Hello flower friends!

I am finally able to share the happy update that we have found a property for our new home and flower farm. After a long search over many months we purchased a lovely property with three open acres in Waldoboro, Maine.

We will be busy creating flower beds and planting perennials this season and hope to be open in the spring of 2025 with a wide array of cut flowers. Our trusty flower stand, Miss Myrtle, came with us to Maine. The stand will be open for the Christmas 2024 season with fresh evergreen wreaths and vintage holiday decor.

We will have lots of updates to share along the way so please stay tuned!

Need some floral therapy? We’ve got you covered!

Stop by our stand for some fresh and oh so colorful flowers to brighten your day. We have mixed bouquets and arrangements with sunflowers, lisianthus, zinnias and pink baby’s breath. Also, large sunflowers by the stem in a bunch of different varieties. The fuzzy ones are my current favorite.

One of this year’s trial flowers. I’ve never been a huge fan of baby’s breath. That is, until I found you can now grow it in PINK! Yes please, sign me up! It’s just starting to bloom so you can find this baby’s breath in the prettiest shade of pink in our bouquets for the next week or two.

Hi flower friends,

I have a bittersweet announcement to make. This will be our last season for flowers in Keene. We will be moving and expanding Catbird Flower Farm to midcoast Maine over the coming fall and winter. This is a difficult decision to leave our little corner of southwestern New Hampshire where we have so many wonderful memories.

But mostly, I want to express my gratitude for you, all my wonderful and loyal flower customers! Your support in purchasing my flowers, spreading the word about our farm stand with your friends and just all around good cheer has made this flower farm endeavor a joy. Stay tuned for an announcement about a little going away party for y'all at the flower stand. In the meantime, there will be flowers daily through August. 🌼💐🌸

For those of you with bouquet tickets, be sure to use them this month! They can be applied to any items of $20 value and can even be combined for a special order.

with love & gratitude,
Kristina

I’m trying to soak up as much peony loveliness as possible while I can. 💖💖💖

The season is winding down…we will probably harvest the last of them in the next 3-4 days. In the meantime, I’m loving this new color combination of deep red and coral.

You can find these cutie arrangements on the stand today and through the weekend while they last.
