It’s finally starting to feel like spring around these parts! The first daffodils are popping open, the greenhouse anemones are finally blooming in earnest and we’ve been busily planting out thousands of hardy little seedlings like chantilly snapdragons, nigella, feverfew, queen anne’s lace and bells of ireland. While it’s still over a month from our last frost free date, all of these varieties can withstand some light frosts and the cooler temps.
Monday morning the spring newsletter went out and in it we announced a new book collaboration (more on that soon!), gave a rundown all of of the new resources we’re creating and shared a second spring workshop date: May 16,17 & 18 here on the farm. Well to my shock it’s already sold out!
I know the workshops are a huge stretch both financially and time wise and we’ve received a lot of very sweet emails from folks who would love to attend but just can’t make the leap. So, we’ve decided to offer a scholarship to one lucky person for the May date!!!
To enter, send an email to { [email protected] } with “workshop scholarship” in the subject line. In the email tell us a little about yourself, your business (or your dream of starting one) and why you feel the workshop would make a huge difference for you at this point in time. These emails will not be posted publicly so feel free to really go for it but I will be sharing them with a few of my closest confidants to help choose the winner.
If you’re chosen, you’ll need to be able to get yourself here and cover lodging but the class and all of your meals will be on us. The cut off deadline for entry is Saturday, March 22nd and the winner will be announced Monday, March 24th. I can’t wait to hear your stories!
Last week I took a poll on Facebook to get some fresh ideas for the next Flower Focus column. There were so many great suggestions and it was really hard to chose just one! So, in the coming days look for a two part post on my favorite fillers and foliages and our next Farmer-Florist interview.

Well I definitely thought the deadline was March 28th! I just sent my application over, hopefully not too late! I am hoping and praying you are still taking them! What a wonderful opportunity!
