transplant

Flower farming on a small scale is a series of high intensity tasks. Planting a 100ft row of annuals can become tiresome after the second or third go. If you haven’t tried this, you might appreciate the time and energy it can save you.

Using a power drill and a 1.5 inch Spade drill bit to prepare for planting changed the game for me a couple years ago. I started by walking my rows and making sure the ground was soft - planting after rains is always a win. Then, I simply drilled down about 4 inches and prepared each hole for transplants. This allowed me to cut down my planting time by more than half.

Will you give this a try?

Aren’t Lisianthus the prettiest?

l’été

The first week of summer holidays has begun for us here in Ontario and the heatwave has not been shy. My goal this summer is to do one thing and one thing only - take pleasure in everyday life.

I’ve been thinking a lot about my time living and working in France. Finally having time to catch up on FaceTime with my girlfriends I made while there and feeling a deep sense of gratitude for the life lessons I learned.

Living like the French in North America is not an easy thing. I went almost a decade without ever walking or driving with my coffee, buying fresh produce every other day and walking everywhere because life is built to accommodate movement in your community so easily. It’s been 8 years since moving back, almost as long as I was away, and I find myself needing more of that very life back.

This summer I am growing flowers, but far less of them. I am growing them for pleasure and the joy of sharing them when they bloom.

Am I the only one feeling this way? Can you relate to any of this? The need to just slow it all down? Let me know how you are doing in the comments and share how you are finding « la joie de vivre » in your own life .

Some pretty flowers for the grid today. Pastello ranunculus in all her peachy glory.

Missing these views this season. Even though we aren’t growing any flowers this spring, their memory stays with me. Found this photo of the beautiful Angelique peony tulip that would be colouring up now in my phone this morning and it made me smile.

Blessed Sunday to you my friend🕊️

pastello

These lovelies were started last season in the dark days of winter just after New Years. Planted out in the changing weathers first week of March and putting on their first blooms June 1st.

This variety never disappoints. My corms are always purchased at for their superior quality and I prefer to support Canadian wholesalers.

Missing these kitchen sink views this season and my early morning garden walks with coffee checking on the raised beds.

Enjoy their beauty. They come and go and are worth every moment of joy and peace they provide.

Are you growing any ranunculus this season?

lately

Well, tomorrow is the last day of January. The last day in a month that has felt like it has lasted a whole year. This winter has brought me back to my childhood. I have photos of my brother and I playing on snow piles as high as they are today. Temperatures that kept the snow on the tree tops. Nostalgia is a warm blanket for me amidst what feels like a very cold time in history. But hope is a muscle I continue to train. There is no other way.

So many things have happened. In my life. In the world. I have had moments where I cry spontaneous tears for the freedom I have to go for a walk without fearing for my safety. I cry tears of genuine worry for my niece and nephew and the world they are inheriting. I cry tears of fatigue from the daily struggle this month has been trying to teach to a group of my students who struggle with their own hardships.

But then there are the flowers. In between editing report cards, I have been designing a mood board for the only wedding I will flower this year. The palette is green and violet tones. An absolutely perfect choice for a late September ceremony when the garden will be abundant in texture and color.

FUN FACT: Although I received just over 30 wedding inquiries this year, and a few that had potential, none of them were weddings I wanted to design. Except this one. This one is for a friend and a fellow creative. And so it’s the kind of wedding that I get to truly dig into my imagination. But more than this, it’s a wedding that tells a love story. Every tiny details holds meaning and truly captures the spirit of the bride and groom.

I’ll be growing a bed of Lavender Voyage II Lisianthus and a whole bunch of other whimsical, ethereal filler flowers. I was so happy to find sells Lisi plugs in my area. Thank you Melinda 🙏🏽

The vision for this wedding is both earth bound and free spirited. Exactly how I feel in my soul. One foot on the ground and the other ascending to the skies.

Here’s to flowers in the winter to keep us grounded in beauty and dreaming of brighter and lighter days ✨

new year

It’s been a little over a month since I’ve posted. I’ve tried many times but just haven’t felt inspired enough to share what’s really been going on.

This year, I don’t have pictures of ranunculus corms being woken up or tips and tricks for growing light set ups this year as I normally would. Why you ask?

My winter has taken on a very different shape since our house fire on Christmas Eve day. What began as a simple decision turned into the next 6-8 months being displaced from our home. We had a serious fire that managed to damage or destroy all of our belongings. As we had just finished renovations, I had thankfully packed most of our keepsakes and photos into the basement.

We are rebuilding from the ground up. This was a truly cathartic experience for me. Two years of growing and harvesting new flowers for dried flowers stock are being thrown away this week in the demolition phase of our home. Nothing is going as planned. And this is the beautiful part. That’s life. One day you think you have it all figured out and the next you day you don’t. It’s simple.

Since we will be without our home until the summer nothing that you normally see here will be happening. One thing I can say is that whatever flowers I do grow will be used for a precious wedding and giving in kindness this season. The mental load of having to itemize the contents of our home is wearing on me this week and when I’d normally be waking up my corms, I’m storing them with family for next fall.

Something beautiful came out of the fire and that is a deepening of my faith that God always provides. Thank you to every single one of you who are aware of what happened. For your calls, messages and concern. Many have asked how they can help. Please help by having a fire kit with a fire blanket. Please help by having a plan and practicing what to do. Please help by teaching by your children what to do. That’s the best I can ask.

I hope that today you know how precious life is and that the things we own are truly insignificant. I’ll be a little quieter here for the month of January and hope to be more present as we get through the rubble so to speak.

Peace be with you flower friends 🕊️

Well, school is almost out for the holidays. I turn 45 tomorrow and we are in our third week of Advent. This week is about finding JOY. Seeing JOY. Seeking JOY. But I woke up today and realized for me this year it is about trying my best to BE JOY. Things have been very busy it’s moving a whole life to another place. I@haven’t been feeling joyful to be honest. I’ve been feeling burdened by learning so many new things. Amidst the grumbling and tired nights, I am trying to find JOY in the simplest things. A new recipe. A warm under layer. A silly thing the kids do during the day.

I was asked to finish the school year so feeling very grateful for that peace of mind and continuity. Most of the presents are wrapped and under the tree. Christmas baking begins tonight. I love the rhythm as we approach winter. Life feels like a steam engine most of the year, but at this time it all comes to a slow halt. Very much looking forward to resting and recharging over the break and choosing which fliers I will grow next year. Things will be simple and that feels like the way forward.

Here are a bunch of market bouquets from two seasons back. I will definitely be growing a whole row of Cactus Zinnia. That texture though…

Are you feeling JOYFUL? You can be honest ❤️
