There was a lot of excitement on the farm today with this group of students and their teachers hailing from Tamarack Discovery School in Iowa City. They arranged bouquets, explored the food forest and made pita bread in the wood fired oven.

I love this flower for so many reasons. Besides being a stunning cut flower, it loves being planted in the cold season and then ends up blooming quite early for an annual. But even better, it self seeds and will often come back on its own. The pods are also great for adding structure and edgy beauty to a bouquet. When they are fully ripe, the seeds are a wonderful edible addition to salads and breads. The name is Love-in-a-mist, or Nigella.

For the first time in years, I planted some new perennials yesterday. Made this finger courage with the blooms I trimmed off. Really fun and frivolous. 😊🌸🌼

Here is a glimpse of my boutonnière process for the last wedding. As I make them, I tuck them into containers with shallow water to keep them hydrated. This time these mugs turned out to be the right size for the job.

When you need peonies in June, they can be cut in the soft bud stage, wrapped in newspaper, and held in refrigeration. When you are ready to use them, pull them out, cut an inch off the stems, and place into warm water for several hours until they open. Will be using these for a wedding today!

These cuts are tucked into warm water on this hot day. The warm water draws up faster for better hydration. Then they’ll head inside to condition and become hand bouquets and boutonnières.

Hello, Friends,
I've been hosting classes on the farm through a new venture called Land Alliance Folk School. Here's one I thought you flower folk might enjoy. Intro to Natural Dyeing: Picking Color From the Garden, will be a chance to learn about easy to grow dye plants and the techniques for using them! Join us if interested, and please tell your friends! Link in comments below.

For anyone interested in natural fibers, another class, From Sheep to Yarn, will be offered the same weekend. We'll be starting will a raw fleece and learning how to process it and spin it into yarn.

Instructor, Lesley Darling, has become a perennial favorite here and is a great resource for all things fiber!
