This isn’t just a class; it’s your invitation into the “vault” 🔓. Join me for an intimate evening at Gia mastering the art of seed starting.
🔗 Grab one of our limited spots! https://www.giampls.com/store/sipandsow

🌱 What’s inside:
Exclusive access to “ungettable” seeds (including Floret Flower Farm Zinnias!).

Pro tips on germination and soil health.

Seasonal bites and fine Italian wine from Gia.

Every guest leaves with a professional-grade starting kit and a tray of future “stunners.”

Soft spring layers 🌸

Blush roses, smoky protea, budding branches, and all the in-between textures that make my heart skip a beat. I love letting the stems move naturally and tell their own story — a little wild, a little romantic, and full of life.

This one feels like the season slowly waking up. ✨

Restaurant Week feels extra meaningful this year.
This arrangement is sitting pretty at Gia, one of our very favorite neighborhood spots - where good food, good people, and real community meet at the table.

Restaurant Week has always been about celebrating the places that shape how and where we gather. And right now, showing up truly matters. Filling seats makes a difference - for the chefs, servers, and teams who pour their hearts into our local food scene every single day.

If you’ve been meaning to go, this is your sign. Support local. Eat well. Sit a little longer. 💛

Not every bloom becomes a bouquet, and instead of letting them go, I dry them. 🌾✨

Each season I experiment: harvesting earlier or later for the best dried form, chasing richer color and fuller blooms, hanging them, pressing them, flattening them, microwaving them (yes!), and tucking them away in dark rooms to see what magic happens.

There’s something deeply calming and almost meditative about working with dried flowers. Slower. Quieter. Creative in a whole different way.

I’m dreaming up a dried flower art workshop…
Would you want to be part of that?
What would you want to make? 🌾🎨

While there is still snow on the ground in MN, I’m dreaming of warmer days (and ruffled blooms!) 🌸❄️ Starting my Viola wittrockiana ‘Flamenco’ seeds today!

Italian Viola wittrockiana Flamenco flowers (or Flamenco series pansies) are special for their unique, large, double and semi-double, heavily ruffled blooms, which are rarely found in traditional pansies.

These gorgeous ruffled blooms are also incredibly cold-hardy, making them perfect for our unpredictable springs.

I’m hoping to get a head start on that early spring color to feed the pollinators and fill bouquets with this unique fluffy pearled variety 💃.

🌱 Steps I’m taking:
• Darkness to Germinate: Violas prefer darkness to start, so I’m covering my tray with a recycled black plastic bag.
• Cooler Temps: They don’t need intense heat to germinate, 60-70°F is perfect.
• Move to Light: Once they sprout (10-14 days), they need bright light to prevent leggy seedlings.

Sending love and hope to everyone today. Lean on your community, lift each other up, and never lose sight of the possibility for brighter days. There is hope. There is always hope. ✨

Another fabulous fall flower workshop at Gia last night ✨🍂
My heart is so full — huge thank you to Gia for hosting, and an even bigger shout-out to everyone who came. What a fun, creative, joy-filled group of people to design with. I love seeing each arrangement come to life in its own unique way.

🌿 Next workshop alert!
I’ll be back at Gia on Saturday, December 20th for a special holiday arranging class. There are only a few tickets left — grab yours before they’re gone!
