We may have had fresh snow the last few days but signs that spring is on it’s way aren’t hard to find! I am trying to hold myself back from starting too many garden seeds because we have a very busy spring and summer ahead of us! But these little wildflowers from our plantable paper are growing well and can’t wait to see them grow up! My plan is to plant these seedlings and direct sow some plantable paper in the spring and hopefully be able to show you how the paper grows from seed to flower!

Our printer is whirring away today as we are working on custom and wholesale orders! We are so grateful anytime someone choose us to make something for them or decides to put Verdant products in their store! It really mean a lot to us! 💕💕

What are you excited to grow this spring?

Every market we do, we have a different best selling product! Yesterday the Woodland Birthday card was the favourite closely followed by Hedgehugs, Have a Purrfect Day and Just Bee-cause! It is always fun to see what cards resonate with people! Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth yesterday in Beaumont!

January has been a month of catching up and reflection for Cherry Grove Florist. 2024 will be my 10th and final year of operating. It’s gone by so quickly! I dreamed big things 10 years ago when I started my floral business ! I wanted to grow and sell my own florals before it was trendy. I wanted to support my family and I wanted to be a light in the community. I feel that I’ve mostly done those things. I have endured a few hurdles along the way. Knee issues and Broken bones, not once, but twice, shingles and we all pushed through COVID.

Due to inflation and the rising costs of florals, shipping and supplies I have decided to close the everyday operations of Cherry Grove Florist. In 2024, I am committed and dedicated to creating beautiful florals for already pre booked events. If you have lost a loved one and wish for me to create their floral tribute, I will honour your special person. Both websites have been shut down and I’ll not be participating in the big flower days, like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Christmas.

I want to take the time and thank ALL of the people who have walked with me over the last 13 years of my floral journey. To the Florist Friends in Alberta, Canada, and Internationally; thanks for your encouragement, support and networking. I hope you learned a little from me, because I learned a lot from you! For those who taught me and continue those friendships. A great thank you to the local Businesses that encouraged and supported me throughout my entire floral journey; to my Staff that I still consider part of my family.; Hazel, Leah, Jan, Kristen, Mary, Ashley, Dustin and Pat. My greatest thanks go out to my Family and friends who stepped up in a big way, especially when I was broken and recovering; working, supporting, encouraging, delivering, cleaning up, and feeding me when I forgot to eat. I could have never done any of this without you or your belief that I could do this.

It has been an honour and privilege to have served Wetaskiwin and area over the past 13 years. Thank you so much . Please enjoy 10 of my favourite photos ♥️

Celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. Day today. I have to admit that I never gave it much thought before until I worked in a classroom where the teacher explained about the work he did for the civil rights movement. I believe we need his message of hope more now than ever before. I’m thankful for his insight and his vision. It takes a small step to continue his work in today’s society.
