Wild Life Flowers

A million things to do before my total knee replacement tomorrow. And I chose to spend time in the flower field. Listening to the hummers chirp and the bees buzz. Wish me luck on the journey to “team titanium” TYIA. 💕

From field to venue in less than 24 hours! I crafted these floral displays for the second of four "Concerts at 7" at the Plainfield church. These include three types of hydrangea, joe pye w**d, lisianthus, raspberry foliage, saponaria, sedum, and zinnia. Special thanks to Erin at South Meadow Farm for the zinnia (as my crop didn't do well this year). There are two more concerts - Monday August 24 and August 31st. At 7 p.m.

Gorgeous day. Harvesting rudbeckia, sedum, verbena, mint and other bits and bobs. Lots of pollinator sightings in the process. ☀️

I'm happy to create (and donate) the floral arrangements in our town's acoustically spectacular church for the four-part "Concerts at 7" chamber music series. Tonight is the first concert. Some of the flowers this evening are sourced from Tip Top Orchard in Buckland and I am grateful for the camaraderie of the western mass flower growing community to share blooms when my capacity is limited. Check out the link in comments for more info about this music series - these events occur on the remaining Mondays in August. Donation based admission. 356 West Main Street, Plainfield, MA 01070. Seven p.m.

I had a fun time creating this special arrangement for a 50th high school reunion celebration. We’re here for life milestones.

There are still many beautiful functional pottery pieces at Maya Machin Pottery in Ashfield - open until 5 pm today. Thanks for all who stopped by and purchased flowers this weekend. I’m sold out. Follow me and sign up for my newsletter to learn where I’m “popping up” next

I’m popping up at Maya Machin Pottery in Ashfield Saturday July 25 and Sunday July 26. Check out the Hilltown 6 20th anniversary tour and support local potters and local flowers.

As they say, no farms, no food (or flowers). Here's an opportunity for my Massachusetts customers, friends and neighbors to take action to support legislation that supports farms and farmers. See post below from CISA - an organization I personally support and that I have received so much technical support from. Time sensitive! Thank you.

We invite farmers and folks who care about farms to take 5 minutes to call or email the MA State House leadership and your own representative requesting that they bring H.4854, An Act Fostering Agricultural Resilience in Massachusetts, also known as the FARM omnibus bill, to the House floor for a vote before the July 31st cutoff!

This collection of legislation will increase economic development, support public health via increased food security, and further our state’s climate resilience.

Please contact House Leadership & your representative today. Thank you!
