Who we are

We’re just a couple of people that really love growing plants.  We ended up in our current dream home just south of Oakville, Washington on the south fork of Garrard Creek back in early 2024 after a last minute, late winter move. A move that mainly entailed our vast perennial garden, orchard, and dormant tubers. We were able to get everything in the ground thanks to our families, friends, and amazing new neighbors, for whose help we will always be grateful.

Now we’re here and we have more space than we ever thought we would. We are busy filling it with flowers. We grow lilies, daylilies, phlox, poppies in many varieties, amaranth, larkspur, sweet peas, cosmos, zinnias, and various other perennials and annuals that strike our fancy. The real focus, though, is dahlias. We love them, can’t get enough of them, need more of them, and so does everyone else.

 Our goal is simple. We want to grow as many flowers as possible for as long as possible. We want to share those flowers with as many people as possible because flowers bring beauty to all who see them. Everyone deserves beauty in their lives.

 

We look forward to growing with you!

Building Healthy Plants from the soil up

Our first, and main focus, is soil health. We spend a LOT of time and resources feeding our soil. Healthy soil equals healthy plants, and we only want healthy plants. Our process begins with adding a lot of organic matter before planting. We utilize chicken manure in fall (just another reason to always have chickens), we use water soluble fertilizers that feed not only the plants, but the soil as well. We could bore everyone to death with soil geekery. We are very lucky to have enough space to be able to practice crop rotation. Crops move every two years to mitigate nutrient depletion and decrease disease pressure. We also refrain from using any sprays or pesticides on our flowers. Instead, we rely on beneficial insects to help us out, and so far, they’ve done a stellar job!
