More August Farm News

We are starting to see relief from the heat! With the temperatures getting into the 80’s during the day and the 60’s at night, our plants are waking up again.

The Late Summer to Fall subscriptions will be starting up in the next couple of weeks. We will be contacting subscribers for delivery start date confirmations in the near future. We expect the first delivery date to be August 30th ( for Friday deliveries) and September 3rd ( for Tuesday deliveries), assuming the weather stays on the current trajectory.

We’re off for a few more days for a wedding in Boulder. It is hard to get time away from the farm, so we are looking forward to it very much.

Next week we will be back at it until frost and beyond. Looking forward to making flowers available for your joy!

Best,

Linda

Easing into Fall

We’ve enjoyed some time off in July, alternating days of rest with days of planting for fall. We’ve had nearly 12 inches of rain on the farm in July – a welcome change from June. It is especially helpful for the new plantings. We’re looking forward to the days ahead with cooler temperatures and an abundance of flowers.  For fall, we’ve been planting dahlias, zinnias, celosia, yarrow, snapdragons, callas, sunflowers and heirloom chrysanthemums.

Fall Wreath Workshops

Now that August has arrived, we are opening registration for our fall wreath workshops. Grab a friend and join us for a fun workshop at Purple Tuteur Farm. In this 2-hour session, we will talk about the basics of drying flowers and we will help you build your own custom dried flower wreath. If you would like to do this class for your private group of 8 or more, please send your request to purpletuteur@gmail.com and we will try to accommodate! Here’s the link: https://www.purpletuteur.com/classes

Fall Subscriptions

Our next subscription season will begin in late August. If you have signed up, we will be getting in touch closer to the first delivery day to verify schedules. We still have a few spots open if you are interested. Sign up here: https://www.purpletuteur.com/wwwpurpletuteurcom/new-products-1/fresh-cut-flower-bouquet-drop-off-service/late-summer-to-fall

We hope that you are enjoying the last days before school starts!
