Pink Boots Flowers

I’ve been a bit MIA on here lately and wanted to share an update. I got my garden in before the heat this week came. The dahlias and amaranth were loving the 33+C weather we had and some of the cooler weather plants were not quite as happy. I’ve made a makeshift shade cloth for the ranunculus and anemones and am sure hoping they make it through this heat wave. As well as the flowers, the weeds have jumped this week too so I will be busy weeding. It feels so nice to have things growing again!

I am so excited to finally have a logo!💕💐 A huge thank you to Annelies for working with me to create and modify my logo until I was completely happy with it! I am looking forward to delivering bouquets to you this summer with this logo attached!

I’d like to take a little time to share what and who helped influence me to start growing and selling my own cut flowers. My Opa and Oma were two of my biggest influences. I fondly think of them in the garden. It was my Oma’s happy place and my Opa was always willing to help her with whatever needed to be done. They attended the Lethbridge Farmers Market for 40 years selling vegetables, flowers and eggs. I always remember many people swooning over my Oma’s beautiful flowers and her gladiolus sold out weekly. She could grow literally anything and was quite fond of compliments on her amazing ability. She shared some of her tips and tricks but most were learned by helping and spending time with her. My Opa was one of the kindest, most patient men I know. He loved the social aspect of going to the market weekly and was a true people person. I enjoyed spending time with them both in the garden and at the market. I am thankful I inherited my Oma’s love of flowers and my Opa’s outgoing nature.

I have been seeing so many gorgeous tulips from other growers start to come across my feed. I am planning to have tulips for next spring but I can’t decide which varieties are my favourite. Can you help me decide? Click through my stories and vote for your favourites!
