March on the Farm — The Season Is Officially Underway

After summer-like days in December and snow in January, we’re more than ready for steady warmth and longer daylight. We’re not entirely out of cold-snap territory yet — but the field is waking up, and so are we.

Subscription Season Has Begun

Our Early Spring bouquet subscriptions are officially sold out — thank you. We’re grateful for the strong start to the season.

Right now, we’re harvesting forced tulips (our winters don’t reliably provide enough cold), along with hellebore, spirea, and daffodils at their peak. Early spring flowers have a delicacy that only lasts a short window, and it’s a joy to share them.

If you missed Early Spring, good news:

Spring-to-Summer and Late Summer subscriptions are still available.

Spring-to-Summer brings the lush transition into longer days — campanula, delphinium, lisianthus, and the first zinnias of the season.

Late Summer carries us into peak dahlia season and heirloom chrysanthemums in fall — some of the most dramatic flowers we grow all year.

If local, seasonal flowers matter to you, we’re at your service.

On-Farm Workshops

Peony Workshop – April 18

We’re determined to bust the myth that peonies can’t grow in the South.

Join us April 18 from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM at Purple Tuteur Farm in Columbia, SC for a hands-on workshop focused specifically on growing peonies successfully in our Southern climate.

Classes are limited to 10 participants so everyone can get up close during field demonstrations and guided instruction.

If you’ve always wanted to grow peonies but weren’t sure they would thrive here — this class will give you clarity and confidence.

Dahlia Grower’s Workshop – May 16

By request, we’ve moved this year’s Dahlia Workshop earlier — May 16 instead of mid-June. This timing allows you to properly prepare your beds before planting.

We recommend planting tubers in June so plants remain smaller during peak summer heat, making them better able to tolerate our 90°+ days and surge into fall strong.

If dahlias are on your wish list, this workshop will walk you through the process step by step. As with the peony workshop, classes are limited to 10 participants.

Dahlia Tuber & Garden Plant Sale

We’re organizing our dahlia tuber sale now — more details coming soon.

We also expect to release a few curated garden plant offerings specifically chosen for Southern cut flower success. Stay tuned for announcements.

We’re Hiring!

We’re looking to add one exceptional part-time seasonal team member to help with field production. Hours are Mondays and Thursdays from 8:30-12:30.

If you (or someone you know) enjoys outdoor work, appreciates the rhythm of the seasons, and wants hands-on experience in specialty cut flower farming, we’d love to connect.

A Quick Note About Facebook

If you’ve been looking for us on Facebook — you’re not imagining things. Our account was hacked and is currently “under review.” We miss you there. In the meantime, we’re sharing farm updates on Instagram.

The field changes quickly in early spring. What’s blooming today won’t be here in three weeks — something else will take its place. That’s part of what makes this season so exciting.

Wishing you a joyful spring.
