Notes From The Field
Seasonal notes, growing guides and honest pricing from our flower farm in Abbotsford — written by the people who plant, cut and arrange every stem.
What you will find here
The flower journal is where we write down the things people ask us at the farm gate and at the market: what a wedding really costs, how long a bouquet lasts, and why a ranunculus corm goes into the ground claws down. None of it is written by an agency.
We grow on a quarter acre in Abbotsford and cut for weddings, markets, subscriptions and the roadside stand, so everything here comes out of that work. If a stem does not last, we say so. If a colour is not possible in June, we say that too — a flower journal is only useful if it is honest.
Start with the wedding flower budget if you are planning a day, the vase-life guide if you have just been handed a bouquet, or the growing guide if you want ranunculus corms in the ground this autumn. New entries go up through the season, usually when the field gives us something worth writing about.
Most of these notes start as conversations at the Saturday market, standing behind a table of whatever came out of the field that morning. If there is a question you want answered in the flower journal, send it over — the ones we get most often become the next entry.
Everything is grown without imports and cut the week you receive it, which is the thread running through every entry here. Find the farm here if you would rather see it in person, or read about flower subscriptions in Abbotsford and wedding flowers in Abbotsford if you would rather we did the growing.
Ready when you are
Tell us the date, the budget or just the mood and we will tell you honestly what the farm can do. Weddings, weekly bouquets and DIY buckets all start with a quick message.
