The Ever Lea

It’s not the most desired photo from a flower farm account, but it’s the most important. Today we start planting 1000 dahlias. My favorite flower and our highest volume variety that we grow here.

We made changes to our dahlia field this year and it makes me feel both, excited and nervous. Instead of beds that face north-south we have lengthened the rows, narrowed them and will be planting east-west.

It takes my breath away a little bit thinking of how this space will look by mid August. 😍😍😍

Even though we have been steadily and quietly seed starting, planting, cleaning up and organizing the farm for over one month already it always feels like the great dahlia planting truly kicks off our growing season.

Cheers to 2026!
