Locally-grown, seasonal flowers delivered in Metro Detroit. Cut flower seeds, bulbs and corms for small space growers.

15/01/2025

Meanwhile in Michigan…

The growing season will start again with planting out in early March and the first of the tulips arriving on scene in mid-late April.

In the meantime, January is for presprouting corms, end-of-year book keeping, finalizing all the plans for this growing season, and catching up on all the deep-cleaning housework and self care that I neglected in late summer and fall when I was high on flowers but low on internal resources. (Sometimes we check off tasks from the comfort of our blankies. 😻)

I haven’t done a great job of promoting the summer flower subscriptions, but it’s about 75% full and I would love to get you on my delivery route for July through September. All the details are in my webshop. 💐💖

There’s so much going on in the world right now, and I’m doing my best to see the beautiful things and be the good. I hope you’re taking care. 🙏

Seed swap AND seed shop are open! 💐

If you don’t have seeds to swap but your 2025 plans include getting your hands in the dirt, I put together a collection of intro-level specialty cut flower seeds to try out your own cutting garden. It includes both of my custom color mixes for two types of zinnias that are tried-and-true favorites. You’ll also receive a free packet of seeds with purchase which is lemon basil — an easy to grow foliage with an amazing scent that will complement your home-grown flowers.

Seed swappers receive a coupon code for free shipping on any seeds from my shop after purchasing the swap.

Let’s grow some beautiful blooms this season!

Paperwhites to celebrate the new calendar year. We’re in no hurry to take down the window garlands full of twinkly lights. ✨✨✨

It’s 18° here, but the sun is shining. Hope it is where you are, too. 🌞🤞🏼

Do we want to continue the flowers-only seed swap this year? Please vote in the poll button in this caption (IG.)

For the last 5 years my flower seed swap has connected gardeners and flower growers across the country for a little winter fun, seed stash diversification, and garden planning fuel. 💚

Registration would open January 6 and your 20 packets of seeds would need to be postmarked to me by January 31. (That is a hard deadline, friends.) US only. Full details are in my webshop if you haven’t participated in a seed swap before.

I would be limiting this to just 20 folks this year. Please let me know if we should continue or take a break. 🙂

Wishing you all a beautiful day of gratitude! 🧡

November so far ✨

1) The view this morning. Still no frost or freezing temps yet which is usual for us.

2) New fave glaze combo on serving plates I made with my dried flowers and grasses.

3) Back with for her winter porch pot season. I love making greenery base layers so she can work her magic with all the gorgeous design elements.

4) These backlit canna leaves. Full stop. 😍

5) Final vases for my last few weeks at the community studio. Our art therapy program was abruptly cancelled which has been challenging for all the participants, myself included. Finalizing next steps and working towards getting my own kiln so I can be free to create. 🤞🏼

6) Tulip planting. Waiting on my final bulb order to arrive! (See #7)

7) Fusarium-riddled tulip bulbs from the wholesaler that went straight into the trash. PSA if your bulbs are anything but a beautiful cream color and firm to a light squeeze, it’s probably best not to plant them.

8) Mugs I made for a customer appreciation gift, but they didn’t pay their bill. I know it’s tacky to say that out loud, but I think it’s important to keep it real. Growing specialty cut flowers is beautiful work, but hard work like any other small business. 🙏

This month has been beautiful yet challenging for so many of us. Wishing you bright and hopeful moments in the coming days. ❤️

The last handful of dahlias for the season. 🌸

Still no hard frost here and no freezing temps in the forecast, but it’s time for the dahlia tubers to be dug up and divided. Taking full advantage of these unusual temps in this mid 70s for this wet and dirty job. Grateful to be tucking away tuber gold to be planted again next season.

My tulip bulbs have been delayed in shipping for over a week, but once they’re here and planted the fall tasks will be complete.

Soil blocking trays have been washed and are ready to start seeds in December, February, April and beyond.

It’s the final push, and it feels so good to be ready to plant out seedlings and corms come March. 🙏

14/10/2024

The time has come to close down the shop for fresh flower orders. Today (Monday, October 14) at 5:00p is the last chance to order an arrangement for delivery on Friday morning.

I’m ready to shift gears to final annual bed cleanup, topping off all beds with compost so they’re ready for early spring planting, get the dahlias dug up and their tubers divided for winter storage, and plant the tulip bulbs.

Reminder to current flower subscribers that renewals are open just for you until October 31. Please check your email for the private links I sent out. 2025 subscriptions open to the public on November 1.

Thank you again for a beautiful season of blooms. 🙏💐

10/10/2024

Last call for the season! Special order arrangements will close on Monday, October 14, at 5:00pm for delivery on the morning of Friday, October 18.

I can’t thank you all enough for your support this season. I’m incredible grateful to spend my time growing beautiful blooms and designing ceramic vases that make arranging easier for you when it comes time to refill them with your own flowers. 🏺🌸 💖

Subscription bouquets go out this Friday and next Friday, and then stay tuned for some recaps of the season. There was so much flower joy. 🥹

Heading out today to finish fall planting for the early spring blooms. 🌼

The seedlings will establish roots in the remaining warm, sunny days and ride out the winter under frost cloth to bloom in the spring. It’s a little later than I would like to be planting seedlings, but hopefully better late than never.

This has been one of the most challenging growing seasons I’ve encountered to date. Growers never anticipate everything will go perfectly. Some crops will flourish one season and not so much the next. Weather and pest pressures are different every year, but *every* season is beautiful. Wins and losses go hand in hand, and I love the challenge.

Sowing hope for next spring. 🙏

Wrapped bouquets and bud vase poseys are available for one final day, Sunday, September 29, 11-5, at The Rabbit Hole 💐

So much flower goodness and fall texture! The sweet annie smells amazing, and much of the bouquet can be dried to enjoy through the cold season.

DYK The Rabbit Hole opened a second space right next door to their current shop? Pop over to their page for a preview of all the super chic vintage home decor and then please swing by to check it out in person and grab a bouquet, too.

Huge thank you to The Rabbit Hole and their amazing community for all of the locally-grown flower support this season! 💐💖

100% obsessed with the colors and textures that went out this morning for subscribers and special orders. Serious September vibes. ✨

Big chonky stems of scented geranium and the last of the lemon basil for the season added a nice, soft fragrance.

Beds have been cleared of the first summer succession and are being replanted and reseeded for spring blooms. 2025 is well underway. 🧡

I made a few more of my ceramic centerpiece-style vases. 🏺

Of course they’re delivered filled with locally-grown flowers, but I designed these to be easy for you to create your own centerpieces without the use of mechanics like chicken wire when you’re ready to refill with your own blooms.

I’m still delivering on Tuesday and Friday mornings until Mother Nature decides we’re done for the season — usually late October but I have a feeling it may be a couple weeks earlier this year?

Arrangements are always available to order in my websh🌸p to send a Happy Birthday, Congratulations, or just because.

I had a feeling this one was different! 🦋

I get a lot of swallowtail butterflies here because I’ve planted their native host plants: Golden Alexander for Black Swallowtails and Spicebush for Spicebush Swallowtails. I see Eastern and Giants, too.

While harvesting last week I saw this Pipevine Swallowtail out of the corner of my eye and couldn’t believe it!! ✨

Here in SE Michigan the native hosts plants for pipevines to lay their eggs on to become caterpillars that eat that plant until they’re ready to form their chrysalis and eventually eclose as butterflies are:

• Dutchman’s Pipe*
• Virginia Snakeroot
• Wild Ginger

I did plant wild ginger a year ago, but I don’t think it’s established enough yet to support the larval stage. This was probably just visiting from elsewhere.

Every year I expand the biodiversity here and every year I see a new insect, bee, caterpillar, butterfly, bird, etc. Grateful for this moment!! 🙏

Have you seen anything new in your garden this season? Were you able to identify it? 💚

*Please research the appropriate natives for your region and make sure to plant the right pipevine as one variety is toxic to them.

The locally-grown flower goodness that went out into the world today. 💐

Sweet and whimsical for a special anniversary 💖

Bright and punchy for

Fun and funky for

Dahlias dahlias dahlias for subscriber bouquets! Sorry about the yellow but I feel like Henry Eilers shouldn’t count. 😬😇

What a gorgeous time of year for these happy blooms!

If you had marigolds, statice, salmon zinnias or the cute Rudbeckia ‘Henry Eilers’ in your bouquet or arrangement today, grew them. Grateful for the camaraderie and your mad growing skills, Ruth! 🧡

Hi, I’m Jolon. 👩🏻‍🌾💐

I get all kinds of creative pronunciations of my name, but it’s J-oh-l-on. Emphasis on the second syllable “lon.”

My first peppermint zinnias and mammoth sunflowers bloomed 13 growing seasons ago, and when the goldfinches and butterflies started to visit them I was hooked. While I spent lots of time on my grandparent’s farm as a kid, I realized that my adult life in the city had disconnected me from the natural world. I wanted that connection back.

Now I grow flowers in our little urban sanctuary to bring you joy from spring through fall. The flowers in your bouquets and arrangements have been blessed by all kinds of pollinators here in my no-spray zone, and I hope they’re a happiness booster in your life.

Do you remember the first time you really connected to flowers? Please share if you’d like 👇

Maybe you want your bouquet to match your hair and necklace, maybe you don’t. You do you, boo. 💁🏻‍♀️❤️

Amazing first day at the Canadian Regional Conference! Great words of wisdom on doing weddings from and a fantastic design workshop by .

Looking forward to day 2 at tomorrow. Can’t believe I’m actually here after following Melanie’s beautiful farm here on IG for years. Her hard work shows and it’s even more beautiful in person.

Much more to share tomorrow. 💐

My friends at like it *bright* and Friday at 11a we DELIVER! 💐✨

I have been craving serious color in my own life lately, and omg will these bring you the color joy, too.

Wrapped bouquets and bud vase poseys available Friday through Sunday or until sold out.
📍3048 Sashabaw Rd, Waterford, MI

Big thanks to and her 🔥🔥🔥 growing skills — her marigolds were the perfect touch for these babies!

Beautiful rose lilies for subscribers this week and early next week. Then so long until next year. 🌸 The bulbs I planted out this spring did much better than the ones I perennialized from last summer. It will be interesting to compare results again next year. I’m always trying new things to find what grows best for me and adds something special to bouquets and arrangements for you. 💖

As always, subscribers chose between an arrangement or a bouquet subscription for their summer blooms 💐 Arrangement subscriptions are perfect for folks who just want to enjoy already arranged blooms or for businesses who need a ready-to-display design. They’re easy to transfer from the jar they’re delivered in to a favorite vase. Bouquet subscriptions are for folks who enjoy taking a moment to create their own arrangements. It can be as simple as trimming the stems to the height of the vase and tweaking the placement of flowers here and there. This season I’m planning to show you more easy tips for arranging your bouquets. Stay tuned ✌🏼

We’re still getting things put together back here after the patio and porch replacement, but I’m slowly reclaiming my spot! 🌿 I really rely on this patio space for a moment of zen, a minute of morning sun on my face, listening to the birds, and generally taking a break from the world. Bonus every time my shoulder brushes the apple mint and holy basil in the big containers next to the chairs. 👃🧘🏻‍♀️ Do you have a favorite chill spot in your garden? If you don’t have a garden, maybe a park? Where do you like to go? 💚

We have company coming this week so I wanted to give the front pots a tiny refresh. 🐰 I replaced some of the spent bulbs with a unique heuchera and some lady’s mantle. This sweet terracotta bunny butt I made for spring came back from firing this week. Love love. Hope you all find little things to bring you joy this weekend! 🌷 #flowerchurch #handbuiltpottery #metrodetroit

The solar eclipse was even more amazing than I imagined it would be! 🌞🌝 @feral_detroit brought the best activities and experiments! We made cyanotype prints as the sun approached totality and had a toast with N/A Sunbrew. What a fun day! Anyone else see an eclipse for the first time today? 🙋🏻‍♀️ #flowerchurch #solareclipse2024 #locallygrownflowers

So happy with how this little batch of ruffled vases came out! Cannot wait to fill them with anemones, ranunculus, and all the spring bloom cuties. They’ll be available in May. 💐💖 #flowerchurch #handbuiltpottery #urbanflowerfarm #alllocaleverything #metrodetroit #detroit

If you’re celebrating love next week I just added some new everlasting arrangements to my shop. 💐 Locally-grown, air-dried flowers arranged in my handbuilt ceramic vases. You’ll love the ease of arranging into this vessel once fresh flower season rolls around, too. No mechanics necessary! Skip the imported, chemical laden 🌹 in favor of a more sustainable option this holiday and always. 🙏🏼 Just 3 available. Delivery only. All the details are in my shop, but please message me with questions. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #flowerchurch #driedflowers #urbanflowerfarm #handbuiltceramics #metrodetroit

Today we are halfway between the winter solstice and spring equinox! ✨ Imbolc, a Gaelic festival celebrating the returning light and awakening of the natural world, is celebrated on February 1. While we still have plenty of winter weather ahead here in SE Michigan, little hints of spring are just around the corner. Sustainable moment of creativity: freeze some of your dried flower stash & water in a bundt pan or any freezer-safe vessel you have on hand. Enjoy your ice sculpture in all its forms as it melts. 🌸💖 Are you seeing any signs of spring where you live? #flowerchurch #imbolcaltar #driedflowers #metrodetroit

The sunshine + my neighbor’s wind chimes was just a magical little moment. ☀️ ICYMI I’m doing a small seconds sale in my stories tonight at 7p Eastern time. They’re all functional ceramics pieces, but each have some flaws. I would love to find good homes for them so I can make room on my seed starting shelf. It’s that time! Platters will be local porch pickup only. Everything else can be shipped. All the details will be in my stories tonight. Thanks for looking ☺️ #flowerchurch #urbanflowerfarm #handbuiltceramics #metrodetroit
