I had this Jewish book growing up called “Something from Nothing” about a little boy and his special blanket that his grandfather made him. As the boy grows older, the blanket begins to fall apart, so his grandfather reworks it into something smaller, and then again into something else smaller until there’s nothing left but a button (I think?), and then the button gets lost and he’s left with a great story.

Well, that story has always stuck with me, and it came to me today as I reworked last week’s Yom Kippur installs from Beth Tfiloh into something beautiful for my home. Sure, I could have just tossed the arrangements- I did bring them new ones for Sukkot, and I have plenty of flowers out in the field, but I wanted to create my own “something from nothing” arrangement with the salvageable stems.

Cool, right? I love how this looks on my Gigi’s piano. She died before I entered the flower portion of my life, but I like to think she would have been proud to see my arrangements front and center on the bima in her synagogue…and then repurposed on her piano.

The kind of fall bouquet you’ll never find at a big box store! This one is going out to a new subscriber tomorrow, and I hope she loves it as much as I do! Bouquet features plectranthus, dahlias, micro (!!) sunflowers, lisianthus and celosia. ,

This perennial phlox is the definition of a “work horse” flower. These varieties (minus the hot pink) are all from Farmer Bailey and are on their 2nd or 3rd succession. Heck, the purple and pink centered ones were mowed down by deer (for some reason they ignored the white?) before we were able to fix the fence and they STILL bounced back nicely.

I just cut them back today with the hopes of getting one final flush before frost.

Ps- they smell so good too!

Flowers for break fast! Took a quick stroll around the farm and harvested these and then made a super quick arrangement. Local Baltimore-grown flowers are particularly stunning in the fall, don’t you think?

This white pumpkin arrangement features locally grown amaranthus, scented geranium, hydrangea, phlox, golden scepter dahlias, solidago and abelia.

Need a fall-themed arrangement for your sukkah or dinner party? Send me a DM or choose the “short and sweet” from my website!

Pretty happy with how this year’s Rosh Hashanah floral recipe turned out: amaranthus hopi red dye + hot biscuits, plectranthus, abelia, dahlia, aster, and pineapple lily- all locally grown with love on our little flower farm 😊

Haven’t heard of many of these flowers? That’s the beauty of locally grown- there’s always a new and exciting flower to discover ✨

Shana tova to my Jewish friends. May the new year be sweet and joyous 🍂🌻🍎🍯

For Helia Organic Spa & Acupuncture Baltimore: A lot of fall (dahlias, celosia, lisianthus) with a touch of tropical vibes 🌺 thanks to this funky/fun pineapple lily 🍍

What do you think? Should I grow them again next year?

August came in with a bang and the flowers are showing off. Can’t wait for the apricot asters to join us in a week or so, but for now, enjoy some of my favorite dahlias, amaranthus, Japanese anemone and more!
