In continuation of the introduction of our chicks, here is Cosmo! 🌸 Cosmo is the largest chick in our flock of four. I love watching her change as she is a bit ahead of the others. I need to take more pictures. She’s already changed so much since this was taken a couple of weeks ago. ⁣

Sunflower, cynoglossum, cosmo, agrostemma, coreopsis, zinnia, and marigold make quite a lovely arrangement. ⁣

Happy Friday flower friends!⁣
⁣
There are some new faces around here so I’d like to reintroduce myself.⁣
⁣
My name is Lily, it’s meant to be, I know! I never, in my wildest dreams, saw myself as a small farmer of any kind. I’m fact, I knew I would grow up to become someone important in the medical or dental field lol. Life happened and I met my husband, a good ole country boy who loves nature and the outdoors more than anything in this world (except for me of course. 😉😌) I fell in love with his lifestyle and began to see the world through his eyes.⁣ Now I can’t imagine sitting in an office or building working a 9-5 for the rest of my life. Becoming a full time flower farmer has been the most liberating thing I’ve ever experienced.
As I’ve began to find myself I’ve realized how important it is for me to take care of the piece of earth the Lord has given my husband and I. I’ve implemented sustainable and regenerative growing practices, we’ve planted food for ourselves and our native wildlife, I’m working on bringing back native plants and grasses to create a balanced environment on our acres. ⁣There’s lots to do out here and lots to tend to. In my free time I enjoy reading, drinking tea, and making jams and breads. Thank you all, as always, for following me and supporting this local flower farm! 🌼💛 ⁣

I had the pleasure of creating some arrangements for Wilmington’s newest restaurant, The Half, ! They will have their grand opening today at 12PM and are located at 510 1/2 Red Cross Street. A huge congratulations to them for accomplishing all they did to bring this place to life. Stop by sometime today, if you can, to welcome them! ❤️ ⁣

I planted a native wildflower area specifically for our pollinators, and I’ve noticed the bees go crazy for this coreopsis. 🌼🐝 ⁣

In case you missed my stories, we got chicks yesterday! Meet Clover, a brave little thing. She came right up to my hand the minute I met her while her three sisters stayed away. I can already tell she’s extremely intelligent. I’m excited to raise chickens for the first time ever. It’s interesting to see that each chick already has it’s own big personality.🐥🐣🐥 ⁣

Our yarrow season has officially started! I love it’s dense tiny flower clusters tucked into bouquets. ☁️🤍 A fun fact about Yarrow is that it is also a medicinal plant that has been used to stop bleeding and to aid with digestive issues. We love a multipurpose plant! ⁣

I’ve pinched off hundreds of peony buds but decided to leave just this one to see at least one flower. 😭 The plants first buds are pinched off to force the plant to focus all of its energy into producing strong healthy roots rather than spending energy on short and small stems and flowers. ⁣
