"Where do you grow all your flowers?"
We get asked this all the time! No matter which pick-up location you visit, it never seems like there could possibly be enough flowers growing there to produce everything we offer.
I snapped this photo today while loading buckets into my car, and it felt like the perfect representation of flower farming: buckets overflowing with blooms and green fields empty with not a flower in sight.
We grow on three different properties—mine (Michelle's), my sister LeeAnna's, and my mom Geri's. Between the three of us, we've filled our yards with flowers. Every few days we cut all, so it's actually pretty rare to see our gardens looking full of flowers. Especially in the spring, many varieties are cut before they're fully open, meaning they spend more time in buckets than they do blooming in the garden.
When you come to pick up flowers, you're really only seeing one-third of the operation—and usually a day or two after everything has been harvested. So where are all the flowers? In your bouquets!
It might be a little unconventional, but we've learned to love growing this way. There are some real advantages to having three separate growing spaces. Each of us is responsible for our own section, which makes the watering, harvesting, weeding, and day-to-day care much more manageable. Over the past six years, we've also learned which flowers thrive in each location, so we carefully choose where every crop gets planted based on the conditions it prefers.
One of the biggest benefits is the natural succession we get between the properties. Even when we plant the same flower in all three gardens, our slightly different growing conditions mean they don't all bloom at the same time. A crop that is finishing in one yard may be just beginning in another, helping us stretch the season and keep the bouquets full for longer.
There's a lot of planning, texting, and coordinating behind the scenes as we decide who's bringing what and where it all needs to go. But somehow, when the buckets finally come together, they always do so beautifully. It still feels a little bit magical every time. 🌸
