Stay Flower Happy Year Round

As a professional self-proclaimed flower-freak and farmer I see flowers everywhere I go. I purposely seek them out 365 days a year. 

Can you relate?

The winter months especially here Alaska can be kind of tricky.  Our local greenhouses are closed for the winter and the grocery store flowers are really not that fresh. 

Weekly I eagerly scour the discounted “old” bouquet corner in hopes to find something I can rescue for the dinning room table. 

Of course in the summer, May-through 1st. hard frost I’m surrounded by all the blooms I grow here on the farm. 

So by the time November rolls around I can hardly wait to start amaryllis for indoor blooms through the holidays. My goal being all the way till my birthday in February. I also have Thanksgiving and Christmas cactus growing. 

Indoor blooms last the longest.

In December I make flower-n-ice luminaries in honor of my late son since his birthday is the 22nd. 

All around my home and in every room you’ll find rugs, pillows, books, magazines, textiles, art and floral pictures. 

I follow other flower farmers, blogs and such around the country on social media too. 

My algorithm is cued daily on all my devices to ping me about anything flower related. 

Musicians and celebrities keeping flowers in our heads, from Miley Cyrus’s “I can buy myself flowers”, Drew Barrymore’s make-up line called Flower to Gwen Stefani’s newest album Bouquet. She partnered with Farmgirl Flowers for the “Look at me blossom” bouquet you can get shipped right to your door. 

Flowers are my happy place, they are my world and come to find out science proves we need them.

I created a printable, 11+ Ways Flowers Improve Our Lives which includes a $5 off coupon to use in the Flower Stand Mothers Day-September.

Flowers are literally everywhere. All we have to do is look for them.
