A rarely offered native!

Adelinia grandis (formerly Cynoglossum grande), Pacific Hound's Tongue

We are so excited to be able to share this ecologically vital woodland PNW native. The early-spring blooms nectar source for native pollinators, particularly bumblebees. The foliage acts as a food source for many native insects, such as the Wild Forget-me-not Moth (Gnophaela latipennis).

Tall flower stalks of forget-me-not like flowers bloom above the basal arrow-shaped leaves of this Pacific Northwest native. Grows in well-draining soils in diverse habitats such as the open landscape beneath oak savannahs and chaparral. This tap rooted plant can be challenging to establish, but it is very worthwhile for those who wish to rise to the occasion.

Mature size: 1-2 ft tall & wide
Minimum temperature: -10° F

Digitalis trojana, Helen of Troy Foxglove

A spectacular foxglove with tightly packed, fuzzy, silvery purple blooms with apricot throats & red veining and lance-shaped foliage. Native to NW Turkey. Blooms in mid to late summer.

Reportedly prefers cool soil and part shade, but our specimen has lived happily for several years in sections of our hot, dry garden with light, late afternoon shade and little to no supplemental summer water, as well as garden beds with full sun and occasional summer water. Best purple color with a bit of drought stress; she performs beautifully under pressure.

Celebrate Mother's Day with us on Sunday, May 10th! Come spend a relaxed afternoon wandering the gardens, enjoying spring in peak bloom, and meet the newest members of the farm.

We’ll be giving away a free plant to any mom who visits from 10 am to 4 pm, and complimentary tea and cookies will be served in the pavilion for as long as supplies last.

For those seeking some hortiCULTURE, our dear, diverting Fred will be giving a garden tour at 1:00 pm. All are welcome.

Some of you may have already met the baby goats helping maintain the forest underbrush. This time, they’ll be joined by puppies! Our Livestock Guardian Dog, Morrigu, welcomed a litter this spring, and while they’re just finding their footing, they’re already hard at work protecting their goat friends from the ever-suspicious rabbits. They’ll all be in the usual snuggle pen, eager for visitors.

The mothers were very busy on the farm this spring. Our dear alpacas also welcomed a little cria on Easter Day! While a bit more reserved than the puppies, our newest cria, Pegasus, may still come say hello if you’re calm and patient (and perhaps bearing treats).

We can't wait to celebrate the mothers in our lives with you all!

A fantastic, unforgettable day in the mountains of Greece!

To see the Adonis cyllenea in peak bloom in the mountains was so incredible. It’s got to be one of the most beautiful plants I’ve ever seen.

Fritillaria graeca wasn’t prolific, but so precious!

More Crocus nivalis up near the Kalavyrta ski center had mostly finished blooming for the season.
