March, you are always very welcome. No matter the temps, I can physically feel the light returning- in my body, in my mind. The plants feel it deeply too, especially as we pass by 11 hours of daylight. Seeds germinate in a snap and a few brave souls are peeking their heads out of the soil. March, we needed you and welcome you 🌞 ❤️🌱 Pictured:

Love this time of year and talking to beautiful couples planning weddings of all shapes and sizes!
///
Here we like to think outside the box and create wedding florals that reflect YOU and not just what everyone else is doing
///
We are flower farmers, first and foremost, so our designs and ethos reflect a love of seasonal flowers with unique beauty, movement and scent
///
We use flowers that we grow ourselves or that we source locally. If your wedding is booked well in advance, we can even grow florals specifically for your wedding (!)
///
We love DIY weddings just as much as elaborate installations
///
New this year! Join us in our studio to create some or all of your own wedding flowers with a curated selection of blooms and expert help at the ready. Its a lovely way to grab a breath and gather with your closest folks just before the big day
///
And if you have zero interest in DIY and will be swamped with all the other stuff, we got you ...

Drop us a line and let's chat 💐❤️📲

Two bright spots this week: meeting a fellow city flower farmer who also makes incredible vases: •••••
Check out this beauty she made, shown here with the other bright spots this week, some forgotten Amaryllis blooming their heads off •••
I don’t honestly love Amaryllis and I find them challenging to work with but this vessel was just the thing! Stay warm, friends

Substack is where it’s at right now and I hope it stays that way (love Instagram but, sigh, it feels like a s**t show of ads and accounts I don’t follow these days. And Meta …). Not to mention that two amazing humans have essays posted there today 💫 …

Hello Tulip Loving Friends,

I got all the bulbs planted in the nick of time this year (3500!) and it's going to be a lovely show of favorites old and new come Spring.

The Impression series made a big splash last year so, of course, there will be a week of those but also new colorways and forms that I can't wait to get my hands on (see full list of varieties below).

This will be our third year offering the tulip share, and the largest offering yet. Since past share offers have sold out in hours, I decided to plant more! But there is only so much we can squeeze onto our 1/10 acre. :) So, do get your order in and, please note, we will be offering local delivery this year!

If you are choosing the share as an amazing gift (!), we will email you a printable certificate for giving. Please note this at checkout.

We are proud of our tulips and the incredible lasting beauty they bring. Because when you buy local flowers, the vase life is completely different than store-bought. And with tulips, it makes an incredible difference.

Thanks for reading. Wishing you a cozy winter and very happy holidays! And do reach out with any questions [email protected]

Just read this review left by a bride we worked with this summer. 🥺 It feels incredible to have someone take the time to write this and post it. And a good reminder to myself, and to us all, to follow up and shout out our positive experiences! Especially when it’s a small business. It means everything! ✌️❤️
