A few weeks ago, I caught this sunset over the field directly across the road from The Willie Mae.

This land is farmed by our neighbors, and I love getting a front-row seat to farming on this scale—the planting, harvesting, long days, big equipment, changing seasons, and all the work that most people never see.

We grow plenty here at Whitewater Creek Farm, but I have tremendous respect for what I think of as the real-deal farmers—the men and women farming hundreds or thousands of acres, producing the crops that ultimately help feed and supply all of us.

It’s easy to walk through a grocery store and forget just how much work happens before anything ever reaches a shelf.

One of the things I love most about living in a rural farming community is that I’m reminded of it every single day.

Fields are planted. Crops grow. Equipment rolls down the road. Harvest comes around again.

And behind all of it are farm families doing work that matters.

I’m awfully grateful to live among them. 🌾

The Willie Mae is starting to ease into fall. 🍂 A few seasonal favorites are making their way in, along with plenty of the farm goodness you already know and love.

And I just added the first dried flowers of the season! You’ll find our Field + Vine wreaths, along with bunches of dried flowers from the farm — grab a bundle for your own project or simply drop them in a vase and enjoy. 🤎

One little note about fresh flowers: I may not always have bouquets waiting in the cooler right now, but I’m still cutting! 💐 If you’d like flowers, just send me a message and I’ll be happy to have a bouquet waiting for you in the cooler.

Come by and see what’s at the Willie Mae this week. 🍂

Sedum is one of those perennials that earns its place in the cutting garden.

You can harvest it before it blooms for beautiful green texture or wait for the flowers to open for a completely different look. It’s incredibly versatile, lasts a long time in the vase, and adds wonderful texture and fullness to arrangements.

And the best part? It comes back year after year. 🌿

I struggled with drying flowers for YEARS. 🌼

Too much humidity, flowers that lost their color, stems that just didn’t dry the way I hoped…there was definitely some trial and error!

But I finally found a simple method that works for me — even here in the South.

So I put everything I’ve learned into a FREE How to Dry Flowers Guide for you.

If you’ve ever wanted to save some of those beautiful blooms from your garden, this is for you.

My chicken coop garden is a little wild right now—and I kind of love it.

Peas are growing everywhere, but they’re covering the soil and helping keep the weeds down. Loofah gourds have climbed right up into the trees, wandered down into the hollow, and pretty much decided for themselves where they want to grow.

Nothing about it is perfectly manicured.
Nothing is growing in neat little rows.

But it’s green. It’s productive. It’s alive. And it brings me joy.

Sometimes I think we need the reminder that a beautiful garden doesn’t have to be a perfect garden.

I know it’s still August and the South is nowhere near finished with summer… but I’m ready for just a little hint of fall. 🍂

For me, it starts with the flowers—deeper, moodier colors, lots of texture, and an arrangement that feels like the season is beginning to shift.

No pumpkins required. Just flowers doing what they do best. 🤎

Happy 80th Birthday to my Mama! 🤍

Today we’re celebrating BIG — 80 years deserves nothing less! 🎉

Of course, I had to bring a little piece of the farm to the table, so I’m filling bud vases with fresh blooms for her celebration. 🌸

So thankful for my mama and for the gift of getting to celebrate this milestone with her. Here’s to 80 beautiful years!

You know those plants you bring home with every intention of planting…then leave sitting in their container until they’re half dead? 🙋‍♀️

This is my solution—a plant holding area.

Bring it home. Stick it in the ground here. Keep it watered and happy. Then, when you actually have time to figure out where it belongs, dig it up and move it to its permanent home.

Because sometimes the best place for a new plant is simply in the ground. 🌿

Long after the fresh bouquets are gone, these blooms keep telling the story of the season. Every bundle hanging here was planted, nurtured, harvested, and carefully dried to preserve a little piece of summer.
