Blooms, Buds, and Busy Days
Life on the farm has been a whirlwind lately, but an absolutely delightful one! The cherry blossoms are bursting into bloom alongside a sea of daffodils, creating a breathtaking sight.
It was our first time hosting such workshops, and the turnout was beyond wonderful. I'm already looking forward to hosting more in the future. While we're taking a break from workshops for now, after Mother’s Day, we'll dive headfirst into event season, bringing our farm-fresh flowers to weddings, showers, and other special occasions.
With prom season upon us, our shop has been buzzing with activity as we create these fun, whimsical corsages and boutonnieres. Mary is learning the ropes quickly and will undoubtedly become a valuable asset in no time. I jokingly told her that while some people mow lawns for extra cash, she'll be making corsages and boutonnieres!
The ranunculus are starting to bloom beautifully, just in time for Mother’s Day. Our shop is open for preorders, and we're thrilled to offer 100% homegrown blooms. This year's ranunculus crop is the best we've ever had, so much so that we're even offering them as standalone bouquets. You can check out our Mother’s Day Shop for more details.
In addition to our usual spring hustle of sowing seeds, planting, and harvesting, we've been diligently documenting all the flowers we grow. It's a special project that we began last year and one that we know will take years to fully develop.
The days are filled with planting, weeding, designing, planning, and wrangling little ones. We have a couple of major projects in the works that I can't wait to share with you all soon. Here's to the hustle of spring—cheers!
