And that’s a wrap on our 2021 weddings, y’all. It’s been a WILD fall, filled with color and beauty and texture and warmth and ART. We’ve pushed ourselves creatively and connected with our community to make each one of these events happen.

Now we turn our focus to end-of-season cleanup in the shop and garden, fall bulb and perennial planting, number crunching, goal-setting and REST.

We will only be taking on a very small number of events in 2022 so if you’re looking for artful, seasonal, terroir florals don’t wait to get in touch. We’d love to hear from you.

We plan to announce our 2022 Workshop Calendar before the end of the year so if you’d like to be among the first to hear, make sure you’re signed up for our newsletter.

We live for surprises in the garden.

We knew this variety of cosmos takes FOREVER to bloom and after two years in a row of “wtf is going on with this flower?” we SWORE we wouldn’t grow it for 2021. But I had a big pack of seeds left and was feeling abundant and so I seeded a couple trays back in MARCH. They made their way into the ground in April and finally bloomed this week, 7 months after being sown. From a business perspective these are clearly not worth the bed space. But as far as bringing joy and brightness to my day, well I’d say they’re pure gold.

And they just might be perfect for my sister’s wedding on Saturday. 🌼

This is true #farmdrivenfloraldesign

A wreath that Anna made today as a celebration what’s happening in the garden RIGHT. NOW. It’s what we try to do for each one of our weddings, an authentic snapshot of the natural world in the time and place of your celebration. There’s no shortage of material when you source the way we do, only abundance.

Grow yourself some moonflowers, friends. Their scent is otherworldly.

BABES, our flower fields @rocklandsfarm are seriously pumping out the dahlias this week! Anna and Rachel will be set up under the mulberry tree outside the Tasting Room tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon with wrapped bunches beginning at 2pm until they sell out.

Now that October is upon us, it’s just a matter of time before our first frost so grab these local gems while you can. 🙌🏼

Is this real life?

Zinnias, celosia, and dahlias serving up late summer vibes like nothing else could. You’ll find these and more at our workshop next *Sunday 9/26* with @madebythuanh @rocklandsfarm.

Only TWO spots remain as of right this very minute so if you’d like to join us, don’t dilly dally! Link in bio. Can’t wait.

💛 Flower Painting Workshop 💛

On Sunday 9/26, come spend the afternoon @rocklandsfarm with Anna, Caitlin, and Thu (@madebythuanh / @thuanhpoet)! Together we will learn about which flowers, foliage, and fruits are available locally during this end-of-summer, beginning-of-autumn season and put together a lush and abundant compote arrangement, which we will use to inspire some beautiful floral watercolor paintings.

Workshop will be held outdoors in the corn crib unless weather decides otherwise! Only a few spots remain and we’re keeping the group small to allow for more one-on-one help.

Wanna know more about Thu? Check out her new website! She’s an artist, writer, educator, and activist and one of our dearest friends. She’s hilarious and fun and loves flowers just as much as we do…which is saying something.

Can’t wait to see you at the farm!

*FIVE* years later and still one of our favorite bouquets of all time.

A sweet lil’ tray of boutonnières from Carmen and Otto’s wedding @rocklandsfarm last week. No two exactly alike…brothers, not twins, we like to say.

Dahlias, privet, elderberry bracts, celosia, and golden nutsedge, 100% Sungold farmed + foraged.

First little over-achieving lisianthus bloom, snipped off, and now being enjoyed on my delightfully cluttered kitchen windowsill. The rest won’t be far behind, so stay tuned for a *crop drop* e-mail in the coming weeks. The vase-life on these babies is a DREAM.

Hello old friends…

Watching them bloom is made extra exciting by the fact that none of them are labeled. 😆

Harvesting these insanely cheerful “Afternoon White” and “Double Click” cosmos for our events this weekend, along with Bells of Ireland, nigella pods, phlox, larkspur, yarrow, calendula, baptisia, orlaya, Queen Anne’s Lace, and larkspur. Summer is HERE.

Our Summer Solstice newsletter will be going out on Friday and in it we’ll be announcing an ✨IN-PERSON✨ floral arranging and painting workshop with our dear friend, artist, activist, writer and flower lover @madebythuanh / @thuanhpoet. Make sure you’re signed up for our newsletter to stay in the loop. Just head on over to our website. ☀️

Completely in love with phlox this year. 😍

Not a gorgeous flower photo, but still something worth sharing: this is the average amount of material we throw in the garbage for each and every floral foam free ceremony arch we create. Some tape, a few zip ties, and some bindwire. Every other piece of the mechanics (chicken wire, mason jars, water tubes) gets reused for another occasion. Plant material is either rescued, dried, or composted.

This is a big deal and something we’re super proud of.
