Let me start here… Erin , THANKYOU. 💐

Your vision and heart behind Sowing Seeds of Love: The Black History Month Seed Exchange was something truly beautiful. What you created was more than a seed swap. It was love, generosity, and community traveling through the mail across the BFF family, and I’m still smiling about it.

Now let’s talk about my seed swap partner Natasha , because baby…
She SHOWED UP and SHOWED OUT! 🫶🏾🙌🏾🤗

When my package arrived and I opened the box, I immediately started smiling. Inside were ranunculus (my FAVORITE!) Butterfly varieties, Tecolote Yellow, Pastello Dolce Vita, plus delphiniums and sunflowers. The whole box felt like JOY wrapped up and delivered to my doorstep.

But what really touched my heart was her handwritten note. That moment reminded me this exchange was never just about seeds, bulbs, or corms.

It’s about CONNECTION, ENCOURAGEMENT, and the LOVE we pour into this community. 👩🏾‍🌾🚜👨🏾‍🌾

Now I can’t wait to plant these beauties and watch the magic happen. And when those blooms show up on the farm, I’ll definitely be thinking about the love that started it all.

Because around here we know one thing for sure… when you plant something with LOVE, it always finds a way to BLOOM. 🙌🏾💖🖤

Day 13 Black Agriculture Icons & Blooms

Frederick McKinley Jones changed agriculture forever with his invention of the portable refrigeration unit in 1940. Before refrigerated transport, farmers could only sell what stayed fresh close to home. His innovation allowed fruits, vegetables, dairy, and other perishable goods to travel long distances without spoiling, opening new markets, reducing food waste, and transforming the modern food supply chain.

For Frederick McKinley Jones, we chose the tulip, a flower that rests in the cold before rising strong and vibrant.

Today, his impact reaches beyond food. Flower farmers rely on cold storage every season, especially for tulip forcing, where bulbs require carefully controlled cold periods before they bloom. That same refrigeration technology helps growers time flowers perfectly and deliver fresh blooms to communities near and far.

A reminder that preparation, patience, and innovation create growth we can all experience.

From harvest to home, his legacy still moves with us every day. 🌷✨

What’s one flower or food you always look forward to each season?

Day 12 of Black Agriculture Icons & Blooms 🖼

Today we honor Clementine Hunter, a self-taught artist who preserved Black Southern agricultural life through her paintings.

Born to sharecroppers in Louisiana, she worked the fields before picking up a paintbrush later in life.

Through bold color and honest scenes, she captured harvests, church gatherings, labor, joy, and resilience.
For Clementine Hunter, we choose the Poppy to honor her legacy. A bloom that symbolizes remembrance and heritage, just like her art continues to preserve memory for generations.

Day 11 of Black Agriculture Icons & Blooms 🌸
Today we honor George Edward Alcorn Jr., physicist, engineer, inventor, and proud Howard University alum. His groundbreaking work in imaging technology, including the X-ray spectrometer, helped shape modern science and opened new doors for agriculture.
While not a traditional farmer, Alcorn’s innovations laid the foundation for tools growers use today: soil analysis, crop monitoring, remote sensing, and precision agriculture. His brilliance helped farmers work smarter, protect resources, and strengthen our food systems.
We pair his legacy with the Iris, a flower that symbolizes vision and wisdom. Like the iris, George Alcorn Jr. helped us see possibilities more clearly and imagine a better future.

Day 10 – Dr. Thomas Monroe Campbell | The Sage of Agricultural Wisdom 🌿
On Day 10 of Black Agriculture Icons & Blooms, we celebrate Dr. Thomas Monroe Campbell, a visionary agricultural scientist, educator, and extension pioneer whose life work transformed farming communities across the South.
Born in Georgia, Dr. Campbell understood early that knowledge was the most powerful tool a farmer could possess. Through perseverance and determination, he became one of the first African American agricultural extension agents in the United States, carrying modern farming methods directly to rural Black farmers who had long been denied access to resources and education.
Working alongside both Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver at Tuskegee Institute, and later serving with the United States Department of Agriculture, Dr. Campbell helped bridge the gap between science and the soil. He taught practical skills in crop rotation, soil conservation, and sustainable farming, empowering families to improve their harvests, their land, and their lives.
To honor his legacy, I chose Sage as his bloom. 🌿 Sage symbolizes wisdom, guidance, and resilience, qualities that perfectly reflect Dr. Campbell’s lifelong mission. Like the sage plant, his influence continues to grow quietly but powerfully, offering knowledge and strength to every generation that follows.
Dr. Campbell believed that education could change communities from the ground up. He mentored countless farmers, advocated for equitable access to agricultural tools, and proved that progress in farming begins with progress in people.
His legacy reminds us that agriculture is more than crops and fields. It is community, opportunity, and hope.

Leah Penniman | A Rudbeckia Rooted in Justice ✊🏾🌼
Day 8, and I had an epiphany— the land tells a story if we listen. It holds our history, our traditions, and our future. Some hear it as a whisper. Others, like Leah Penniman, turn that whisper into a calling.
Leah Penniman is a Kreyol farmer, teacher, mentor, and author who has spent her life ensuring that Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) farmers have the resources, skills, and support to thrive. As co-founder and co-director of Soul Fire Farm (.farm), she works to restore the connection between land and community, proving that farming is not just about growing food—it’s about creating opportunity, resilience, and empowerment.
To honor Leah’s strength and vision, today’s bloom is the Rudbeckia, or Black-Eyed Susan. 💛 A flower that flourishes in unexpected places, bringing light and life wherever it grows—just like Leah’s work in the agricultural world.
Through her book, Farming While Black, Leah reminds us that the land is more than just soil—it’s a relative to be cared for, respected, and learned from. Her work shows us that food connects us all, and that access to fresh, nourishing food should be available to everyone, especially the hands that cultivate it.
🌿 How can you support a more just and sustainable food system? Whether it’s buying from a local BIPOC farmer, growing your own food, or sharing knowledge, every small step makes a difference. Drop a 🌱 in the comments and share how you’re helping food justice take root!

Black history is 365 days. ✊🏾🌱

Last year, I began Black Agriculture Icons & Blooms, a series honoring Black agricultural pioneers who have shaped the way we farm, cultivate, and innovate in food and flower production. Throughout history, from revolutionizing soil conservation to advocating for food sovereignty, these icons have left an enduring legacy that continues to shape our communities.

Before the series was complete, I had to pause. My health came first.
But this story was never meant to stay unfinished.

We’re picking it back up by continuing with the same Black agricultural icons first highlighted in 2024 and finishing what we started.

Each icon is paired with a symbolic bloom, using the language of flowers to reflect their resilience, wisdom, and lasting impact. 🌼🌿

Because our stories matter.
Our legacy matters. 🌱✊🏾

🌍 Follow along as we continue honoring these icons and the seeds they’ve sown.
