A season of harvest, observation and learning that building a flower farm is as much about what you leave out as what you choose to grow.

The lisianthus field begins to settle into early summer as plants branch out and form their first buds. An update from the field crew on growth, pests, fertilizer, foxes and the season.

Lisianthus seedlings are transplanted into the field, with early challenges including pest, weather swings and nutrient balance as the plants establish.

560+ lisianthus seeds sown. A modest beginning and the first step toward a field of wildflowers. Now… we wait to see what sprouts.

An early start on fall clean up. A weekend of moving, re-arranging, and letting plants, pollinators and the garden itself set the pace for the next growing season.

A van, a cross-country move, a field, a mischievous Bandit, and a handful of seeds. Now there are tomato summers and rows of flowers.
