☁️ What my pastel flower loving heart has been dreaming up this week

✨SUMMER GLOW

Week 3 of our summer subscription is everything summer is made of.

Summer is flying by and we’ve reached the point where we just can’t keep up with the garden. It magic. It’s exhausting. It’s all the work we put in during the winter paying off.

This bouquet has been in the making since January 1. It’s how we start our new year as a flower farmer, by seeding lisianthus. They are slowwwwwww growing. When they sprout, they are as tiny as a spec of dust and will stay that way for what feels like forever. But the blooms are so worth it.

With proper care you can expect 10-14 days from them. We’ve also tucked in a few of our peachy floret zinnias. Zinnias are what we refer to as a ‘dirty’ flower. The water in your vase will become murky quickly. Change the water frequently to ensure you get to enjoy the full life of your lisianthus.

🌷 HEY FLOWER LOVERS 🌷

We’ve noticed an increase in visitors who stop by the flower stand for a bouquet and then request custom arrangements.

We truly appreciate you stopping in to support our little farm by purchasing our blooms but this impacts our daily operations during this busy spring season. Spring is the busiest time for farmers as we’re fully immersed in planting seedlings, managing dahlia tuber orders, harvesting tulips, and preparing for markets.

Creating custom arrangements on the spot is challenging as our cooler is primarily stocked with wholesale orders, pre-ordered bouquets, and freshly harvested blooms awaiting processing.

We know what a feast for the eyes the flowers are though and want to get you the bouquet of your dreams! Here are some tips to help make that happen:

🌸Pre-order online for guaranteed availability and to save time during your visit.

🌸Check out our grab-and-go options for quick and convenient choices. We keep a small selection of bouquets on hand for those who love to make spontaneous flower purchases!

🌸If you’re seeking something specific, consider giving us a heads-up in advance.

🌸For the full experience of shopping our stand, stop by our Flower Truck at the farmers market!

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We can’t wait to brighten your day with our beautiful blooms!

✨I am blown away by the love and support we received through our dahlia sale! It was a smashing success and we couldn’t have done it without you♥️

A huge thanks to everyone who purchased tubers from the shop this weekend.

After an incredibly busy month, February is ending on a high note and I am so excited for the growing season to commence. Anyone else’s tulips already making an appearance?

There is still a good selection available of tubers that we had lots of to share. We’re closely monitoring the varieties that sold out quickly and may have cuttings of them available closer to planting season. So stay tuned flower lovers🌸

✨THE SUPER BLOOMERS CLUB

Meet our prolific blooming varieties. The workhorses of our dahlia patch! Not a week goes by without armloads of their stunning colourful blooms to harvest, share and arrange. Staples in our market bouquets.

The reason they are still in stock? They store well through the winter and produce ample tubers! Making them great for beginners learning how to store tubers and for those making the most of small spaces.

Easy ways to beat the winter sads

❄️Embrace the weather
Make your home a cozy haven. Grab a soft blanket, warm drink and curl up with a good book or that movie you’ve been meaning to watch.
Go for a walk. Visit Big White, Telemark or mission creek. Grabbing your favourite warm drink will help keep your hands warm.

🌿If you aren’t ready to go outside, bring the outside in by adding plants. I’ll take any reason to add a new plant! Hit tip: Home Depot just got in a fresh shipment of tropicals

💃🏻Move your body
You don’t need to hit the gym to benefit from cardio. Play your favourite songs and dance like nobody’s watching. Cardio is great for mental health and happiness.

👯‍♀️ Spend time with a loved one and check in on each other

🏖Start dreaming of warmer days.
Write a summer bucket list of hikes, beaches and parks to visit.

🌱Plan a garden. Stop in to buckerfields and pick out a few new seeds.

🏕Plan a vacation. Before you know it campsite bookings will be open. Pick out a few top locations to visit this summer so you’re ready to book!

Remember, it's okay to have low days, and incorporating these small changes can gradually improve your mood. Choose activities that resonate with you and bring a sense of comfort and joy.

💾Save this post so you can refer back to it and comment below how you’re beating the winter blues.

L I S I A T H U S

If you haven’t heard of this absolutely stunning flower, let me introduce you to her.

Delicately ruffled petals that resemble a rose. Comes in a wide range of colours that are unique only to this flower and has exceptional vase life of 2 or more weeks! A must have for the late summer bouquet.

For the amount of work that goes into growing this gem, I did not take enough photos to do her justice but believe me when I say she shined the brightest in each bouquet she went into.

The first seed we sow and one of the last to bloom in our field. Many growers give up on attempting to crack this one or relinquish themselves to purchasing as a plug. We don’t want to jinx it but we are on a roll already this year and can’t wait to see our hard work pay off in 7 months.

Can you name a more luxurious flower? We’ll wait.

✨The simplest way to start a garden? Direct seeding This means planting seeds outside straight into the ground. No lights, trays, soil mixes or fancy gadgets required. To do this, poke a hole in the ground with your finger or make a trench the length of your row, place seeds at the recommended spacing and cover back up with soil sprinkling with a bit of water to finish off the job. Make sure to eagerly check every day for signs of life poking through the earth 🌼 for no reason other than it’s fun. Some of my favourite varieties to start this way are Zinnias, Cosmos, Sunflower and Calendula. Have you ever direct seeded a garden? #gardeningtipsforbeginners #gardeningtips #gardening #gardeningathome #gardeninglove #gardeninglife #gardeningisfun #gardeningmakesmehappy #gardeningismytherapy #gardening101 #gardeningknowhow #cosmosflower #zinniasofinstagram #calendula #sunflowerlove #easytogrow
