Friends, my homegrown dahlia tubers are coming! In recent years this would’ve seemed late, but it’s right on time this year. It’ll be time to plant and eyes are showing. I’ll send to my email list first and then post here. I listing varieties online and have leftover tubers at the farmstand. Summer is coming…

Spring Farm Update

Hello dear flower lovers, it is time to share that I will not be offering my usual spring Flower Club this year. Many of you purchase for Valentine's Day, as it is typically the first opportunity as the farm begins to wake up. There are other flower farmers in the area that are offering lovely spring subscriptions.

While I am planning a slower year for personal reasons, I will have sporadic offerings of plants and cut flowers in 2022. At this time, the only subscription planned this spring is a Peony Flower Club in May (available on my website).

I am incredibly grateful for all of you reading this, and how you have supported this little joy project for the last 4 years. This farm is an extension of my heart and mind. Community around flowers has been the #1 biggest addition to my life since starting this farm! I look forward to how I can offer flowers to my community in a way that is sustainable for the long term.

Farmstand is stocked again!
Some fun dahlia picks prepping for my weekend wedding in autumnal tones. Loving this cool morning in the high tunnel, I’m so grateful for this magical space!

The most magical zinnia! And there’s a baby bee using this as a hotel, can you spy it’s little face?
🤍Seeds from breeding program. So happy the chickens didn’t win - I planted these near the chicken yard and the naughtiest ones tore my row apart. In hindsight I would’ve planted these in a much safer spot! 6 plants made it and I’ll be saving seed from them for sure!
🌾Farmstand is open an hour early! Limited supply of mixed bouquets today. I’m stretched thin on time.

Sweet Nathalie
I’m getting the dahlia rows under control today. They’ve been sort of neglected this summer so far and just blooming their heads off. I am rejuvenating them to get ready for the September Flower Club (sold out). I am cutting them way back, weeding the rows (bindweed is a major problem during harvest, it winds along the stems and is hard to remove), and will apply compost tea tomorrow. Cut dahlias today will be bouquets at the farmstand tomorrow and Friday! 10am until sold out.
Horn ln. @ Sunny drive. Self serve honor stand. I accept cash, Venmo or PayPal.

I’ve opened up the online flower shop while I’m in town this week! Pop over to my website if you’d like to send some love to yourself or another. Deliveries and free farmstand pick up available through Friday this week, and then I’ll be closing up the shop till early September. Also, I’ll be stocking the farmstand Wednesday and Thursday for self-serve mixed bouquets. Hope everyone is taking good care of yourselves, the world is a lot right now 💓

Farm tour in my stories!

Glorious echinacea with thornless blackberry tunnel in the background. I made this tunnel with cattle panel, mainly fir the kids to feel some magic on their way to the fort. When the blackberries started climbing it all felt so perfect. These thornless blackberries grow 15’ canes! Delish.

Back on the farm after a month and it’s a whole new season! When I’m on farm these flowers are all cut, so it’s super special to see them in full bloom! They are absolutely covered with pollinators, many species of native bees as well as honeybees. I’ll share more photos of the bloom in the coming days.

Hello friends, greetings from the Oregon coast! I am taking the month to recalibrate myself and spend quality time with my family away from the busy schedule of the school year. This has been the plan for a few years, to have a shoulder season farm.
🤍Selling flowers from spring equinox to summer solstice felt so right on so many levels this year. Y’all seemed pretty into it too! Those spring blooms are something special.
🤍The farm will be back with dahlias and other late summer crops August through October. I’m hoping to have a big marigold crop for Halloween, we shall see!
🤍We’ve got the high tunnel now so can play around with extending our season past the first frost.
🤍Having a strong spring takes a lot of work the year before, which is now! When I get back to the farm I’ll focus on seeding hardy annuals or cool flowers, they need to get in the ground and develop a strong root system before winter hits. They will overwinter, loving the cool temps, and be ready to bloom early next spring. For more info on this check out the book Cool Flowers by
🤍I am offering a dahlia Flower Club for the 5 weeks of September. Link in bio 😘
🤍I’ve got wedding dates available for September and October, find the weddings tab on my website to begin a chat.

Sweet little made in a found copper bowl. The bowl had just enough give to wedge them in so they didn’t move, and gave a little structure fir the stems to rest against.
🌱 Ingredients: pink echinacea, white daisy, bachelor button white, didiscus lacy blue, cafè creme foxglove, dusty miller, raspberry scabiosa

So pleased with these echinacea year after year. This year they are just for the pollinators and that makes me so happy.

06/30/2021

Ahh pure white roses 🤍
Tranquility from David Austin - long strong stems and many flowers on each.
White flowers though, I tell ya. Bugs love them the most! I don’t grow many whites because of this. But I can’t quit with these roses, even if they are a little big chewed, they still are just gorgeous!

💦 Stay cool everyone 💦I’m watering watering watering, like everyone else in the west under this record heat wave. The farm is officially closed until mid August. I’ll be off enjoying summer and spending quality time with my kids and family (hard to do when farm is full force!).
🪲Dahlia Flower Club announcement went out a few days ago, and you can sign up on my website! It doesn’t start till September but I expect it to sell out so don’t wait too long.
🦋After watering all morning, I made this fun garden rose bouquet with the live. My first time attempting a big cascading bouquet with a chicken wire armature. Challenging and fun, I need much more practice but I’m excited to play with a new technique. Snipping small sections of yarrow was a favorite tjo learned also, helps it be more airy and less blocky.

I have a love/hate with sweet peas. I’m really just growing then for myself, because I love them. Their scent, oh my! But they don’t sell well historically for me, so I don’t grow a big crop of them. These were all self sown from last years crop, so basically no Maintenence. I’m happy with them this way. I’ve got just enough to pick here and there for tucking into things and it always makes ma happy. Also, shout out to my flower loving friend @sumermaed - Happy Bday, the sweetest flowers make me think of youuuu 🌸 #wishyoucouldsmellthese #sweetpeas

I forgot to take a day off after Mother’s Day weekend, which was a huge weekend for flowers! I realized my last ‘day off’ was 2 weeks ago when I got my second shot and allowed time to feel sick. If I allow myself to stop moving in a day, my kids (and pets) will gravitate to me and we have sweet moments and conversations. I sure like being in motion, but as it is I almost have to retrain myself how to slow down and even stop. Which is a big part of the reason I have transitioned to a shoulder season farm. Having sales in spring and fall leaves me lots of time for being more present as a mama and as a human who can be depleted by always ‘selling’. Thanks for reading and enjoy the sunshine!

Farmstand is stocked up with Ranunculus bunches and Mixed Bouquets. Some baby plants out today too 🌸Check out my last post to see my Mother’s Day offering - link in bio 🌸Plant sale through this week! All plants are listed on my website 🌸Have a great Sunday!

Floristry has really taken off this spring and I’m so grateful. This was a memorial piece I did last week. The floristry is so gratifying; all the work and wait of farming coming together in an artistic way. It’s been hard to find time for farming though this spring, and I fear my plantings have gotten behind (lots of crop failures too). I’m relieved to know there are other local growers I can fall back on. We all work together, ya know.

It’s amazing how tiny some of these flower seeds are! Here I’m seeding some statice, hoping to have it for June bouquets. I love using it fresh, it’s so textural and multi stemmed so fills out bouquets nicely. I am pushing for everything to be finished up by the end of June so I need to really be on it with my seeding. Anything that is less than 100 days, I’m looking at you. So excited to see how my new high tunnel will expand my growing possibilities.

Doing some cathartic weeding in the way back tulip beds. I decided to make these rows *after seeding a winter cover crop, so I’ve got to remove what is coming up. We stacked many inches of compost on top, but there’s still about 30% coming up. Listening to @notillflowers with @butterbee_farm and @lovenfreshflowers and it’s so helpful!

Tulip planting, more tulip planting. 3,300 more arrived today. I hope y’all are as excited for tulips as I am!

Last chance for my local flowers, after this sunny spell my season will be over. I am taking bouquet and arrangement orders for about 10 more days! Get them while you can 🌻 lots of sunflowers, a few roses, and DAHLIAS! . . . . . . . #octoberflowers #oregongrown #oregongrownflowers #farmerflorist #flowerfarmer #flowerfarming #summerflowers #flower #floral #oregonflowerfarm #eugeneflorist #eugeneoregon #oregonflorist #flowerstagram #flowersofinstagram #flowerlove #flickertownesfarmette #flowerbouquet #abundantlife #simply_flowers #underthefloralspell #flowerdelivery
