Celebrate National Gardening Exercise Day by getting your hands in the soil and your body moving.

According to the American Horticultural Therapy Association, “gardening is recognized as a moderate to vigorous form of exercise that can improve physical, psychological, and social well-being.” It’s an amazing way to stay active because it naturally combines three key types of fitness: strength, endurance, and flexibility. From digging and lifting to planting and pruning, every task supports a healthier body.

Just as importantly, gardening nurtures mental health. Time spent outdoors, connecting with nature, and focusing on simple, hands-on work can reduce stress, lift your mood, and create a sense of calm and accomplishment.

Take a break today, step outside, care for your garden and let your garden take care of you!

Garlic is bringing me out of my funk. 🧄

I have been NEGLECTING the garden, bad. I just can’t get myself out there and commit the time it needs to clear weeds, plant everything I still have started in trays and whatever I keep buying from the nursery.

For some reason though, garlic is lighting a fire under my butt. I pulled all of the scapes I had left today and made me realize if I don’t start today, I won’t have any real garden this year. Brandon helped me clear three beds and my goal is to get everything in the ground this week. No excuses.

Garden burnout is real over here but so happy to see our progress today. I’m still undecided what I’m doing with my scapes but I’m giving some to so she can pickle them!

🌷This year’s tulip season is one for the books. I am so grateful for the incredible outpour of support through it all. I quadrupled the amount of tulips I planted from last year and honestly, I’m ready to do it again! Already excited for 2027 tulips.🌷

Edit: All Claimed
Today is my last day for tulips!
They were all accounted for before I could post them. If I messaged you, they are set aside for you! ❤️

In the next month I will be pre-ordering my tulips for next year already! It feels like the second the last one is out of the ground, it’s time to start ordering for next year.

I’d love to hear input of what kind of tulips you would like to see. I’ve separated them out into different varieties that I have interest in purchasing. There are still a handful of other shapes available but these interest me the most.

Double Tulips/Peony Tulips - large flowers with lots of petals!
Triumph - more traditional shape
Fringed - the edges are frayed
Parrot - distinct shape almost look wrinkled
Multi-Colored - multiple colors in one bloom
Lily - I think if it as a teacup shape. Very slender with a wide opening. Very cute.

I am changing my wholesale provider of bulbs to someone I have more control over what I am ordering. I’d love to hear colors and shapes that interest you so I can be aware of what you’d like to see when I’m ordering.

Newton Daily News spent some time with me in our little garden and wrote a really sweet article about it. Thank you for letting me geek out about tulips with you, Chris! ❤️

MacKenzie Henning of Wild Moss remembers being told as a kid not to pick the tulips at Tulip Time, now she's got plenty to pick

Thank you!!!

Hi! I know some of you weren’t able to make the event yesterday. I just picked all of these this morning and am starting to process them. I will make a post here in a little bit of each bouquet that will be available. These will be ready for pick up today in Newton. I have about ~150 still in the ground that aren’t ready yet. Some are already claimed for family.

Thanks! Keep an eye out here shortly.

Somehow… this is all under one roof 🤍

Coffee. Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner. Snacks.
Cocktails. Shopping. Events.

It’s the kind of place you stop in for one thing…
and end up staying WAY longer than you planned.

If you walked in today — what’s the first thing you’re grabbing? 👀

(Also… this might be your sign to plan a little visit soon ✨)
