Thank you so much to cousin Peter and May and Tom of 4 Daughters Farm in Bozeman, Montana for an amazing farm tour, yarrow harvest session and visit!

If any of you other East coasters find yourself in the Bozeman area, I highly highly recommend a trip to their gorgeous farm 😍.

When I was planning the 2026 growing season last year, did I commit to taking the brutally hot month of July off from sales, only to do the bare minimum on the farm and work on my website? Yes, I did.

Did all of that logic go right out the window when I was looking at plug catalogs online? Yes it did.

Did I order over a thousand lisianthus plugs, knowing that I would have to plant them in the cold earth at the end of February and tend to them for months and that I would be harvesting them in July? Yes, I did.

The things we do for love 💕

Are lisianthus the most gorgeous, longest lasting local flowers money can buy?

Yes they are.

Do you want some?

Yes, you do.

In the background, is that the cargo e-bike I purchased a year and a half ago with dreams of starting a flower bike cart? Yes it is. Have I only ridden it about 12 mi? Yes I have.

Never mind that.

Focus people, Focus! Red. Crocosmia! Haven't used a drop of water on it all season and it's still beautiful.

It's tough. And gorgeous. Just like you, baby.

Bring the kids out to the Jefferson school tomorrow for the small but growing Starr Hill Farmers Market !

Ever get overwhelmed at the larger Saturday markets?

Meet and support the awesome, hard-working local vendors that are trying to make a go of this! There's a lovely relaxed vibe, tons of shade, a little playground spot for the kiddos, produce, sweet treats, plants, flowers, and more!

Sundays 930-130

A few days ago I was harvesting right at sunset and the golden light reflected so beautifully off of these frilly white Chantilly snaps! I was hustling to get most of the snaps harvested before this heat!

Thank you, Charlottesville flower lovers who participated in our bouquet bar for Mother's Day at ! It was such a treat to see kiddos make special arrangements and cards for their moms, as well as have my amazing daughter help me!

It was so busy getting set up that we forgot to take a reel when we had all of the flowers...You can still get a sense of the spring abundance in this clip after the first rush though.

If you love flowers, local businesses, and being creative, I highly suggest you sign up for our deluxe flower arranging workshop in a few weeks at .

Tickets are through their website and include a delicious glass of Oakencroft wine, an abundance of local blooms, a lovely compote vessel to keep and reuse, as well as professional instruction and tools!
