And into the garden I go, to lose my mind and find my soul

Guys…..I have a LOT of larkspur 😂

Message me if you’re interested, I have 3 bunches available!

Saturdays and Sundays are for preserving wedding bouquets ❤️

The first bouquet is one I created with peonies, ranunculus, Canterbury bells, and snapdragons. I loved making it, but there’s something very satisfying about deconstructing it too!

The second bouquet is adorable…alllll the spring colors! It is a combination of roses, stock and carnations.

Both are sooo beautiful, and I’m excited to preserve them as keepsakes for the brides!

Our Plant of the Week is…the absolutely beautiful peony!

Here in Kansas all of our peonies have already bloomed, but because they can be dry stored in the refrigerator, I got to use them in yesterday’s wedding bouquets. They looked wilty and shriveled when I got them out of the fridge, but a fresh cut and fresh water with flower food gave me this! Crazy…but I get to do it again for next weekend’s wedding 😊

The only downside to them is that ants love them, but if you cut them in the marshmallow stage, you’ll avoid bringing the hitchhikers in your house!

Botanical name: Paeonia

Origin: peonies go back to Ancient Greek times—it was believed that nymphs turned themselves into peony flowers to avoid being seen by humans. Even in full bloom, peonies’ petals curl inward, protecting their delicate centers.

Victorian Meaning: bashfulness and modesty, romance and marriage

Besides being beautiful, they smell amazing! I won’t tell you how many times I buried my nose in them while arranging them…it never happened at all…

Wedding #1 is in the books—I can’t wait to show you the flowers when the bride is ready!

It’s eye opening to see what flowers are easy to work with versus those that are what I like to call persnickety 🫠 Have I mentioned how much I love peonies, ranunculus, Canterbury bells and larkspur? They are a dream to work with! Sweet peas…as much as I love you, you are officially in the persnickety category. I’ll keep trying though, because you are so pretty and smell so good!

Photos to come when allowed, but now it’s time to clean up…

Hi fellow plant lovers! I’m Grace, Jeri’s oldest daughter. I have a deep love for houseplants and gardening, which started from watching mom garden growing up. My house is decorated with rare plants, especially the Philodendron and Anthurium genus. I grow tons of hot peppers, tomatoes and gold raspberries, and love landscaping my yard. My favorite plants:

Perennial - Larkspur and Hydrangea
Annual - Dahlia
Houseplant - I love all of mine, but my 6.5’ Bird of Paradise is my OG plant baby!

I’ll be helping with social media, popups and other things as Three Sisters grows! Happy gardening 🪴🌱

Happy Friday! Our Plant of the Week is the Pincushion Flower, one of my favorite old fashioned flowers!

If you zoom in on this picture a little bit, you’ll see why it’s called Pincushion—all those little pins look like they are stuck in the dome of the flower. These plants produce tons of blooms all summer, as long as I’m harvesting or deadheading them!

Its botanical name is Scabiosa (😬…I’d go by Pincushion too), and this is a perennial variety named Butterfly Blue. I’ve also planted 4 annual varieties for this year that I started from seed—Black Knight, Fata Morgana, Snowmaiden, and Merlot.

You know how I love my Victorian symbolism—scabiosa represents pure love, romance and peace…but it was also given during times of sorrow, particularly for widows. Either way, it has very sweet sentiment ❤️

Earlier this week I added a bunch of them to the flower press—I can’t wait to see how they preserve and what art pieces they can go into!

Look for these lovelies to be showing up in weddings, bouquets and arrangements all summer!

Violas, pansies and a big Gerbera…I love how these turned out!

I know these 2 rows don’t look like much right now, but….there are 156 dahlias planted in 1 1/4 of them. 80’s music helped the process! Each of them got a handful of compost (this is why I make my own) and a sprinkling of bone meal because I don’t want to apply fertilizer—like at all. So, the option is to make the soil nutrient rich in the beginning to last them all season.

I know that seems like a LOT of plants, but I also know 1/3 of them won’t make it—between not sprouting (though most of them already had sprouts), storm/wind damage, and bug damage.

But even with losing 1/3, I’ll still have 109 plants that will give me blooms like these! In a month, there will be knee-high plants, by July they’ll be reaching full height and starting to bloom, and then they’ll hit their prime late August and September when days start getting shorter.

I can’t wait for them! Truly, no flowers compare to them in my humble opinion—they are so beautiful they don’t even seem real….

These are some of the varieties from last year that will make an encore performance this year—so get yourselves ready for dahlia bouquets!

Happy Friday! I’m starting a Plant of the Week series, based on what’s currently blooming in the garden. Our first one is one of the best perennials a girl can grow—yarrow.

Yarrow has been around for ages and has a number of medicinal uses, but I love it for landscaping and cut flower bouquets. It’s botanical name is Achillea, after the Greek hero Achilles who used it to heal the wounds of his men in the battlefield. My favorite Victorians gave it to others to help cure a broken heart—such a sweet meaning! Let’s count the many ways yarrow is awesome:

1. So easy to grow—in fact, once you plant it don’t pay attention to it until it gives you these beautiful blooms. Does it need watered frequently? Nope. Does it need fertilizer? Also nope. Just walk away, and every few days tell her how good she’s doing! She rewards your neglect by spreading and becoming very full—my new plants from last year have tripled in size…

2. She is a prolific bloomer from spring to frost—be sure you keep cutting flowers to enjoy or deadhead the ones you don’t. She will go all season long!

3. The color range is to die for—yellow, white, pink, berries, reds—literally something for every bouquet or landscaping palette. And the scent? It’s not floral—instead it’s herbal, which I love.

4. It lasts up to 2 weeks in a vase, but know it is a “dirty” flower that needs frequent water changes so it doesn’t get murky.

5. It dries like a dream—just gather a few stems and hang them upside down until they are very dry and crisp to the touch. The color retention is phenomenal, and you can use it in so many dried floral projects!

Go get yourself some yarrow for your garden—you won’t regret that choice!
