The weather over the course of the “winter” of 2016/2017 and the following “spring” months was a roller coaster of extremes.too hot too early, too cold too late, too wet too long. Staple early spring crops like ranunculus, narciussus and hellebores were a near total loss. We called in a lot of favors with our fellow farmer community to fill our gaps. And we’re so grateful for that community!

But despite the challenges, the flowers — and more importantly the events they decorated — have been phenomenally beautiful! It has been, by far, our most successful design/event season yet and we’re awfully proud of the beauty that has been crafted. It’s just taken a little extra grit and determination on our part. If anyone ever tells you flower farming is easy, you point them in my direction for a stern little chat!
