Want to send a huge thank you to everyone who has supported IndieGrow this year and over the seasons. You have no clue how much it means to us. I was always a driven kid with a million ideas of what I wanted to be and I’ll be honest, this really wasn’t it. I always knew I wanted to be a mom, but the job part changed and changed and changed. Even in college, my major just kept changing. And knowing I wanted to be a mom, I never imagined myself being a stay at home mom. Once I had her though I did not want to be anywhere else but with her. I would literally run out of the office and through the parking garage each day to rush home to her—and I am not a runner. This girl stole my heart.
Now she’s taller than me and I can’t figure out where the time has gone. She’s been my biggest cheerleader and each year helps out more and more. She tags along to help clean up weddings, set up weddings, helps with bud vases, planting, harvesting and sanitizing our buckets. Some times she helps with the wreath workshops. One of these days she should probably take the reins on the social media because I’m sure she’s much better at it than I. It absolutely makes my day when she comes out while I’m harvesting to tell me what a vibe it is out there and how much she loves different parts of the field. This is my girl. And this is us. This is who you’re supporting every time you support this biz. Thank you thank you thank you!!

Are you starting to decorate for Christmas or do you wait until after Thanksgiving? Traditionally I wait. This year though, I don’t know if I can resist. I might just do the tree with lights for a bit and go full blown Christmas when we return from Thanksgiving. I think I’ll tackle the outdoor stuff before the snow gets here too. I’m looking forward to doing something festive with the planters in front of the porch. Let me know if you need any help with your own. Or if you need a wreath for the front door, you know who to call. OR if want to design your own, but need the materials and some guidance, we’ve got workshops coming. First is this Sunday, the others will be in December. Link in bio is updated. ✌️

And just like that, it’s wreath season. Ok maybe wreath season isn’t a thing for most, but for us flower farmers and floral designers it is and it’s great opportunity for us to share the magic of wreath making with the rest of you. We’ve got our wreaths up and live on the site to order and we’re also working out the final details for our wreath workshops. The first one will be this Sunday at 4 at my favorite happy hour spot . Please join us—I’ll bring all the materials, you just bring you and your creativity and walk away with the freshest wreath that will last the entire winter.
If you can’t make this one, we’ll have two more in December — this is for the folks who like to decorate a little early and those that want to bring the best hostess gift to Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving. Tickets can be be found at the link in bio.

She always waits until the other trees have dropped their leaves to really show off and stand out. She’s one of my favorite trees on the whole property.
As we wrap up the 2025 season I find myself tired and finding it hard to find motivation to get the last bits done. There’s a few more dahlia rows to clean up, a few more areas I wanted to get prepped so next season’s start can go smoothly, and a few more rows of peonies to cut back. While I leave a lot of perennials as they are to provide food and shelter for the winter, some plants like peonies are better off being cut back to help prevent the spread of disease and so the plant can send all its energy to the roots. I really should have done it sooner, but not going to beat myself up. Another thing I should have done sooner was think about wreath season. Who’s ready to make a wreath? I’ll be posting workshop dates and times before the weekend is over. So yeah, finding it hard to get the cleanup done, but at the same time ready to decorate for Christmas and also dreaming of next year. Getting out the draft paper now to start planning the 2026 field plans and as nerdy as it is, I can’t wait 💛

Ahhh, it’s been such a pleasure to look back at all the smiles, all the joy and all the love on these special days. E & C were another couple we designed for with . They were married at the family farm and had the talented capture it all. While they designed the ceremony and reception flowers, they called me in to do all the personal flowers and I was so happy to do so, especially when I saw the design inspo. Those special rudbeckia I always know I can count on were the finishing touch and the exact bloom that tied everything together. And look at all those cute flower crowns! Such a joy filled day 💛

Another beautiful fall wedding with our friends at captured by the wonderful . Such a beautiful day for a beautiful couple 🧡🍂✨
As we’re prepping the field for next year and working on proposals for the 2026 weddings it’s fun looking back at the beautiful weddings we’ve had the honor to be part of. Always grateful to be part of such a special days.

A while back I promised to share more of our design work. Gosh it’s hard to pick what to share. I scroll and see what the field looked like just a few weeks ago, a month ago, two months ago, 3 months ago and then every close up of blooms in between magical days like this. R & J got married in August at one of my very favorite venues under a beautiful chuppah lovingly built by the bride’s father. I looked forward for months to designing with all these beautiful blooms—one of my absolute favorite palettes. I love seeing how captured it all and am honored to have designed for these two on their special day. Their trust in my artistry is appreciated beyond measure and I hope they know the amount of joy this design brought me ♥️ Congrats again to R & J! 🤗

Last week I went out and captured as much of the field as I could. I finally pulled out the drone I got a few years ago and attempted to fly it and capture the field from above. Let’s just say I have even more appreciation for those that can handle these crazy little devices more now than ever. I crashed it many times, thankfully found it every time, and just before the battery died was able to get the last shot—almost a pic of my whole field, almost. Then ran around trying to get the rest before the light was completely gone for the day. The next day would be a full on harvest day and then the frost would come to put an end to our 2025 growing season. This was last call and I appreciated every moment we got. I had more of an attachment to things this year and just so much gratitude. It was nice to have time for this goodbye. It was a season that felt more manageable—don’t get me wrong, there were still challenges, but compared to the last few, this one felt much smoother. Spring was spring and not an immediate heat wave. It was still rather dry, but nothing like the last two years. The pests and weeds were abundant but somehow we managed to still harvest buckets and buckets of incredible blooms.
I want to share more of our design work now, but first I had to share the last few days of the field. This is the moment, this fullness, wildness, color and texture I always look forward to. These layers are what get me excited and have me pulling out the graph paper and changing things multiple times throughout winter. This is exactly what I was hoping for.

No, I don’t have a flower shop. What I do have is a field of gorgeous blooms that I’ve tended to since seed. Perennials, annuals, foliage and fruits all growing amongst each other in rows and mixed gardens that are the homes of hundreds of birds and pollinators. I don't harvest every single stem. Instead, I let them go through all of the stages, use them in all of the stages in my wild, organic designs, enjoy them in all of their stages in the garden, appreciate all of the nature they draw to our land, and then either collect their seed, let the birds enjoy the seeds throughout the rest of the year or let them self seed and multiply. My art gets to come alive not only in the design studio but in every step: planning the field, designing the gardens, and then harvesting each piece that is calling to me that day. We’re not the shop you call for a dozen roses, but if you’re looking for something to brighten someone’s day, something that’s different from what you’ll find at the market, or a floral designer for your special event that has a refined elegance that somehow captures the wildness of nature, then you’re in the right place. Let me know what you need. We’re still booking for 2026 and we’re still taking special orders and daily deliveries.
