Welcome to Blue House Acre.
💙🏡🌼
On this account I’ll be documenting my journey of my gardening adventures.
I have a bit of a pipe dream, to have a small cut flower farm where I can sell little bunches of flowers at the front gate.
Is my dream possibly unrealistic?
Maybe…
Do I live in a town that gets very hot & fairly cold and is no stranger to drought?
Yes.
Is our soil quality fairly average & when dry, hard as a rock?
Also yes.
So environmentally I feel like I’m working against the odds, but lucky I enjoy hard work & a challenge.
Am I a professional gardener?
Not even close, I just really adore flowers and have very quickly fallen in love with gardening.
I’m winging this and learning as I go.
This is a journey with a lot of trial & error.
So could this fail? Maybe.
But look at the end of the day if all I achieve is a little patch of flowers that I can admire and also cut to put in my home and share with my friends, I’ll be happy.
But if I manage to sell 2 little bunches come spring time, I’ll be over the moon.
So I’m working hard, dreaming big and keeping the expectations realistic.
The support so far from friends, family & people I don’t even know has been unreal and honestly really touching, I don’t think I’ve ever had so many people be so supportive of me before, so I feel like that’s a good sign.
And most importantly of all I have 2 little cut flower farm apprentices who think this is so amazing & get just as excited as I do about beautiful flowers & their belief in me means the world.
Thank you friends for your kindness & support, it means more than you realise - welcome to my happy place.
