There’s nothing better than a morning sunrise with a good cup of coffee. Mother Nature had a little extra surprise this morning! The colors of the snapdragons playing off of the rainbow were hard to resist! 🌸☕️

We’ll be up at the Fulton County Farmer's Market Rochester IN this coming Saturday, May 9th, to kick off farmers market season! 💐 We’ll have an assortment of dried flower arrangements to choose from!

Bring your friends, grab a coffee, and come out to enjoy the weather and support all of our local vendors!

The plant babies are venturing outside! It’s the last (very important) step before they are planted in the ground. They will be acclimated with Mother Nature throughout the next couple weeks so their roots aren’t shocked when they go into the ground.

I order these shelving units cheap off of Amazon to wheel them inside and out to make my life easier during this time. Each day they will stay out longer and longer to get the feel for the temperatures and sunlight exposure. Can’t wait to get these babies in the ground and start the 2026 season! 🌱

Daffodil season is here and it’s so exciting to be able to walk outside and pick flowers again! 🌼

In honor of the first day of spring 🌱

There is something about experiencing all four seasons. Wintertime is tough and in the thick of it we often ask ourselves, ‘Why do we live here?’

This is the why. Watching things around you spring back to life is totally worth it in my opinion. The plants need winter to hibernate and recharge so they can bring us joy for another season. Spring is upon us and it’s little signs like this that make it all the more exciting and worth the wait! 🌱🌷

The hardy annuals are thriving in this chilly weather! Putting time in during the fall to get these plants established is well worth it. Spring will be here before we know it! 🌼

Swipe to see the magic of Frostmas. ❄️

It marks the official end to the growing season. The beds are put to rest and the tunnels are keeping the next round of flowers comfortable until spring! It’s always a bittersweet moment. I look forward to a slower pace but will miss the beauty of the flowers.
