One of my favourites because you just can’t beat this colour. This coral pink brings such a spring vibe to bright colour palettes, I just love it. #flowers #gardening #cuttinggarden #tulips #doubletulips #tulipcolumbus #grownnotflown #ontarioflowerfarmer #ontarioflowers #cutflowers

Adding more native plants to your garden is SO much fun as you start to see more birds, bees, and butterflies pretty much immediately! Some native plants can be directly seeded into your garden in the early spring, while others need a bit of treatment. One (easy!!) thing you can try is winter sowing, where you use clear, ventilated containers with soil, sow your seeds inside, and leave them outside for the winter! Here are some tips: Taller containers are better! 3” plus You need drainage holes in the bottom and top (or with jugs/pop bottles leave the lid off) Moisten soil before adding to your container Keep an eye, especially on warm/sunny days, you don’t want your soil ever to dry out In the late winter/early spring when you have larger seedlings you will want to start opening the tops so they don’t fry in their little greenhouses! Plant outside around your last frost date. Don’t forget to check what plants are native to your specific area! Have questions? Ask them here or DM me ❤️ AND I’m excited to be partnering with local native plant seed company @northern_wildflowers!

You can get a whimsical vibe at any time during the local flower season by using lots of different flower varieties and textures, but the very best time is in the spring and early summer.

I mean, pastel orange? Take all my money 🤗 #zinnias #cuttinggarden #cutflowers #growyourownflowers #flowerfarm #pastelflowers #gardening #flowers #flowergarden

I can't get enough of my echinacea. I've got ivory, cantaloupe orange, butter yellow, jewel pink and the classic native purple. It just gives that perfect vibe for summer florals. #nativeplants #flowers #cuttinggarden #echinacea #flowerfarm #hamont #grownnotflown #summerflowers #summervibes #wildflowers #locallygrown #ontarioflowers

Do you grow any weird plants? I'm sure there's more in my garden but this is what I found this week! #cuttinggarden #weirdflowers #locallygrown #grownnotflown #growyourownflowers #flowerfarm #hamont #cutflowers #flowers #florist #garlicscapes #gardening

When I do cutting garden consultations I always tell people to pick a palette or two and stick to it, especially when just starting out with growing cut flowers. BUT as you get more experienced and maybe even expand your space, you might have the room and the inclination to broaden your colour options. I personally went through a few years of mainly growing white, blush, peach, and lavender (my faves), but now that I have extra growing space (thanks @hilltopfarmandflowers!) I have a lot of fun bringing in more brights. Because sometimes you just need bright colours, you know? Do you colour scheme your garden? #cutflowers #gardening #cuttinggarden #flowers #sustainablefarming #regenerativefarming #flowerfarm #hamont #ontarioflowers #ranunculus #grownnotflown #localflowers #local #locallygrown

This is Fritillaria Meleagris, an easy to grow bulb that you plant in the fall for spring flowers. Flowers in the Fritillaria family are some of the most unique cut flowers you can grow, and something to look forward to when there's still not a lot blooming in the garden. My other favourite is Fritillaria Persica, check her out as well! Let me know if you think you'll give Fritillarias a try in your garden! #cutflowers #cuttinggarden #gardening #springflowers #florist #fritillaria #fritillariameleagris #flower

I can't stop singing this song only as "wisteria of London" so that's why it's on this reel 😂 My England trip is very flowered themed so stay tuned for more! #london #flowers #wisteria #londonflowers #londonwisteria

There are some really great strategies for naturalistic flower arranging, like layering your flowers and allowing the natural shapes of stems to shine, but the trick that I have found makes all the difference in my designs is allowing flower heads to face different directions. If you look at traditional floral designs all the flowers tend to face forward. But that's not how flowers are naturally (check out your garden for inspiration!), and if you let the flowers face sideways and down, etc, suddenly the arrangement looks so much more natural and gardeny! #grownnotflown #ontarioflowers #ranunculus #centrepiece #gardening #flowers #flowerarranging #cuttinggarden #flowerfarm #hamont #florist

This is Silene, also known as Bladder Campion because of how they look like little bladders 😁😍 Fun fact, it's technically considered a "weed". Just one more example of how weeds are only bad if you don't want them ❤️. Of course invasive species are another story, but these little babies are not invasive 🥰 So cute and special for the cutting garden! #growyourownflowers #ecoflorist #gardening #cuttinggarden #florist #flowers #locallygrown #grownnotflown #ontarioflowers #hamont
