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!

I was so happy to discover your shop last spring – nice to have such a wonderful collection of seeds north of the border! Eagerly anticipating the moment when I can place the order for some lisianthus and snapdragon seeds. And maybe a dozen others as well.

I live in a small town in northern BC. Our winters are cold and long and can bring your spirits down if you let it. Over the years I’ve found that two things get us through. The first is learning to lean in and embrace the winter. Find an activity outside you love to do and enjoy the slow pace of spending more time inside reading books and baking. The second thing is the appreciate the hope and anticipation of spring. Gardening has been a big part of that for me. Spending the cold winter months planning my small garden and browsing the seed catalogues and website brings so much joy and hope in another wise dreary time. While 2020 has been a tough year for many, there is still the promise of another spring and more gardening to do ☺️

My daughter and I are starting a small cut flower farm in 2021 as there is nothing available where we live. While we are both avid and accomplished gardeners, there is so much more to learn! So, we are gobbling up every resource that can come our way.
