Deer Garden Farm

Deer Garden Farm We grow gourmet garlic and cutting flowers in Canon City, CO. A vegetable or two has also popped up out of the ground.

We're sold out of garlic for this year but the flowers are drying and ready for artistic endeavors over the winter.

LET'S PLAY WITH DRIED FLOWERS!
I'm looking for a few local crafters with experience using dried flowers to create enough dried flower projects with my materials and supplies, and selling your creations at a Crafter's Market in August.

For the last couple of years, I have grown and dried flowers. I love doing that, but now I have too many. Think of a dried flower hoarder. It's like that. I can't dry flowers anymore until I use what I have.

Enter you. I have the flowers, wreaths, tape, paper, glue, wire, mesh, etc, etc, etc. There is a local Craft Market coming up in August. I'd like to sell lovely creations at the market and empty our my work storage area so I can start dry flowing again.

I'll probably design a few things myself, but I have other projects around these gardens before I can proceed, so I'll be mostly hands-off. I'd love it if a few people wanted to dive into dried flower crafting for the next couple of months,

The Chamber recently talked about a Crafter's Market to be held in August, along with one of the Farmer's Markets. I plan on securing a booth at that market.

I'm looking for people to use my materials and create their own masterpieces to sell at the market. The might be wreaths, bouquets, framed wall art, stationery, journals, jewelry, bookmarks, wall-hangings, whatever

I haven't determined compensation. That can be discussed, but I'm thinking of something like a 60/40% split, my materials/your labor and talent.

Please join me. I think it'll be fun.
Come play with flowers and make some money!

I'm attaching some random photos so you can see what I'm talking about. I really got out of control, but it's just so fun!

Hi there! Deer Garden Nursery started as a backyard garden specializing in deer and drought-resistant pollinator plants. Those plans are still ongoing, but now we grow more gourmet garlic and cut flowers.
We sold out of the garlic quickly this year. If you hurry, you might still get some at Colin Orchards.
Paul is growing the crop in size and adding new varieties, planting our seed garlic over the next month.
Most of the flowers we grew this year are bundled or drying. What to do with them now? Clearly we are experiencing an identity crisis but it keeps life interesting... Right?
