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 have always loved growing vegetables and flowers but space was limited. Now that I have lots of space I want to grow enough so that I can share with friends and family. My mother, who lived more than 100 years, always made sure that guests left with a bouquet of what was blooming. I look forward to sharing the joy of growing plants with my grandchildren.

I am a nurse by career choice . This has been one of the most challenging years of my career not just due to the pandemic but a work injury that has me home awaiting surgery ..but…I bought a book and it inspired me to the point that I feel passionate again and have a need to learn and read and learn more .. I find myself reading and learning hours every day whatever it be… gardening books .. you tube , social media ..I’m hooked ..I wake up and can’t wait to learn more …I’ve purchased seeds, grow lights ,heat mats, hoop houses, compost ..my husband gave me an acre of his field closest to the house …I’m learning patience which is hard for me…I’m learning to listen to the birds and watch the sun and the moon .. I track the weather ..it’s so crazy because I never paid attention to these things ..I grumbled when the weather wasn’t what I hoped for and I had to change my plans ..now I embrace each day …and make the best of what I have ..so I guess long story short ..I consider myself a accidental flower farmer…

I’m not really a gardener, I don’t have a passion for gardening. But I love how beautiful my garden looks with minimal effort
