Pick “Fresh”

Embrace the season to create simple, natural arrangements. 

Autumn has a shimmering, saturated color palette, as seen in protea, banksia, grevillea and leucadendron and more…

So, next time you shop for flowers, ask where they came from and who grew them.

Buying “local” means your blooms will be fresher and last longer.  Enjoy!!!

We Thank Thee

For flowers that bloom about our feet; 

For tender grass, so sweet; 

For song of bird, and hum of bee; 

For all Things fair we hear or see, 

Father in heaven, we thank Thee! 

For blue of stream and blue of sky; 

For pleasant shade of branches high; 

For fragrant air and cooling breeze; 

For beauty of the blooming trees, 

Father in heaven, we thank Thee! 

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) 

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here on the Farm!
