Thank you for a wonderful 2022. Every subscription, custom order, wholesale delivery, Ag&Art Tour visit, Garden club talk and visit, our feature on Making It Grow, every farmer’s market and retail purchase and our first Holiday Open House helped us to grow. We could not do it without your support, and we feel so welcomed and inspired by your community feedback.
In 2023, we are looking forward to bringing you more joy through flowers. We’re trying some new (to us) bloomers and expanding on the most popular ones.
We’ve made it through the first weather test, Storm Elliot, with very good results. The wind and extended cold period caused some damage. Fortunately, most things are already showing new growth thanks to healthy root systems that were blanketed by the warm earth. These plants will be slowed down a bit but will be robust in Spring. We did lose our Cynoglossum but this can be re-seeded in February for a later appearance in our bouquets.
There can be an upside to the cold too. This should be a good year for tulips, daffodils and peonies. All of these plants like a cold period and should benefit from Elliot’s effects.
We hope that you weathered the storm without a lot of damage and have much to look forward to in 2023. We will continue to try to make you smile through the beauty of fresh flowers.
Happy New Year,
Linda
