Our Story
My love for all things flowers started very early in life…
I began my flower farming journey in 2018 when my husband Douglas and I moved to the country. That first season, I direct seeded a single row of random flowers in the middle of our hay field. Surprisingly, they grew and I was hooked. Since then I have experimented with the size and scale of my cut flower field, settling on mostly growing annuals in our unheated greenhouse and growing our perennial beds in the field. It has been a labour of love establishing a garden in a field, staying true to my desire and commitment to a herbicide and pesticide free garden and finding the balance in my desire to grow everything with my ability to manage everything well.
It is such a joy to see the first seedlings pop up in the seed trays in January. A joy to see a rather ugly looking corm, bulb or tuber explode into a thing of beauty in June. The reward in this labour of love is seeing the results of months of hard work each and every time I harvest a bucket full of fresh gorgeous flowers, flowers that were started, nurtured and grown here on our farm.
Some of my must grow flowers are Sweet peas, Peonies, Anemones, Ranunculus, Dahlias, Fragrant Stock and Snapdragons. You will always find these beauties growing here. I also grow an abundance of other annuals and I add some perennials to the garden each growing season.
Whether someone is looking for a weekly bouquet subscription for their home or business, a gift for someone else or items from our a la carte wedding options, you can rest assured that you are getting a product that is always fresh and the best of what we have growing. Each month of our growing season brings on a new varieties of flowers so the summer here is packed with colour and fragrance, making local cut flowers an extraordinary addition to your event or celebration.
I would love for you to give us a try and come along on our journey growing beautiful things.
