Hello šŸ‘‹to all my new 🌸 flower friends! Thank you so much for tagging along and for your support!

I’m Marlene šŸ‘©ā€šŸŒ¾, your local flower farmer. I grow flowers in my backyard tiny flower farm! and no, my yard isn’t very beautiful and colorful as you might think šŸ˜… once the flowers are at just the right stage they are harvested and designed for you!

Our farm offers locally grown flowers to NW Chicago and NW suburbs through custom orders, CSA Flower Subscriptions (April-Oct), workshops, popups and more!

The Spring Flower Subscription is starting this week and I’d love to share the joy I feel with you through fluffy and beautiful blooms! you’ll be surprised how long Spring actually is in Chicago :)

Poppies! They’re silky like satin and crinkled like paper!
They’re one of my favorite flowers to grow because the šŸ love them, they make pretty pods and are just magical when their hairy pods crack open and reveal beauty within!
This week I’m starting some Hummingbird poppies to tuck into our Spring Subscription bouquets! šŸ’

We had our first frost last week but it only touched some of our flowers! The dahlias are still going but are really slow and it’s time to pull them out and store all the tubers that multiplied this season!

Our very last CSA Subscription bouquet went out this morning and I am so so grateful for all of your support on this flower journey!
It’s been such a delight to share the beauty of these blooms with you in 2025. From tulips to peonies, to bachelor buttons to dahlias, you’ve helped make a big difference for lots of pollinators in our neighborhood! Thank you!!
Isn’t that kinda funny!? Even supporting through sharing through word of mouth or here on social media, that’s helped our farm keep going and staying in business which means more flowers and more food por pollinators.
If the bees and butterflies could talk, (and pests alike), I’m sure they would join me in thanking YOU! Thank you so so much for your support this 2025 growing season! xoxo, Marlene
