look for us on the side closest to Antica Forma.

Just a heads up, I will not be at the Ashley Valley Farmers Market this weekend. The flower trailer will instead be at NAPA in Naples on Saturday! I will be there from 8 AM till 1 PM or bouquets sell out whichever comes first. Thank you for your support. Hope to see you Saturday morning!

If you missed out on a bouquet 💐 last weekend I will be at the Ashley Valley Farmers Market with the flower trailer again this weekend! Get there early so you don’t miss out on the blooms. If you need somewhere for your bouquet to stay while you make other purchases pay and pickup later. The market is from 9 am- 1 pm in the park next to the library. Hope to see you there!

This is what the flower trailer looked like before, during, and after the build! Initially I had hoped to keep the metal sides, however; the rust from years of use had ate through the bottom of the side panels meaning they had to go! Instead of replacing with sheet metal I chose to add a bit of character with the wood. From there my dad spent hours fabricating while I sanded, stained, and clear coated everything. There are still a few additions coming to the trailer which I will share as they happen!

13/07/2024

I’m sold out for today! Hope to see everyone next Saturday same time same place. Thank you so much for supporting my small business. ☺️

13/07/2024

Today’s American grown flower is: Bells-of-Ireland. Moluccella laevis ( species name) or more commonly known as shell flower or Bells-of-Ireland are actually native to Turkey and the caucus mountains. Did you know the flowers themselves are small white blooms and the green shell we think of as the flower is actually a modified leaf? I love them for the texture and height they bring to an arrangement.

Today’s American grown flower is: dahlia. Known for their wide variety of bloom colors, sizes, and forms dahlias are a favorite of many. Dahlias are native to Mexico and Central America where they were utilized by the Aztecs to treat epilepsy. This blooms downfall is a local growers selling point, they do not ship well! That hasn’t slowed the demand for dahlias at all in the wedding and event industry, many growers specialize in these seasonal blooms.

Today’s American grown flower is: sunflower. 🌻 These bright, bold, summer beauties are a fantastic cut flower. With advances in breeding and genetics there are a wide variety of colors and shapes to choose from. I personally stick to the “Procut” series since they are consistent and come in a variety of yellows, oranges, reds, and everything in between.

Happy Independence Day! Have fun and stay safe out there, you can’t hold a bouquet of local flowers if a firecracker takes your fingers off 😜

Today’s American grown flower is: Lisianthus. Also referred to as Eustoma or Prairie Gentian, this cut flower was bred from an American native wildflower (last photo). We love this flower on our farm for its rose like appearance without the pest pressure or thorns! This year we are growing a variety of colors including: apricot (pictured), lavender, light pink, dark pink, and terracotta.

Chopped off a few handfuls of short statice. The cotton candy colors reflect our sunset clouds ☁️ These shorties will dry in a cool place for future flower projects!

09/06/2024

Check out this pretty pink poker statice flower, this is my first time growing this variety. It’s giving Veronica flower vibes for sure!

I planted out Silene ‘Blushing Lanterns’ tonight. This funky whimsical perennial was one of my favorite additions to a wedding I did last fall. The bell shaped flowers are the perfect little something unexpected in your designs. I chopped them back pretty hard prior to planting, swipe to see how beautiful they were when I picked them up from Snuck Flowers.

I’m so excited to be joining the Utah Cut Flower Farm Association serving as their Secretary. It’s truly such a great organization that’s helped me out on my flower journey. I can’t wait to give back to others as they begin theirs or look to deepen their floral education.

We are thrilled to introduce you to KailCee Harrison, Utah Cut Flower Farm Association’s new Secretary! Her passion for growing flowers at and background in agriculture make her such a great addition to the board!

Here is a little more information on KailCee:

“After spending her childhood farming and playing in her grandparent’s floral shop, founding a flower farm seemed like a natural choice for KailCee. Free Spirit Flora began after 3 a.m. Youtube deepdive into the floral industry abroad. After learning how flowers are grown, harvested, and sold on a massive scale in Holland, South Africa, and Columbia she felt that there must be a simpler, more sustainable way to produce flowers. Her grandparents told her stories of carnation farms in California, rose hot houses in Utah County, and how it used to be easier to purchase locally than it was to buy abroad. Inspired by the idea she set out to grow and share her flowers with her community. When she isn’t farming you can find KailCee hiking in the mountains or traveling with friends.”

KailCee, we couldn’t be more excited to welcome you to the team!

I’ve gotten a lot of new followers lately so it feels like a good time for a little re-introduction. Hi there 👋 I’m KailCee, the farmer florist behind Free Spirit Flora. I’m passionate about American grown flowers and sustainable floristry. This lead to me founding Free Spirit Flora, a flower farm with a focus on specialty flowers grown right here in the Uintah Basin.

My favorite flower changes with the season so don’t be surprised when I post 50 times a summer about my favorite, right now I’m loving Lisianthus. It’s all the shape and petals of spray roses without those pesky thorns! She also comes in a wide array of colors you won’t find in roses.

When I’m not planting, designing, deadheading, or pulling weeds I enjoy hiking, reading, traveling with my friends, and loving on my dogs. I hope you will come pick up some of my flowers from the Ashley Valley Farmers Market or reach out via DM. I’m booking weddings for spring and summer of 2024 as well.
