Farm 2 Table on 51

I’m so looking forward to seeing what all of you create tomorrow at the farm!

We are carving out pumpkins and filling them with the last of the seasons blooms for our Fall Wrap Up. Rose and Hazel will be running the farm store and will have some warm drinks ready for you 😊

There are still a few spots in the afternoon if you want to join us!

See you in the garden tomorrow!

Recently this photo was sent to me, taken on our trip to Washington. I love it and it reminded me of how lucky I am to have this man behind the scenes of everything here on the farm. He is always up for an adventure and is the master of fun in our house. He is my garden bed maker, irrigation specialist, flower cooler maintenance guy, my “can you build me this?” man and so much more. Thank you Russell for all that you do! 💕

We sent out the last Autumn Subscriptions out for the season today! I’m relieved to have made it through without a frost!

Thank you Peace Country for supporting our little farm this season and I am already dreaming up ways to make the subscriptions even better for next season ❤️

Russell and I have been on an adventure! In February I bought us a romantic getaway 😆💕 to a dahlia hybridizing course at Triple Wren Farms which we attended yesterday! Our lovely hosts Sarah and Steve went above and beyond in the customer experience! In addition to the classroom work, we received the first copies of her new book, got to go out to her dahlia field and choose 2 plants to cross and will receive the seeds at Christmas (🤩) and had a beautiful long table dinner made with local ingredients with our classmates! Then off to wander the 100,000 dahlias during golden hour while she pointed out her favorites and ones that were not going to make the cut as new varieties.
Truly a magical day!

I’ll be coming home with a head full of dreams and of course a long list of must have varieties for next year 😂

Dreamy neutrals for today’s Bouquet Subscriptions. It’s had to believe we only have 2 weeks of them left for the season!

If you want to buy yourself or someone special one for next year, make sure to get on our email list and you will get first access to them and all we have to offer 😊 You can sign up from the homepage of our website or just message us your email and we can add you 🌸

We have some special guests coming our way with a big load of beautiful organic garlic ❤️
My Dad and Bev have been growing garlic for 18+ years in the beautiful Kootenay Valley and they sure know how to do it well. (Mine is never as big and pretty as Dads!)

This is your chance to meet them in person and get all of your questions answered. They will be selling garlic from our farm store and fielding questions on September 3 & 4th from 10am-2pm and again on Sept 5th from 6-7:30pm.
They are coming with Asian Tempest, Bogatyr and Russian Red and can give you all the ins and outs on each variety 😊 Plus we are running special pricing while they are here so pop by and get your garlic while you can!
No need to book an appointment but please come only during the times listed above ❤️

Need directions? Message me and I will send them to your inbox!

It’s our last day in person inside the Blue Building and we have come loaded with dahlias, cosmos, sunnies, zinnias and more!

We are also teaming up with the The Liminal Place Cafe to bring you a ‘Bestie Bundle’. It’s a sweet little arrangement paired with your drink of choice from The Liminal Place Cafe in a cute little to go package 💕
It’s makes a perfect Happy Saturday for a friend or coworker!

We are here from 10-2pm today!

It feels like a blink and summer is nearly over! The kids are on their last days of summer holidays before school starts and the air this morning had fall vibes 🍂

Saturday is already our last day inside the Blue Building with the flower cart for the season! Make sure to stop by for an armload of gorgeous dahlias, sunnies in every colour and a rainbow of zinnias😊

See you tomorrow from 10-2pm!

It’s been a busy couple weeks at the farm!
Bouquet subscriptions, special orders, event florals, photoshoot florals, flower crowns, yoga, and our day at the market in the Blue Building!

August is our busiest month and I am so grateful to have enough work to be totally tuckered doing the thing I love ❤️

Thank you Peace Country for your orders, your connections, and encouragement. It means that I get to continue to deliver the joy brought by flowers to our community ❤️
