Growing a cut flower garden comes with successes, failures and plenty of lessons along the way. But one gardener’s story reminded me that sometimes the greatest reward isn’t what grows in the garden, but what we’re able to do with the flowers we grow.
Summer flowers have arrived, and with them came a question I hear every year: "Do you still have tulips?" The answer is simple, but the reason behind it says a lot about how we've come to expect everything, all the time.
Sometimes the most surprising lessons on the farm happen when we leave the farm. A visit with one of our customers this week started with antique cars, wandered through beautiful gardens, and ended with a conversation about flowers that I've been having over and over again lately. If you've ever grown something you were proud of, you'll probably understand exactly why.
A beautiful garden, a fresh planting… and then overnight, everything changes. A quiet, all-too-relatable story from our Cape May flower farm.
