Hey guys!! It’s been a day or two since I’ve posted but boy is May a busy month for the flower farmer! Cold and then hot, dry and then wet. But. We keep trudging on. It has also been a fun month filled with flowers and wonderful people. More to come on that wrap up of May shortly. I hope all have a good weekend. I just included this pic. Of a peony for some beauty. They are almost gone. Happy Friday.💗

Happy Friday everyone and happy soon to be Mother’s Day! If you are in need of that last minute bunch of flowers for Mother’s Day I will be making up a limited number of arrangements tomorrow so give me a shout! I also have those one of a kind pottery vases available and I might know a girl who could arrange flowers in them for you! And… Happy Nurses week to all of the wonderful nurses out there!💗💗💗💗

Good morning! Happy Saturday everyone! On this Saturday morning I want to introduce you to someone remarkable! My sister-n-law Janice Pacifico. In January Rick and I made a trip to New Mexico to visit with Rick’s brother and with Jan. This was a trip many years in the making and we had such a wonderful time! I fell in love with New Mexico and I just want to tell you George and Jan have the most amazing home. I have never felt so welcomed and the history and beauty in their home was unbelievable. I could write forever about it but I want you to meet Jan! I want you to see how amazing she is and then after that I am going to show you some of her wonderful pottery that I brought home with me from her studio in New Mexico. Vases that she made for my flowers for you!💗 https://pacificoclayworks.com/about-me/

Good afternoon everyone! I have had several people reach out to check on my flowers with this crazy up and down weather. When the weather man is calling for cooler temps at night I tuck them under their blankets, frost cloth, and then uncover in the morning before it gets warm. Not gonna lie. This is not for the faint of heart but without a tunnel so necessary. Lifting these sandbags twice a day is a workout! Thanks to everyone who checked in.💗

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT 🌷Floral Ridge Farm

We recently spoke with Patricia Ridgeway at Floral Ridge Farm, LLC. to find out more about the business.

Floral Ridge Farm is a sustainable fresh cut flower farm located outside of Union, WV in beautiful Monroe County.

"We are a farmer florist operation providing fresh flowers from mid-April until the first fall frost," Ridgeway said.

In the winter they offer a Winter Wreath Workshop. They also offer Bridal Bouquet Workshops. Starting this summer there will be additional bouquet workshops and a U-Pick garden.

She says special order bouquets are available. They also do farm pickup and attend Farmer's Markets and local pop up markets.

In 2025 they were a field trip stop for the local middle school and participated in the WV Farm Crawl. "We plan to grow our Agrotourism operations in 2026," she said.

"My flowers give me peace and make me feel closer to God," Ridgeway said. "I want to spread that peace and joy to others."

She said one of her favorite activities is flower shopping with her mother every summer. "Maybe I can do that for others, be that for others," she said.

She added that she loves the beauty and family atmosphere in Union.

Floral Ridge Farm is located at 100 Maple Lane, Union, WV 24983

Good morning! I just wanted to share some beauty this morning. The vase was made by my sister-n-law Janice Pacifico. She is a wonderful, talented Potter that lives and has her gallery in New Mexico! Much more on Jan at a later date. I have multiple vases in multiple styles available for Mothers Day! If you think you might be interested in a Mothers Day arrangement in one of Jan’s beautiful vases please reach out! And I wish you could smell the Lilacs!😉💗

The rabbits were literally watching us plant.🐰😳 Plants were tucked in safe for the night and fingers are crossed Mr Easter bunny stays away. Happy Saturday.🌞🩷

Thank you to everyone who took time to guess the plants! You did wonderful! The first plants were snapdragons and the second were strawflowers. They are both considered a cool season flower which means they like to get established in the cool ground! There are different varieties of snaps that tolerate short or long days better and some tolerate heat more than others. So…. If you want to raise snaps it pays to check out the different types. Strawflowers are just so different! They too like to get going in the cool but do well in the summer heat! I love to teach flowers so stay tuned for a couple of workshops on the farm this summer!🌞🩷
