Time of Year- This Post is A LOT

It has been a little rough going it alone with such big projects in my head!!! It hasn't been totally alone- I am thankful for those who step in to help from time to time. Although we are capable of designing and producing large scale events, we are honing our green thumbs on the farm. So far this year, we have had tulips and allium, and a few surprises, some bearded iris, and beautiful plume grass, mock orange, and ninebark foliage. Some of this will be coming along to Pastaria on Sunday for a flower bar on Mother's Day (11-3 or sell out). We will be taking orders as well for pickups on Sunday at Pastaria, or Saturday in South City.

Beyond all that this is a favorite time of year for me- I think instead of hopeful, I get sad in early spring and it seems to wear off around now, when things are starting to get plumper and more vigorous. The clematis are blooming, the comfrey about to bloom, passionflower vine finding its way upwards.... pansies shining and pea tendrils furling!

We are also working on Goldfinch Garden and Ladybug Mound, two adjacent lots off the actual park in Gravois Park. Ideally we will be hosting a kid-featured open mic once a month when it's reasonable weather, and doing some classes in tandem with getting the garden activated.

Hmmmm What else? Just getting ready for Mother's Day, headed to sweep the floor and get the buckets ready for the local flowers we are going to harvest and the ones we pick up from the farmers,.

We are also in landscape/planter season and if you would like a consultation, holler. 

There are many ways for us to stay busy, and we hope that you can keep us so, too. Thanks for reading today's ramble. I have updates on my weekly calendar but apparently I need to be glued to the desk to get it out there.
