My first year's cut flower garden overextended my expectations tenfold. Last winter I decided I would extend my growing season & instead of only doing Petunias & early Spring/Mid Summer flowers, I'd grow cut flowers for late Summer/early Fall. Doing all this as just an image in my mind, with a combination of tubers that, by only looking at photos would make beautiful bouquets for people to share with one another. To say this idea thats started La Fleur Farm was a success, is an understatement. Though it was not all fun, as there are always learning curves with new endeavors, the turnout was huge & very successful, more than I had expected. I've sold out every week with the support of my local community & friends, and I couldn't be more grateful. As my life & health have taken an unexpected turn, it has brought alot of goodness and awareness into my world, which I would have never seen or experienced otherwise. As I must now turn my focus to my health, I remind myself that there is a silver lining in all of this and that nothing, absolutely nothing in this life is an accident. Good and bad, beautiful & ugly it all exists and comes together. The people that these flowers and my work have brought into my life in the strangest ways have really made me realize that we are all connected and here for eachother, not for ourselves. I feel very lucky that my path has taken me to this awareness so early on in life, and i know wholeheartedly that this will see me through the dark days that are to come. Thank you for all your endless support. β€
