Behind the Scenes: Sowing Seeds for Our Specialty Cut-Flower Collections

There’s nothing quite like the thrill of sowing thousands of seeds and watching them emerge with the promise of a stunning, garden-grown display.

I still remember how overwhelming it felt when I was first starting out—sifting through catalogs, wondering which seeds would sprout, and hoping my little seedlings would thrive.

That’s why we do the hard part for you—carefully selecting and nurturing varieties right here on our farm, many of them grown from our own saved seed. Each year, we offer a range of curated collections focused on qualities like color, texture, longevity, and ease of care. Our goal is to take the guesswork out of gardening, so you can spend more time simply enjoying your flowers.Pre-orders for our collections typically start just before December, and we’ll have your plants ready by Mother’s Day—strong, healthy, and eager to bloom in your garden. It’s our way of sharing the magic of seed-to-bloom gardening with you, without all the stress of hunting down and starting seeds on your own.

Here’s to a season brimming with color, fragrance, and the simple delight of homegrown flowers!
