Continue ShoppingTo lighten the mood and freshen spirits as we move to 2021 we are doing 24 straight days of giveaways!! Each giveaway is open for 24 hours. One every day until December 24th.
We are kicking off with Amy Merrick.
Amy Merrick, author of ON FLOWERS considers herself an accidental florist. As she speaks about it in interviews for her book, it’s about not knowing where her path was leading and being spontaneous. Well who hasn’t felt that way this past year? It’s Amy’s chapter on Humble Pleasures that resonates with us during times like these, even as flower farmers, we have learned to see the beauty in humble flowers like four leaf clovers, daffodils and even dandelions. Let’s face it, in a world of global pandemic we all need to find joy in the simple things.
Her book is an inspiration for those seeking to find meaning in a life of flowers. Amazing photography and easy to identify with word crafting.
Amy Merrick’s book, ON FLOWERS, Lessons from an Accidental Florist is our first of 24 days of giveaways this month. Today we celebrate humble things and our love for them. One lucky winner will receive Amy’s book and packs of Amazing Grey Poppies, Double Click Cosmos, and much sought after Eucalyptus seed from Stems Flower Farm.
For a chance to win leave a comment below. In your message share what has brought you joy in the past months, what growing flowers means to you, anything really, as long as it's meant to pick people up. EASY. This giveaway is open to Canadian shipping address only. Contest is open December 1st for 24 hours. Closes December 1st at midnight PT.
Of course, if you know someone who would be inspired by Amy and how she became an accidental florist, please share!

It is such a wonderfully positive experience to dream about what we can all plant in the spring. Thumbing through beautiful books and seed catalogs are what keep me going during the coldest and darkest months of the year, especially this one! It is a boost that we all need. Keep on dreaming all you amazing gardening nerds!!!

Thank you for inviting us to reflect on joy, Heidi and Kevin. What has brought me joy in the past months is slowing way down, and trying to do little things well. Small acts, nicely done. This could be washing a tea cup, planting a seed, pulling up a stubborn weed, or putting my baby to sleep at night. Repetitive actions tend to get swept into a mindless frenzy, but slowing down and being intentional has helped me during the rising tides of emotion that threaten to swallow me up. And dreaming of next spring’s flower haul helps too :)

This year my 5 year old step son and I bonded over planing and watering sunflower seeds. It was amazing to see his joy and anticipation into watering and checking them and then watching the buds break through the soil for the first time.

When my children were little (they’re now in their 30’s), we would plant flower seeds, witness the marvel of a growing garden, and wander through the flower garden, sometimes with a magnifying glass. They loved to inspect insects up close, and to see the star-shaped pistils of cosmos, among so many other wonders. I look forward to sharing these experiences with my grandchildren as they grow up.
