A Giving Garden Fall

 Celebrate the season’s bounty…

I simply ADORE Fall! Our bouquets, filled with vibrant colored dahlias, hydrangeas in ever changing hues, and pods, grasses and broom corn, usher in the beloved fall-ish feel that welcomes all things flannel. And though we work hard to harvesting blooms for our fresh bouquets, much effort goes into keeping up with the tasks that make for a great coming Winter and Spring.

This is the season of drying blooms that will be used on our ‘Dressed Up’ pumpkins, boxwood trees and Christmas wreaths. We’re also carefully digging, dividing and storing all the tubers that produce those coveted dahlia blooms and hail the start of our Spring season with our annual tuber sale in March. We find that, after the killing frosts, our shortening days are spent putting the gardens to bed while simultaneously prepping them for future planting. Probably one of the busiest times for a flower farmer, Fall can bring a sense of relief when all the tasks are done while inducing dreams of the bounty of next year’s gardens.
