When we started our flower farm in the Hudson Valley three years ago, I knew with absolute certainty that I wanted to grow specialty flowers for floral designers. Specifically, I wanted to grow all the rare, hard-to-find, sometimes fussy, but always achingly beautiful textural elements that local designers were looking for - the missing piece they called “the something special” that elevated their designs into something truly extraordinary.
Cultivating these treasures has become my passion - sourcing the plants and seeds, observing them in the field, adjusting to their wants and needs, and seeing them transformed, into art. As I honed in on my love for the novel, I became concerned with how I could effectively share everything I’d learned and also shine a spotlight on the deeply creative partnerships that form between grower and designer. How did I grow these things and just as importantly, how were they used?
This journal is an attempt to answer these questions, and the first issue, my love letter to chocolate cosmos, includes a comprehensive growing guide, thoughtful conversations with magic-makers
@ailishfloral and
@efflorescent.studio , and so, so much more. This first issue will be yours to download as a free digital copy, an invitation into the world of the unique flowers and everyday magic of our farm. And if you love what you see, you can choose to subscribe and join us as we gather research for the next treasure hunt. In the meantime, make sure to sign up for our mailing list at the bottom of our homepage, and we’ll send a note as soon as it’s out. I hope you will, and thanks for reading!
