You know it is spring when the Snowball Viburnum begins to bloom! My flower farm is on the historic Parrish homestead and this old-fashion shrub is my favorite!

Some of the ranunculus bouquets will have a snowball for your choosing at the FloWeR PoP_uP at @kelleyproduce at @dallasfarmersmarket on Sunday 10-sellout.

Transitioning from winter to spring is alway a rough one in field growing flowers. Here’s why:

🌱the weather is unpredictable so you have to be flexible and resistant at the same time
🌱it is a long stretch without blooms that seems like forever
🌱and factor in the shorter days
🌱in agriculture it is called the shoulder months, not that the weight of your world is on your shoulders, but there is that too.

🌸there are a few teasers of spring coming then the rush of BLOOMS and all is good again!🥰

So grateful for those that stick with the process and delight in the work to bring in the flowers!

A Cutting Garden - March 11, 2025

I’ve been selected by a New Tech AP English team

I’ve been selected by a New Tech AP English team to help me, a sustainable small business, with my marketing. We have met at the farm for interviews and videos . They even represented BHFF at the Art from the Heart event at their school selling these wrapped bouquets and SOLD OUT! Impressive! I decided to make some more for the @coppellfarmersmarket Saturday! And since they encouraged me to make a how-to video, here is the first take. I posted another video on my YouTube channel - you can find the link in my bio! Just wait- more videos to come!

I know, I know that everything is out of wack - an

I know, I know that everything is out of wack - and yes as a farm I am feeling it. I signed on for two programs with USDA and that is on hold, the property tax on my land in historic Coppell has gone up 130% and the expenses for seed, bulbs, infrastructure has more than doubled - yet I am keeping the pricing of bouquets as it was in 2021 and workshop pricing has been reduced because I know everyone is feeling this but I also know that flowers and flower farm experiences are what people need now!

And a quick plug for shopping at @coppellfarmersmarket (or any management vetted farmers markets)- you are supporting small farms and entrepreneurs and getting the best of the best selections and, also, keep these offerings in business!

Hi, I’m Amanda! Throughout my childhood visits t

Hi, I’m Amanda! Throughout my childhood visits to my Grandparents farm, Bishop Hill, in Ohio, I fell in love with flower gardens, especially the dahlias my Grandpa grew.

Over the years, I have danced around my cut flowers dream through my work with growing school gardens and community gardens and building viable markets for farmers. All along the way, I have tucked away flower related photos, notes, books, magazine clippings which has given way to You Tube videos, Pinterest boards and workshops on growing specialty cut flowers.

It was as if my life’s work had prepared me to realize the potential of locally grown flowers in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and the happiness they bring to others! I grow year-round on a small-scale, high production flower farm a stone’s throw from the Coppell Farmers Market.

My vision is for the cut flower bunches to reflect nature and the seasons in North Texas throughout the year. I want to be able to share plants’ unique beauty with my customers to enhance their living spaces and lives!

Tell me I’m not crazy or lazy, but all this wint

Tell me I’m not crazy or lazy, but all this winter there seems to be so much down time due to weather that I can’t be out working my field. So here is what I did today after securing all my low tunnels for the great deep freeze of 2025, I made a cake from scratch for the first time in my life!!! Was going to decorate it with flowers but both poppies and hellebores are not edible and it just didn’t seem right to have them mushed into chocolate frosting.

Sometimes it just feels good to push yourself to do something new. Like tomorrow, hosting Yoko of @hakko.online and @kazukogo10 at the farm cottage to teach two workshops on traditional Japanese fermentation with miso making and pocket koji. It will be nice to gather together while facing off the cold.

Speaking of gathering together, the floral events at @bishophillfarmflowers are posted on my website and eventbrite so grab a friend and get reservations for spring in the flower field!

Hopefully will pull off the covers by Saturday to bring some fresh flowers to @coppellfarmersmarket but I will always have my shoulder months’ standby of dried flower nifties!

Stay warm!

And just like that, we are in February! Slowly the field is awaking to a warm up so I need to get the final cool season flowers planted. More Stock, Foxglove and Strawflower, plus Winged Everlasting, Forget-me-Nots and the Mother’s Day favorite- Godetia.

Lisianthus are next on the list as they were seed started after Thanksgiving and just now opening their second real set of leaves. Talk about a slow grower!!!

People say I have passion but think it is a whole lot more patience. 😘

The ups and downs of winter growing. We didn’t have any snow here in Dallas this round but the winds were gusting around 30mph. Is it best to live where you can see the field or live where you can only imaging what is happening out there? 🤷‍♀️

So what does a flower farmer do when there is a weekend without the winter @coppellfarmersmarket ??? Left on early Friday for a trip to Paris (texas that is) to visit my son and daughter-in-law. I took advantage of the nice day and extra time to make three farmer visits on my way:

~a great catchup with Mindy at @bohemianshepherdess . Loved her new wildcrafting space where she talked about a rack of geranium plants saved from the winter winds, a cabinet of glass jars of foraged ferments and even picked up my favorite facial skin care- Holy Basil Hydrosol and Marigold Serum. Then we jumped in her old pickup to head out to her tranquil place set among the pecan trees. We explored the lavender field and the lower side full of rosettes of next summers’ native wildflowers and grasses all the time escorted by her three farm guardian dogs. Then highlighted by a shepherdess visit with her goat herd up by the barn. While we talked about farming and future, a little goat was nibbling in the robe tie of my coat zipper. So cute, so absorbed , so glad Mindy and I had this precious time together.

~next stop was a visit with Emily at @thomasfamilyflowers As I pulled into her dirt drive, I could see Emily coming across the field to great me with her smiling eyes. We met on the NTX Flower Farmer zoom meetings and text with flower growing encouragements so it was a real treat to walk her fields! On family land and making the most of the paddocks in full sun, Emily with her family grow the most beautiful palette of specialty flowers. Of course in January with the looming freeze cast, we focused on each flower varieties’ cold hardiness, the mechanics of covers and mulches and the timing of planting! I could see her kids’ creative play among the large trees, but also all the care and industrious work where it takes everyone to make pristine flower rows. What a joy to walk and talk with Emily in her slice of paradise.

~and when in Paris, a quick catch up with Nick at @bootstrapfarmer in the downtown studio while also talking farming and future.

What a wonderful lead up to be welcomed into my son’s family home with a large bowl of shepherds pie soup!

Mid-January after the ice, sleet and snow event! We are not out of the woods but all is in place to care for these winter babies.

Please take a moment to go to the link in my bio above to see how you can jump start my year by ordering a flower subscription for these spring blooms and check out the workshops to be in the field with me as the weather warms! ✨🌸👩‍🌾🌸🌼✨

•Move seedlings to close LED lights.
•Mist and water from bottom.
•Move to natural light outdoors at 4-6wks.
•Harden with sun, wind and temperature to plant in field.

Ask your questions in comments.

Flowers galore in 2024! This year’s motto definitely became real!
I cut tens of thousands of flowers, increased my growing space and did a complete field makeover, taught fourteen workshops, attended JM Fortier Grower Workshop and the @ascfginc Regional Conference, moved inside the @coppellfarmersmarket pavilion and enjoyed visits with flower lovers, visited multiple flower farmers and the best of all was my son’s wedding at @bishophillfarmflowers

Thank you for all your encouragement and support! Hope you find joy through flowers as you weave through the next year! ✨🌱🌷💐

Working by myself takes some ingenuity to figure out the best way to get the job done! Last spring when I folded up the frost cloth, I had to let go of some that I’d used for over five years. So with this heavy new roll, I worked out this slick and easy way!!! #farmhack #liveandlearn
