Some people say I have a problem.

It started with a gift
It didn’t seem like that long ago I got a call from a flower farmer offering to share some dahlias from their field. I jumped at the chance - who wouldn’t? The shine wore off when I realized how much work it would take for me to learn how to care for these new treasures and get them to bloom again. I was just starting out on my flower journey. Since then I’ve become more confident growing the flowers I’m most drawn to. I’m crazy about flowers but I wouldn’t really say it’s a problem.
After a few years of growing my library I’m offering some of my favorite dahlia tubers for sale. In the summer months I sell bouquets at my farm stand and offer DIY bridal buckets of blooms and greens for those interested in crafting their own centerpieces and bouquets for their big day.
Curated with care
I have filled my flower field with my favorite dahlias and cut flowers for bouquets. In the spring I look forward to anemones, narcissus, tulips and peonies. Then everything shifts and it’s dahlia-mania until mid summer when I look up and see myself surrounded by blooms in my favorite place, the flower field. I hope you find some new favorites in my collection.
