We’ve got a limited batch of luffa sponges from this year’s harvest available now! These all-natural beauties last a long time, compost when they’re done, and are amazing for bath time or eco-friendly cleaning.

🌰 Calling All Foragers & Nature Lovers! 🌿

We’re on the hunt for black walnut trees around the mountain! If you know of any good spots (especially where the squirrels haven’t already claimed them 😉), we’d love your recommendations.

Black walnuts are a true Appalachian treasure — rich, earthy, and packed with nutrients. Foraging native foods like these connects us to the land and traditions that have been here for generations. It’s a beautiful reminder that nature still provides some of the best flavors out there. 💚

Drop your walnut finds or favorite foraging tips below — let’s keep the local harvest spirit alive! 🌾

It’s that time of year again — digging, dividing, and dreaming up new gardens! There’s something so rewarding about taking what you already have and helping it flourish in new spaces.

I’ve been focusing more on growing ornamentals lately, and with a little time and patience, it’s amazing how two plants can turn into twenty!

I’m especially excited to be expanding my collection — I’ll have several beautiful varieties of lilies and iris ready for next year’s season!

Big shout-out to Adrienne from The Garden of Adrienne! 🌸

The past few weeks we’ve gotten so much accomplished together — sold a ton of bouquets, set up for a wedding, and made so many people smile in the process. Watching how hard Adrienne works has given me a whole new respect for the world of cut flowers.

It’s hard to explain just how much time, knowledge, and effort goes into each bloom unless you’ve been out on the farm and experienced it firsthand. The tractor may prep the ground, but after that it’s all by hand — planting, tending, harvesting, arranging. Adrienne pours her heart into every step, and it shows in the beauty she shares with the world.

Grateful to be able learn and working alongside her! 💐✨

One of the biggest blessings of building a business rooted in growth is getting to raise my kids in that same environment. It’s amazing to see how much they absorb just by being around it.

Check out my little man helping keep the garden up at his preschool — already learning the value of care, patience, and responsibility. 🧑‍🌾✨

🌿 Canna Lily Cleanup This Sunday! 🌿

This Sunday, we’re tackling a serious overgrowth of canna lilies—and trust us, it’s a ton of work. What started as just six bulbs has exploded into a massive, invasive patch that’s taken over the area!

We’re all for lush, bold plants (and I’ll admit—I’m a fan of invasives like these when they’re managed properly), but when they start dominating the space and crowding out everything else, it’s time to step in.

👨‍🌾 Why full bulb removal matters:
Canna lilies are bulb-based perennials, which means if even a piece of bulb is left in the ground, it can (and will) regrow—fast. To truly clear the area, every single bulb and tuber has to go. It’s tedious work, but absolutely necessary to avoid unwanted regrowth.

🪴 The bright side?
We’ll be keeping and replanting a few in a more contained spot—because they really are stunning when under control. And we’ll have extras available if anyone’s interested in growing their own (with fair warning on how fast they spread!).

📍 If you’re local and want some bulbs—drop a comment or message!
