Green Leaf Farm is a beautiful spot for an intimate event. I am always happy to supply flowers for them to use (very artistically!).

It is a wonderful week to show appreciation with fresh, locally grown flowers! Bouquets this week are full of the most beautiful assortment of peonies, snapdragons, anemones, and more. Reserve yours at https://www.shopnothingnew.com/curiosity-farm or pop in to Nothing New each day to choose from what I've set out.

I have to sing the praises of the today. What a truly fabulous flower. It’s so extravagant—large, fragrant, and beautiful. Despite having some damaged buds, overall, the crop has been abundant. I can’t wait to stuff them into bouquets from now to Mother’s Day!!!

I’m so excited to share these beautiful ranunculus with you all!! Nothing New is open from 10 AM - 6 PM all weekend, so come get them while they last! I will restock during the weekend, but you don’t want to miss your favorite colors. Choose a bundle for $12 or 3 bundles for $32! These flowers look delicate, but last a very long time. Enjoy!

It’s that time of year when I am thinking constantly of tulips! They have to be harvested often, since they open quickly in the warm weather. Don’t worry, these are the very earliest varieties! I have thousands more for you to pick and for us to enjoy over the next month (I’m working on the you-pick schedule now). For now, they’re available at 165 Brumley Ave in downtown Concord!

My own freshly picked tulips are coming to the shop tomorrow (hooray!), but today I have to highlight some dried flower wreaths I just dropped off! Perfect for celebrating spring. 🌷🐣🌿

Shop views! Flowers, so many new seeds, plants, and vintage!

It felt good to fill the shop with flowers again! Daffodils (narcissus) grown by my mom , anemones grown by Teri , and tulips grown by Sally !!! We are just starting the beautiful spring flower season.

Gorgeous Valentine’s flowers, all grown locally, are available now to preorder! These are lush bouquets featuring really special tulips and anemones and scented narcissus. I’m thrilled to be partnering with Sally and Teri to bring you these fabulous blooms. Pick up on a convenient day for you this Friday - Sunday or Tuesday/Wednesday of next week! I’ll reach out to confirm when that is after you place your order. Nothing New is located at 165 Brumley Ave., Concord, NC 28025.

A few days of spring-like weather, some gorgeous flowers, and I’m feeling optimistic! How about you? Tulips and anemones grown by Sally and anemones and paperwhites by me.

Looking forward to this Saturday morning (9:30 AM Jan. 27) at Provided Coffee/Nothing New! We'll be talking about plants--classifications, how to start from seeds and cuttings, my favorite sources, and how to research plant needs! 🌷 Reserve your spot at https://www.shopnothingnew.com/product/gardening-with-nature-class-2/6303?cs=true&cst=custom
Each ticket is good for a household, and includes a seed packet or $5 plant 🪴 of your choice from my shop space in Nothing New, a huge vintage clothing shop in downtown Concord (165 Brumley Ave. NE, Concord, NC 28025).
The next class in my Gardening with Nature course will cover garden maintenance: a sometimes overwhelming subject that I'll simplify to help you find success. 🌿

I'm extremely excited to announce that I've put together a short course on gardening that should help anyone plan and successfully achieve the garden that suits their lifestyle, garden site, and goals! These sessions will be around an hour, with 30 - 40 minutes of time used for me to present the material I have developed, and with 20 - 30 minutes for us to discuss specifics that pertain to topics covered in that week's class. I'll be providing handouts with everything I cover in the talking portion so that you can review it later, and think through how to tailor the information to your specific garden!
The first 4 classes will take place at Provided Coffee/Nothing New (165 Brumley Ave NE, Concord, NC 28025) at 9:30 AM starting Saturday, January 20. The final class will be a field trip to my flower farm (Curiosity Farm), and we will schedule that on Feb. 24, March 2, or March 16 depending on weather and on the input of those attending the classes. Each class includes your choice of a $5 plant from my shop or a packet of seeds! I look forward to sharing the joy of gardening! If you have a friend you think would enjoy this course, please share! Let me know if I can answer any questions!

I’m excited to share that we will be offering fresh, locally grown flowers every Friday during the winter months! These beautiful tulips are grown by Sally in China Grove, NC. She produces them in the big basement under the farm house that’s been in her family for generations. I am thrilled to be partnering with her to bring these super fresh and perfect blooms to Concord. The bouquets this week are simple—my home grown curly willow and her tulips that will mature to a cherry red. I hope you will enjoy them. Available only at this time!

This Saturday at 10:30 AM, we'll have a Bring Your Own Container amaryllis workshop at Nothing New! You'll be able to pot up an amaryllis bulb (included in the cost of the workshop) and paperwhite bulbs in containers you already have around the house! I'll also have containers available in the shop. This is a great way to have flowers in the house all through the holiday season. Your containers will look beautiful finished with preserved moss, and we'll discuss how best to take care of your bulbs while they're blooming, and after they are finished. After you save your spot in the workshop, I'll be in touch to see what color amaryllis bulb I should set aside for you!
We'll be meeting at Nothing New in downtown Concord (165 Brumley Ave NE, Concord, NC 28025) where my shop space is! You can even grab a coffee from Provided Coffee to enjoy while we plant, and have a leisurely lunch at Southern Strain Brewery afterwards!

100% local pumpkin 💐 arrangements for your Thanksgiving celebration! 🍁 Order to pick up at Nothing New Quality Threads at 165 Brumley Ave NE, Concord, NC 28025 on Sunday, Tuesday, or Wednesday between 10 AM - 6 PM. 🦃 After you place your order, I’ll email you to ask your expected pickup date and what your color preferences are! 🌻

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I have memories of huge family gatherings, the table decorated with foraged leaves and berries and pumpkins, and of course, great food. Whether your gathering will be with friends or family this year, let's not skip this special time to stop, think about our blessings, and share the gifts God has given to us. 🌾

This will be one of the last weeks for fresh local flowers. A hard freeze is forecasted for Tuesday and Wednesday evenings (so bring in your tender plants!), and that will kill the zinnias and dahlias. Thankfully, we should have chrysanthemums a little longer. Take a minute to enjoy the beauty of your garden today!

Overnight low of 24 degrees forecasted for Tuesday and Wednesday nights!
Cut your flowers and bring in your plants!

Dahlias (and other flowers!) are still blooming, so get them while you can! and in the shop ! We are closed for you pick for the season.

And we are open! What a dream this is! I’m feeling very grateful today, because I could have not stocked this space without my parents’ help. My dad handmade these beautiful cutting boards, and my mom helped me figure out the layout of the space, propagated plants, and found vintage and antique items for the space. They are the best. I’m thankful as well for my husband’s help in securing installations, and my kids’ hard work hauling items in and out. This has been a team effort!!! I invite you to check it out— is open 10 AM - 6 PM Tuesday - Sunday. opens a little earlier: 8 AM - 6 PM! 165 Brumley Ave NE, Concord, NC 28025 in downtown Concord.

Hi all—I hate to have to do this, but I need to cancel you pick tomorrow. I am very sorry to anyone who was planning to come. It looks like rain is predicted, so hopefully we will have a lush and healthy garden next week!

It’s almost September, and there are a lot of dates on the calendar for you to come pick flowers!
The 2nd photo is courtesy of and shows beautifully what is blooming right now. The dahlias are all budding up, and will be available in greater quantities every week.
The last slide shows ‘s adorable mascot, since we will have flowers available to purchase at their sale this weekend (Friday through Monday)!!! https://goo.gl/maps/naYrDyQZciC3HNSn6 I’m making up jars and filling some cool vintage pottery vases that I’ve been collecting. Thanks as always for your support of my small farm.

Thanks to those who have been braving the heat to come pick flowers! It’s hot but rewarding. Here are some $15 jars I made for this evening. You can always order these for next day pickup (every day but Sunday) through the link on my profile.

The late summer garden. The celosia and zinnias are unphased by the extreme heat of the last few weeks! We’re open tonight for you to pick flowers, and again on Saturday from 5:30 PM to dark on both days. Come fill a French flower bucket for $30 (bucket not included) or a large jar for $20.
