Did Someone Say Flowers???
All of that seed starting has paid off! There are flowers everywhere (YAY!) and I find myself saying “This one is my favorite,” a lot. They all seem to be. Each one is so beautiful & unique in it’s own way. The prairie sun rudbeckia is my favorite because it has green eyes instead of brown ones. The strawflowers are my favorite because they shimmer. The mauve dara is my favorite because the blooms are h-u-g-e & fluffy. The yarrow is my favorite because the pastel colors are just so pretty. The wheat celosia is my favorite because it is so dainty. I'm especially in love with our white daisies with the blue eyes - they just started blooming this week!

How to Order Flowers
We offer 2 sizes of mixed bouquets, weekly subscriptions & DIY buckets. We post our weekly flower availability on Rooted Farmer’s. Anyone can purchase our flowers through Rooted, however we have noticed some glitches (such as our inventory is not showing sometimes, yikes!) so we added a quick order form to our website. Pre-orders are available for delivery to the Amelia Court House Village Area on Tuesday's & Thursday's. Don’t forget to check out our Instagram page for pics!
Thank you Thank you Thank you
We appreciate all of the wonderful gushing feedback we have gotten on our flowers so far. We are thrilled you find them as beautiful we do. Thank you for all of your support as we ‘grow’!
Non-flower wins this month
