A few other little things, we moved the black stone countertop out of the kitchen and into the Pink Room to make a little coffee bar for guests,
Exciting news! We’ve joined The Flower Collective of Central New York!
This move elevates our business to a new wholesale level. We’re proud to be offering specialty sunflowers and lisianthus through the collective this year with peonies, ranunculus, lavender, eucalyptus and more on the horizon.
You can expect all of these as well as zinnias, strawflowers, dahlias, statice, snapdragons, cress, bells of Ireland, lilies, and so much more in our Boutique Bouquets. Pick one up from a local farmers market or from right here at our roadside stand, coming this spring!
We’re also happy to now be offering,
Our Blossom Boxes are personalized flower beds which offer a unique experience for couples, transforming floral dreams into vibrant reality. It all begins with a vision board session, where you collaborate with our team to conceptualize your ideal wedding flowers, encompassing themes, colors, and styles. From there, we use our expertise in local growing conditions to craft a Floral Possibilities Board, meticulously selecting plant varieties that align with your vision. Each of your Blossom Boxes will be adorned with a commemorative plaque bearing your names and wedding date. As planting commences, you're invited to participate in the process, with flexible opportunities to engage in seasonal care and nurturing your blossoms. When the big day arrives, we meticulously harvest and deliver your blooms, ensuring they arrive fresh and beautiful, ready to adorn your celebration venue. With communication and collaboration at the core, our Blossom Boxes promise a seamless journey from vision to fruition, making your wedding day truly unforgettable.
We’ve had some change-overs in the house,

This past fall, Jazmine made the decision to move back to Buffalo after an incredible year of living, collaborating and building here at the properties. BIG thanks to her for believing in my vision since nearly it’s inception and for being my wall-painting, merch-modeling, traveling, motorcycle-driving, ice-cream-eating companion. Couldn’t have done it without ya kid!
