bliss bird flowers

Euphorbia Kilimanjaro. It’s a slow burn this one. Coming on strong now and getting more of the white snow effect as days go by. So far a good filler for bouquets - long lasting and creating interest - maybe even curiosity. Still not sure if it wants to be pinched as a young plant to promote growth. DM me if you have experience. Xo

Delphinium ‘Cliveden Beauty’ are the periwinkle beauties in this arrangement. We were successful with a few plants. Hoping to do a full or half of a 100ft bed next year. The length! The iridescent colour! The texture! The longevity! Just wild!

One colour palette coming out of the fields this week is cool and calm. The forget me nots are a seed from a farm called - the seed (bred by them) is called Ms Marilyn. The colour is bananas! And new this year to our field is euphorbia. It looks as though snow is sitting on its leaves. And afternoon white cosmos forever this summer:)

Lime Millet is a new discovery for us. It’s a grass with a flare ! We are a fan of it in mixed bouquets and will try to dry some as well. It seems they could grow longer and be less upright. Let the experiment continue:)

So much gratitude for all of the folks who supported us tulip subscriptions. This is the colour palette for the final bouquet on those subscriptions.

Now open with tons of options - summer bouquet subscriptions:))) see link in bio for details.

To all of you who are new (and old) to my account - I offer you a warm welcome ! I’d like to slow down today and take a moment to say “hello” and let you in on some background about myself and our farm.

I spent my childhood on my parents’ farms located in a community that celebrates self-sustaining agriculture. This is where I became entwined with nature and community living in all its beauty and power. This experience influenced the dream to become a flower farmer and turn my passion for agriculture into a sustainable income. I dream about a community that supports each other with solutions for environmental wellness.

On a ¼ acre of land, we are able to produce thousands of blooms that support our members, retail outlets, and wholesale customers. As this journey continues, I am encouraged by my community’s interest and excitement around efforts supporting local and seasonal produce.

With that I wish you all a wonderful, beauty filled day.

Third times a charm :) I am currently going through the course for a third year. It’s fascinating how many gems of information keep popping up each time I run through it. Concepts that were lost on me the last two times I went through are now understood. This course paired with going out there and trying (and failing) ***and suceeding*** works for me. Thanks Erin and Jill (and all the behind the scenes folks) for the support and love. Wishing all you farmers a great start to the 2024 planning. XO

It was two years ago that we found the name for this endeavour. After spending the holidays at my folks place in the Gaspésie. I found this book of Ukrainian authored children’s stories. One of the stories had a « Bliss Bird » in it and we haven’t looked back. Thanks to the author Vsevolod Nestaiko for the inspiration.

A handmade thank-you card from the folks who did a wonderful job at organizing the . So much gratitude for each one of them (including the volunteers). Professional, dependable, loving and kind would sum up my experience with the folks that made the market happen this year.

This was the first year we tried dahlias. To keep cost low we started most by seed instead of tubers. With seed it’s a mix bag of colour and type. Yesterday, we tagged some plants that we may save tubers for. Another first - saving tubers. We did try growing some dahlias by tubers, but without much luck (late planting, poor quality tubers, w**d suppression…?). Wishing you a beautiful day !

It’s a gift to be able to honour life through flowers. The art direction for these matching arrangements was riverside. Wishing y’all a beautiful day.

Late September harvest for members. Each one of you are incredible. Support through the subscription based model is awesome.

My pops and a friend painted this painting many moons ago (maybe even before I was born). We harvested these dahlias this week. The two seem to be having some secret conversation. May these final days of summer be transitionally fun.

Here we are testing our luck with dahlias. A lot of them have heavy heads. Luckily they keep well in a bit of water on a plate when the heads are snipped. Perfect to help make our market stall look super cute!!

Today members of pick up their bouquets at their selected pick-up points!!! Each one of you are amazingly supportive human beings. Have fun with the marigold party!!!

Marigolds and Zinnias. These are a couple of beauties that you will find tomorrow. We will be there staring at 11am until 5pm (or while supplies last). Thanks for the continued support!

The succession planting of zinnias are loving this heat wave ! This crop has been so kind to us in these first years of farming. Come visit us this Thursday sept 7 from 11am-5pm or while supplies last. Xo

Chez until 19h today:) come say hi!

Bucket Art continues.

Cosmos. They are a staple in our bouquets. We harvest them in bud stage so you can watch them bloom.

Succession Planting. Ever wonder how farms do it - keep the harvest coming all summer/fall long. Here’s a visual at an attempt at it. The plants on the left were planted out in the field late May and the ones on the right a week or so ago. Both Zinnias. The zinnias on the left are currently in bloom and the much smaller will bloom in September.

Here at the farm - we « try » to keep it simple. Do dahlias fit into that category? We will have to wait and see. They survived the frost and are producing long stems and flowers. Hopefully coming to a bouquet near you soon. Thanks for the encouragement in trying out this crop.

Ageratum this one should stick around for another round. It’s a fun one to try and integrate into bouquets.

More bucket art.

This is the last harvest of the Cynoglossum from our spring planting. We got a couple good harvests. We will try to replant for fall blooms, but this may be done in vain. Until next time Cynoglossum.
