Look at all these seedlings 🌱that have been growing in my basement, bathrooms, closets & tubs (don’t pull back the curtains) 🤪—some I’ve been nurturing since January. For those who may not know, I start all my flowers from seed, tuber, corm, or bulb in my home in Minneapolis, MN, and nurture them throughout the cold winter months. I also spend my days prepping, ordering, planning, calculating, and organizing all my farm needs & plans for the entire upcoming season. There is a lot more work to farming than most may realize, and if you’re anything like me, agonizing over which gorgeous flower seed has to be cut from my order to hit my budget is a time suck 🥴 - I want to grow them all. For those unfamiliar with farming, it’s a very It is the summer months that I am busy watering, harvesting, stripping, clipping, wrapping, and selling, which is busy too, but with a much different energy. The everyday beauty, quietness, and magic of nature that I get to be a part of every day in my gardens is like breathing again; my yoga - makes all the hard work worth it. I am so excited to plant all these babies (and many more) outside soon and cannot wait to share the gorgeous blooms with you soon. Send me a message if you’d like to join my flower club and flower subscriptions. ♥️🌱♥️🌱 #urbanfarmer #freshcutflowers

I always mean to share more about how I design without using floral foam & plastics, but I forget to take pictures. Today, I took a time-lapse video to show the centerpiece I created for a holiday party. Some florists are taking a big step towards being more sustainable, and I am proud to be one of them. Not using floral foam is a challenge, but I love thinking outside the box and happen to know a thing or two about building a good foundation 😆. In this time-lapse, you’ll see how I used chicken wire and layered the winter greens specifically to form a solid structure to hold all the gorgeous blooms in place. #nofloralfoam means the flower arrangement has been created without plastic, green floral foam. #nofloralfoam #sustainableflorist #sustainablebusiness #floralcenterpiece #wintergreens #holidayflowers #centerpieces #holidaydecor

Watch this fun time-lapse to see my 8 hour tile job 🤗 Added this gorgeous hand made moroccan clay tile for some added old charm. #kitchenbacksplash #womanbuilder #claytiles #yesyoucan #doityourself #oldcharm

Re-design moment…Cutting out a spot for a header and removing this wall to create more space in the lower level bedroom.

Tar paper has a proven track record of success. Homes across the world, are still standing because smart builders of old used tar paper as a weather barrier. Felt paper, also commonly referred to as tar paper, is an underlayment material applied to bare walls before siding is installed. Should any water get past the siding, properly-installed felt paper will act as a barrier to keep the water from damaging the wall sheathing or framing. #womanbuilder #yesIcan @homewithtrisha #buildwithbella @buildwithbella #waterproofing #exteriorwaterproofing

Framing basement walls! Just a few more cuts before it’s time to run kids to sports. Can’t wait to see this lower level finished. #womanbuilder #yesIcan #designer #@homewithtrisha #basementremodel #circularsaw
