What is a Flower Share?
A Flower Share, also known as a Flower Subscription, also known as a Flower CSA (CSA=Community Supported Agriculture), benefits both consumers and growers. A Flower Share is a weekly or monthly “share” of locally grown flowers, paid for ahead of time, provided (either through pickup or delivery) on a set schedule. The consumer gets the freshest of seasonal flowers delivered to his/her/their door and knowledge that what they are receiving was grown locally, using sustainable practices, on a small farm. Most flowers sold in the US are imports from countries with dubious employment practices, lower standards for safety, including a heavy use of pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides to meet…

Winter wreath workshops at Passalongs Farm
I started hosting wreath making workshops about 4 winters ago and they are now one of the things I look forward to the most all year! It’s so fun to see folks take my simple instructions and make amazing, truly one-of-a-kind evergreen wreaths. Here’s how it works: I provide: a grapevine wreath, clippers, wire, and a wide assortment of seasonal evergreens, berries, sticks, dried flowers, foliages and grasses, as well as other ephemera I might find in my travels (mushrooms? lichen? acorns? and of course, pinecones!) as well as a simple lesson in hand wiring a wreath, and then you use your imagination and creativity to create your own special…

Fundraiser Flowers!
You may not know this about me, but I haven’t always been a flower farmer and designer. I spent 17 years working in (mostly) public schools and also founded and have been running a nonprofit to help families impacted by a neurobehavioral disorder (FAFASD) for the past 10 years. I’ve always volunteered, organized, and donated to causes I believe in. My work has always been more than “just” about making money. One of the core values of my flower farming business has been giving back whenever possible. I’m really proud of the fact that as my business has grown and for the first time in my life I’ve had some…

Flower Arranging workshop with Gardeners on the Green!
When Jill, the event coordinator for Gardeners on the Green in Longmeadow contacted me to see if I’d do a workshop for her group, I was really excited! March in Massachusetts is fairly dreary: still cold, despite the calendar saying it’s spring, and we have plenty of snow and ice. Usually there’s not a flower to be seen! Luckily there were plenty of flowers at the wholesaler and I chose a Rosie Posie vase for the gardeners to work with, since this shape vase is really great for a low, wide arrangement but can also be used for a rounder, taller arrangement as well. First I told them a little…
