When you want something organic, fun and local for a "Baby girl is almost here" photo shoot!

There are about six different Celosia varieties in this bunch - 'tis my favorite season after all (Celosia season, that is) :)

Congratulations to Andy, Jenna and big sis and thanks for supporting this small business/farm!

FINALLY getting around to the "after" post! The Art of Flower Pounding Class, featuring the marigolds I harvested last week, was a RESOUNDING success (get it?)...

These enthusiastic ladies smashed my sweet marigolds, mahogany hibiscus, hyacinth bean, and others to a pulp on their tea towels, and did it with smiles on their faces. Tension release accomplished!

This season is winding down, but I hope to bring back more nature-based art classes next year to the library next season!

Thank you to Dawn Shoemaker and ALL of the Kenton County Library's programmers who invite in community partners like myself, and thoughtfully plan awesome, FREE to the public, classes to expand our creative minds!

It's September. My fields are tired and so am I. The beauty of making art with nature is that a lot of times you can use not-so-perfect flowers to make some incredible art.

I feel like there's a lesson here, especially in our society. People and things are still beautiful and useful (and often even more so) long after their outward beauty fades.

I swear, every day I find something in nature that keeps me in check. Thank God, I need it!

These spotty guys (also known as Marigolds) are for my Art of Flower Pounding Class today at the Independence library. Stay tuned for their "after" shots!

CELOSIA! This is my sixth year of growing the Celosia family and my sixth year of falling deeper in love with them.

They are wonderfully weird, loyal, happy through all of Summer's bummers, gorgeous even when cut and dry.

And did I mention edible?! Also known as Lagos Spinach, Celosia is a native of parts of Africa, and the tender leaves are eaten there in the way spinach is eaten here: cooked or in salads.

This year, I grew somewhere around 32 varieties and each time I grow them I want more!

Let me know if you grow any of the members of my favorite flower family, or have tried them as a fun alternative to spinach!

Fudge was my overseer in the field this morning when cutting for the farmstand. If only he had opposable thumbs he might be a LITTLE more useful.

Wrapped bouquets and mini jars will be on the farmstand at the library only from 3pm today (Sat) though Sunday evening this weekend, Come get 'em at the OUTDOOR stand by the garden at the Independence library

I have started back to teaching last week and it makes it hard to get flowers on the stand by Friday during the school year, BUT if you find yourself in need of fresh, local, and chemical-free flowers mid week, let me know!

Happy back to school/ back to responsibilities...

This year I am FINALLY doing something I've been wanting to create for years- a dried marigold garland for Dia de los Mu***os!

Why does it have to be marigolds? I was wondering the same, so last year I did some research. I found out that marigolds have been used for thousands of years by people of Mexico in ceremonies to honor deceased ancestors because of the bright color and scent. It was believed that this flower would help guide their ancestors back to the land of the living.

I have long admired the Mexican holiday Day of the Dead/Dia de Los Mu***os for its celebration and remembrace of our loved ones who have left this world.

After Covid took so many from us and my dad passed from it in 2020, my family started celebrating Dia de los Mu***os. Celebrating in this way has been extremely cathartic to me and it has become one of my favorite holidays (possibly my favorite).

So finally I'm getting to make something extra to add to our ofrenda on that day. I'll make sure to post the final product!

If you are reading this and also celebrate this vibrant holiday, let me know!

Dried flowers were the artistic medium of the day last Saturday!

These were some of the talented and fun ladies who created everlasting bunches in my class at the Independence branch library from the flowers here at Laughing Earth Flower Farm. We mixed a few fresh flowers in with mostly dried and talked about different drying methods and some of the beautiful things that can be made from dried flowers.

Now is the time to start gathering your late summer blooms, tie a string around them and hang them upside down in a cool place with low/no light to dry. After a couple of weeks, you can experiment with your own dried flower bouquet! There are lots of great books at our library about drying flowers too if you need some inspiration!

If you are looking for someone else's gorgeous dried flower creations, check out my artistic friend Rachel at Freshly Brood! I am lucky enough to have some of her pieces hanging in my house!

Kenton County Public Library ,Dawn, thank you so much for asking me back!
