from springtime bulbs to first frost, the Churchview flower gardens are a special kind of controlled chaos 🌺🤪
each flower bed is the result of numerous people, shared knowledge, meetings, spreadsheets (so many spreadsheets),dreams, and colorful catalogs. and like most things “farm,” every bloom you’ll see this year involved plans started well before previous season ended 🗒️
our perennial flower gardens & annual cutting beds (there are 19 on property) are a big part of the attraction here at CVF for our guests. but just as importantly, they’re a habitat and food source for our pollinators & beneficial insects 🦋🐞🐝
they’re also a hands-on learning tool. we are constantly experimenting, changing, making mistakes, adjusting, and learning. and isn’t that a big part of the beauty of gardening? we think so 💚
if you want to learn more about all things flowers - from growing and maintaining to cutting and arranging - stay tuned for a variety of 2025 classes, workshops, and flower-based events at CVF with our farmer friends of Grow Pittsburgh and Collette of 👩🏻🌾🌸
see you soon!
