Edit: And that’s a wrap for this flower season!

Here it is! What is likely to be the last Flower Stand of the season (unless the first holds off a little longer, then I might be able to gather one more bucket)!

I made less, but bigger this time, so there are only two that aren't claimed by the CSA, who get first dibs. 😉

$20/ea pick up
$25 delivered

Mums, dahlias, zinnias, snapdragons galore... sounds like a Halloween bouquet 😂

We have flowers! After a few weeks making wedding bouquets and shower arrangements, we are back to having bouquets to sell. 🙂

The flowers are starting to slow down a bit, but my zinnias are still going strong along with my dahlias! We should have at least a few more weeks of flowers, depending on the weather.

Today there are only 3 that haven’t already been claimed and they are pictured here. Comment on one if you’d like it and send me a Venmo!

So, my main job is an artist and illustrator and I love it when the flowers and the drawings and landscapes all come together. :) I pressed a few flowers and am thinking I might have to do some landscapes with these dried flowers brought in…

I still have three bouquets left. Also! Check out this gorgeous wedding bouquet!!! 😍 SO drapey and romantic.

Hi friends! We’ll have a few bouquets tomorrow (Saturday)! I have a whole bunch of these gorgeous, fluffy looking China asters. 😍 I’m putting together flowers for a wedding, but all the ones (like these asters) that don’t work with that color scheme will go into some vibrant pink bouquets with rich purple amaranth. 🙂

Hey Flower Stand peeps! Summer is winding down and it's almost fall. The summer flowers are slowing down, and things like dahlias are (hopefully) starting to kick in. I'll be picking flowers this evening and will have bouquets ready tomorrow.

Let me know if you’d like one!

$20 for delivery Thursday evening

This week I have a few special orders, so no flower stand sales this week. Instead, enjoy looking looking at this sweet arrangement for a dear friend’s 70th birthday, and this brightly colored bouquet! Assuming all goes smooth, I should have another round next week Tuesday!

Then the week after the flowers will all be going to a bridal shower as well. Enjoy this beautiful weather while it’s here! Fall is right around the corner.

12/08/2023

This drying rack with the desk top was generously gifted to me, so before posting on marketplace, just wanted to see if anyone here wants it?

08/08/2023

Flowers are out and ready for pick up! Right know they’re on my porch bench, if I get the energy this afternoon I’ll move them to street, but I’m still pretty wiped out from whatever this illness is, so we’ll see. 😬

Hi Flower Stand Friends! I'll be picking flowers tonight and plan to have bouquets tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday)! I'll have some gorgeous white cosmos, some snapdragons, zinnias, yarrow, pincushions, sunflowers, flax and one bouquet will have the first of my dahlias. 🙂

We’re almost back in town after being gone for a week. I’m hoping to have some flowers Tuesday morning (here’s hoping I’m finally over being sick). I’ll keep you posted, but I’m the meantime, enjoy this photo of a couple roses looking absolutely stunning in the nighttime glow. ☺️

28/07/2023

It was a “get up early, take some DayQuil and started picking flowers” kind of day! Getting ready to put together a bridal bouquet and 4 bridesmaids bouquets.

Walking in to the dining room from the hallway caught my breath. So beautiful to walk in to a table full of flowers!!! The wedding colors are cream, rusty orange and navy blue. Luckily we happened to have all of those colors! I’ll show you the bouquets tomorrow!

19/07/2023

I’ll have another flush of bouquets in a couple weeks, so check back again, OR you can sign up for a CSA (link will be in the comments) for 5 bouquets delivered to your door throughout the summer. I only have 9 slots left for CSA’s.

I’ll have a large number of flowers tomorrow! 6 bouquets. Lots of snapdragons and sunset coneflowers, a few roses, Queen Anne’s lace flowering to***co…

$20 each for delivery with vase.

$15/ea

Venmo: Leah-Morrison-21
Or Cash

Comment under the bouquet you want, if you'd like to reserve one. Last time I kept them in the cooler with ice water and it worked really well.

29/06/2023

Ok! It took me a bit and thanks to the Weebly support team, I was finally able to get the CSA Flower Bouquets added to my website! It’s the website where I sell my art prints, but that’s the easiest place for me to gather the information I need to create a delivery route.

The link is in the comments.

This gets you 5 bouquets delivered to your house throughout the summer (July-September) every 2-3 weeks. I have 10 spots I can guarantee flowers for and all extra will be available to purchase.

If you’d like to purchase a 10 bouquet package (which would be one bouquet every 1-2 weeks, let me know in the comments and I can add that option.

Last thing, I’ll have bouquets available this afternoon for purchase. Some roses, zinnias, snapdragons, cosmos, honeywort, etc. Thank you all for your support!

20/06/2023

We have FLOWERS! It’s been so hard to tell with this dry hot weather if they’re making it. 😬 But we have SIX bouquets today! They’re ina cooler ready for porch pick up at 1614 Giddings Ave.

$15/ea since the roses are a little past the ideal time and they aren’t loving the heat.

And little Lu put a couple together herself. 🙂

Venmo is Leah-Morrison-21.

15/06/2023

I had 3 more bouquets today, but they were all claimed by people in the text thread before I got a chance to post them on Facebook. Thank you to everyone who bought one! I brought back a bit hope. 🙂

Message me your number if you want to get on the text thread for first dibs and find out as soon as fresh flowers are available!

I should have a couple more pink rose bouquets coming with a week, not sure if my ranunculus have shut down already due to that heat wave we just had, but we’ll see. 🤞

11/06/2023

Well bummer. It’s happened twice already this year where either someone took a bouquet or fresh goods without paying, or someone took money from the box. Last time I was hoping maybe it was just a mix up.

I still have some lettuce and 2 white bouquets available, but I’m hesitant to put them out again tomorrow… 😕 So I’m going to put them on my porch (lettuce in the cooler), if you’d still like some fresh garden lettuce or a bouquet, feel free to stop by.

I also haven’t been selling enough bouquets for it to make sense continuing to do. Lots of interest and love, just not enough sales. I’m not saying I’m closing, (yet), but I do need to try and rethink how I’m doing it. Either smaller bouquets for cheaper or offer delivery, but I’d only have time to do that within the neighborhood or a close by neighborhood... I have some things to think about. Let me know if you have any feedback or ideas (mind you, this is purely a side thing, not a main job).

07/06/2023

No flower stand this week as all our best flowers are going to my kids fantastic teachers. They truly are amazing and I am so thankful for the teachers my kids have.

Hey there, Flower Stand friends! I just finished putting together 5 bouquets and this week's flowers are SPECIAL.

Every spring we try to build a garden for someone else. Last year it was the school garden, the year before that (or the other way around?) was a garden for my friend who missed the garden therapy from her old house.

This year it’s for my sweet Jojo. Well, she’s not MY Jojo, but she comes over to our house a lot. 😂 Last year one day I picked her up and she proudly showed me this lovely little tomato plant that she grew from seed on her own and took great care of. All she had to grow it in was a little pot. So this year my husband milled down some board and built her a box. We just filled it and put in some tomato plants, basil, and then planted some cucumber seeds, marigold, zinnias and we’ll be adding a few pepper plants as well. It’s amazing how much you can grow in a small space, as long as everything is carefully positioned and you grow some things vertically. :)

12/05/2023

Edit: I had more daffodils and other flowers than I expected! Only ONE daffodil bouquet is left (it’s the one with the purple tulip as well)! Let me know if you want it. 😉

I have bunches of lilacs for sale for $5 (it’ll be a large bunch since they only last a few days in the vase, even with treatment), and bouquets of daffodils with some mint and other spring fillers for $15.

Comment below if you’d like one and when you want to pick it up!

Also, if you want to get on our text list that gets sent out whenever we have fresh flowers, message me your phone number!

05/05/2023

Happy Friday! If you want to get text notifications alerting you to whenever there are fresh flowers, send me a DM with your phone number!

Getting word out that flowers are ready is probably my biggest challenge still, given that Facebook has algorithms and sometimes it lets me tag people, other times it doesn’t.

Also, I have some more daffodils that have just started/are about to bloom! Let me know if you want a bundle. These are $15/bunch. Enjoy your weekend!

28/04/2023

I have a two bouquets or daffodils; one with these adorable miniature flowers, and another with the peachy tones. $15/ea. comment below if you want one!

18/04/2023

It’s cold. Want some daffodils to brighten up your table?

Just look at these DAFFODILS!!! I planted a whole bunch last year in hopes I could do at least a couple bunches to see this spring. They’re just stunning. One of them makes me think more of an English tea rose or a peony! (Sadly don’t have enough of those yet for a bunch) And then there these adorable tiny ones.

I don’t have a lot of them at the moment, but I’d probably have one bunch of the Apricot ones (still not quite as long stemmed as some grocery store ones, but they’re not super short either), and then I think I have one, maybe two bunches of the tiny ones. Mind you they’re short and small, but will look so cute in a small glass bottle or small container.

I also have enough for one bunch of these white parrot tulips. They’re not as large or as tall as the grocery store ones either, but they are pretty.

Also note, these are all specialty bulbs, which makes them more expensive. 😬

Apricot swirl daffodils (8 stems) - $20 - SOLD

White Parrot Tulips (8 stems) - $20

Tiny Daffodils ”Erlicheer” (6 stems) - $15

One bunch of each. Comment below if you want them and what time you’d like to pick them up! :)

18/04/2023

First time with the soil blocker (seems like people either love it or hate it) and my seedlings have NEVER looked healthier!!! Im pretty positive it’s not just the soil blocking, but also the recipes I used from The Regenerative Gardener on YouTube.

So far I’ve done seed starting mix in little containers, buuut, This went so well, I’m sold. I tired pre-sprouting some of them and some them them worked with that, others didn’t. 😕

Also, the video cut out at the end. Battery died. 😂

06/04/2023

So far, transferring the anemones over to a different bed has gone alright! I think they should make it. 🙂

EDIT: and they’re gone!

Also, I should have just one bunch of anemones available on Saturday, just in time for Easter if anyone wants them? $10 for the bunch.

27/03/2023

Well friends, it’s happening. I knew it was always a possibility; there just is risk building garden in the easement, because it is city property but also if they need to work on the roads or pipes, they have to have access somewhere. Luck would have it, our easement is one of the ones that will need a very large hole dug.

I got a notice that we’d be having some construction and possible pipe replacement last year, reached out to the city planner to try and get an idea how much would need to be torn up. He was optimistic it shouldn’t be too much.

However the construction crew kindly walked over today to inform me that the hole would have to be much larger and that it would be a good idea to move most of it, just so they don’t get damaged. I appreciated that they’re giving me a couple week heads up, even tho they didn’t have to because it is city property.

The challenge I’m now facing is just a lot of work ahead of me and I don’t have many places that get full sun to grow things. And trying to protect the integrity of the beautiful soil I have been building and investing in these last few years. It just takes time to build healthy soil biology, bacteria and fungi which results in much stronger and healthier plants and much less disease prone.

But limitation breeds creativity and after the construction is done, there is opportunity to build better.

So just a heads up, I’m not actually sure how many flowers we will have this year; hopefully some, not likely as many. We shall see…

08/03/2023

Hey there everyone! Spring is coming!!! My anemones are just starting to bloom, my ranunculus are sprouting and getting ready to go in the ground soon, we’re getting the flower beds ready and the first round of seeds have been sown in the greenhouse!

I have not normally had enough spring flowers to make any bouquets, but I invested in a bunch of bulbs and corms last year in hopes to have enough anemones, daffodils, and ranunculus to add to make some bouquets!

If you’re new here, my name is Leah and I’m an artist and illustrator who lives on a quarter acre (it might even be less) in the Mulick Park neighborhood of Grand Rapids, MI. I have a small garden in my front yard where I grow a lot of flowers and vegetables. Throughout the summer, I pick flowers and arrange bouquets that are available to buy locally.

I grow them by the sidewalk because I want to make our neighborhood a place of beauty, and I make bouquets because I want to spread the joy flowers bring to other homes and people.

I don’t have set hours since I have another job and am a mom, so I pick flowers when they’re ready and when it works with my schedule. Then I’ll post on here to let you know when I have bouquets! However if I know in advance I can often have a bouquet ready to order as well. Feel free to introduce yourself and share your favorite flower!

29/10/2022

Good morning everyone! Frost has come and the flowers are done. The Flower Stand on Giddings is now closed for the season. Now it’s time to tuck the garden in for a long winter rest. She’s ready. 😉

The Flower Stand is a lovely little side hustle from my main job as an artist and illustrator. I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned on here before what I do, but it seems like a fitting time to share with you all. I love to paint fairies and have a 2023 calendar that I just released, along with prints available on my website, some of them landscapes or fishing villages (because I’m slowly trying to turn my home into an old English cottage), others are of the fairies.

I’ll post a link in the comments to my website if you’re interested in seeing more of the things I create! And you can follow my page Leah Morrison Creative if you’d like.

I’ll also be at Pour’d Art Gallery in Rockford on Nov 18 and 19 for a Holiday Artist Market, where I’ll be selling original paintings, prints, coloring pages, some ornaments and possible some dried flower bunches.

17/09/2022

The bouquet on her beautiful potting bench! ☺️😭 So lovely. You can’t tell from here, but the bouquet has some very fragrant roses, some blush dahlias and the best zinnias from the bunch.

16/09/2022

I just harvested some flowers and put together an arrangement for an order this weekend. The most AMAZING thing about it is the woman who ordered them used to live in this house! She stayed here with her sister when she first moved to GR. Her sister recently passed away and they were having family over in memorial and she thought it would be meaningful to have a bouquet of flowers from her sisters old house. How beautoful is that?!

I of course picked more than I needed. ☺️ I have two more bouquets for $15 each. Does anyone want them?

I haven’t been doing bouquets the last couple weeks since my kids now have more evening activities going on and the last several I’ve had quite a few leftover. I’ll still fill all order though and usually will have some extras.

26/08/2022

Bouquets are ready! Here’s hoping it goes better than last week. 😬 For the first time since doing the stand I had several bouquets disappear or get picked up, but no payment.

Which is sad because it usually takes me at least 4 hours to harvest, treat and arrange them each week, not to mention the time to grow and care for them. So hopefully today goes better!

I have two types of bouquets today:

1) pinks yellows and whites

2) pinks, purples and greens

3 of each. $15/ea, if you want to reserve one, comment on the one you like and then once I confirm it’s available, send in your Venmo payment!

I won’t be able hold the bouquet for you if you haven’t sent a payment, unfortunately.

The stand will be set up around 3pm today. Enjoy the beautiful sunshine! Because I can see fall peeking around the corner… ;)

23/08/2022

The Flower Stand will be open this Friday! I have another main job that will be taking my time tonight and tomorrow, so I won’t be able to harvest flowers until Thursday evening.

I’ll keep you all posted!

3 bouquets available today! Two white and one pink. Roses, ranunculus, poppies, yarrow… 😍 #flowers #flowergardening #bouquets

When I planted these daffodils, they were a variety I’ve never grown before, so I was quite sure what color they would be. Sometimes whites are really white, other times they’re more cream. And a month or two before I had out this package of tulips I liked in the ground, but didn’t remember that the tulips already there were orange. Happy accident, I ended up with one of my favorite color palettes! Look at these creamy colors!!!! This is currently my favorite place in the garden at the moment. ☺️

First time with the soil blocker (seems like people either love it or hate it) and my seedlings have NEVER looked healthier!!! Im pretty positive it’s not just the soil blocking, but also the recipes I used from The Regenerative Gardener on YouTube.

Oh my goodness! Look what I came home to! I think we’ll have to do some bouquets on Sunday!!! Keep your eyes out!

Spring Garden Tour

It’s always fun to see where the garden starts, how it grows and then how it ends. So I thought I’d show you what it looks like at the very beginning! I have lots of little annual seedling both inside and in the greenhouse, but last year I made a shift to adding more perennials. Because… duh! I can’t WAIT to see how the rose garden comes out this year! It’s the first garden I e done purely with colors, shapes and aesthetics in mind, but just how to efficiently get the most out of cut flowers. Just because I’m so excited, I’m add another post with the photos of the grouping of the roses bed flowers.

Microorganisms

Continuing to learn about the biology in our soil and how to improve it! The success of your garden has much more to do with whether or not these guys (and thousands of others) are in your soil then the exact nutrients. Most soil has plenty of nutrients buried in the clay, sand, and minerals, etc. the problem is accessing it. Plants can’t just suck up the nutrients in the soil. Instead they need a diverse system of biology. Bacteria - which provides nitrogen and makes phosphorus more soluble to the plants. Fungi - certain types of fungi actually attach themselves to the roots, the roots tell the fungi what it needs, the fungi go find it and bring it back to the plant, the plants feeds it with sugars. Nematodes - this little guy is a bacterial feeding nematode and he helps keep the bacteria levels in check by eating them, and what he poops out is a bunch of good stuff And Protozoa, Ameoba, etc. It’s a whole system that works together, making your soul ALIVE and a healthy environment for your plants. So, how do you get these guys in your soil? Stay tuned! I’ll share a few ideas in another post. ;)

What plants were excited about this year!

Spring time is coming and we are getting so excited dreaming about our garden this year. It never goes quite according to plan, sometimes seeds don’t sprout, or they dry out or we have issues with our watering (like last year) or who knows what. But in the spring, we’re always hopeful and excited. 🙂 Sometimes the kids like to help. Eve decided she didn’t want to play a main role in The Flower Stand this year (the girl LOVES information, not a big fan of physical labor 😂), but she still wants to be a part of it. So you’ll see a little less of her, but she’ll be around. Lucy loves putting together bouquets, so she’ll probably help me with those this year.

Our little worm compost bin

Remember last year when we got our worms? Here’s how it’s going. It’s doesn’t crank out massive amounts of compost (we would probably get more if we fed them weekly), but it still takes care of some of our food waste that doesn’t end up in the trash, it is doing something useful with it and it truly is super low maintenance for a forgetful person like me (I forgot about them for over a month and there are still plenty of worms in there!).

August Garden Tour

Just in case you aren’t able to come walk by, I decided to take you guys along with me as I survey the garden and what needs to be done (it’s been a bit neglected the last couple weeks, so there is a lot that has to be cut back, seeds to be collected, decisions to be made about fall planting, etc). Enjoy!

Bringing Your Bouquet Home: Part 1

Sunday tip from Ms Evey! Bringing Your Bouquet Home: Part 1: How to use the flower food packet. In the second video we’ll show you how we sometimes like to spread the bouquet around the house.

Treating Your Cut Flowers For A Longer Vase Life

Another video with some flower tips from your neighborhood flower girl! How to rest your flowers and why. BTW, @Floret Flower Farm doesn’t pay us and probably doesn’t even know we exist. Haha! They just have been an incredible resource for us and have taught us EVERYTHING we know. See comments for even last years bouquets vs this year. ;)

When’s the best time to water? Here’s another tip from Eve! Also, worth noting sometimes we water when it’s not ideal because that’s when we can and the flowers do just fine. ;)

Every evening my favorites place is to walk through the garden and look at every tiny flower flower or big that I see. As I sat on my front porch tonight, I saw a couple women pushing their little girl in a stroller and I hear her say, “ok are you ready? Here we go!” And the little girl just screamed with delight the whole way through the archway. 😂 It makes me so happy to see our little garden bring so much joy to our neighbors. I am IN AWE at the beauty of the earth. I thought I would take you with me tonight to walk through the garden. The lawn is thirsty and scraggly, but oh well. :)

How To Deal With Pests

For today’s tip, Eve is going to tel you about how we deal with 3 of the pests that we deal with on a regular basis: slugs, aphids and caterpillars/worms (the kind that just munch on things, not the ones that turn into pollinating butterflies 😉 ).

Super quick tip this morning: pinching! When, why and how. 🙂 Also, we forgot a couple varieties that need to be pinched so here is a list of the ones we know that need it: Sweet Pea’s Zinnia’s Dahlia’s Celosia Cosmos Basil Most of them need to be pinched when they reach 8-12” tall.

Just wanted to show you what eve was talking about in the difference between seedlings that we’re ready and ones that need more time. Side note: in addition to hardening off your seedlings on a cloudy day, you can also use a partly shaded area to get a similar effect. ;)

When and how do you transplant your seedlings outside?
