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.
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.
Peony season has arrived at the farm, and there’s one simple harvesting trick that can completely change how long you enjoy them indoors. In this post, I’m sharing the “marshmallow stage” secret flower farmers use, why ants gather on peony buds, and why bringing flowers inside might be one of the simplest joys of spring.
A beautiful garden, a fresh planting… and then overnight, everything changes. A quiet, all-too-relatable story from our Cape May flower farm.
