Greetings from the Farm!

Flowers are very much on our mind these days.
They are a welcome escape from the depths of winter and a reminder that spring is not so very far off (less than 50 days!).
Recently we attended the Flowering in the North conference hosted by the University of Southern Maine and were inspired by all the different growers both presenting and in attendance. We learned so much about growing in cold weather climates and brought home some exciting new ideas we are looking forward to implementing in the coming years.
More importantly, we were reminded of the power flowers have to spark joy, unite community, and bring beauty to the world.

The language of flowers grew out of the genteel Victorian climate. They became messengers for the types of things one might not want to say out loud or may be too shy to.

If you’re looking for the perfect Valentine’s gift we have spring flower shares available. A bouquet every week from May through June, each one bursting with our own flowers and their unique meanings—what we wish for you and all our customers: beauty, love and lots more..

Campanula for constancy, faithful and dependable

Cosmos for joy in love and life

Eucalyptus for protection

Feverfew for warmth

Ammi for fantasy and dreams

Ranunculus for charm and radiance

Sweet peas for delicate pleasures

Tulips for a perfect and deep love

And so much more.

Flowers may seem superficial to some, but they remind us of the possibilities of human connection, the joy in the little details, and the exceptional beauty still possible in this world.
A fistful of wildflowers, a dozen roses, or a single stem from the garden all hold the power to brighten someone’s day.

Botanist and horticulturist, Luther Burbank may have summed it up best when he said,
“Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food, and medicine for the soul.”
