Continue ShoppingThis past summer we were amazed how many people from our area came to visit us at our new farm stand. We even got to know several “regulars” who stopped in often for flowers, or produce, or sometimes just a quick conversation. We have to admit, we had a blast for our first summer with a farm stand here halfway between Cookstown and Alliston. Our little farm stand grew week by week and we entertained more and more people too. When things weren’t too busy people often asked Heidi about flowers, and about growing vegetables, and more often than not, the conversation would grow with the next customer to drive in.
One conversation piece that always comes up is how giving flowers or getting a bouquet makes people feel. Think about it, flowers are an emotional gift. Mostly our flowers are around for happy occasions. They are go-to gifts when celebrating; anniversaries, birthdays, engagements, retirements, or just to make someone feel better.. They are the gift you pick up when saying thank you; for a dinner invite, for doing something special without being asked.
So for 2021 we are expanding our gardens for you to enjoy on a whole new level. We invite you to come and meander a special garden, over an acre in size, that you can sift through thousands of flowers to find your very own bouquet. Our Cutting Garden will open as soon as mother nature allows in 2021. Imagine how you will feel lazing in the sunshine while the perfumed aroma of row upon row of flowers rush to greet you. This is relaxation on a whole new level. We know many of our visitors last summer were looking for an escape from the confines of the pandemic, well this absolutely qualifies as your answer.
So Day 7 of our Twenty-Four Days of Giveaways is a VIP Voucher for Two to enjoy our Cutting Garden anytime next growing season. You and a friend will come to the farm, only needing only appropriate footwear and we will do the rest. We will provide full instruction on how to cut our lovely blooms, and how to best care for them after you leave. As an additional bonus you’ll receive a $10 off gift card for use at our Farm Stand. You'll need a couple of hours for you and a friend to enjoy this entire package.

My favorite thing to do is picking hyacinth for my daughter so that she can make flower necklaces. I grow hyacinth solely for this purchase.

This past summer I cut blooms off our false spirea for the first time. They make an amazing cut flower lasting a long time in the vase. I like to cut them before the clusters of flowers open. Hard to describe but envision a white lilac flower where each of the flowers is a tiny white ball. Once in the vase each ‘ball’ slowly opens into a tiny fuzzy flower. It’s really lovely. When left outside the blooms invite all manner of insects…some that I don’t ever see any where else. It must be said though that this plant is incredibly invasive. It would take over the world if given the chance! I have landscape fabric around ours and I keep an eye on it. I also don’t have any other plant near it…on purpose. But to me it’s worth it as it’s a beautiful large perennial shrub that puts on quite a show for a very long time🤍☀️
Loving all of your posts! Thanks so much♥️❄️🌸
