You know you've nailed it when the bride cries whe

You know you've nailed it when the bride cries when she sees her crown and bridal bouquet. That is to say, with happiness. Willow made such a heart throb of a crown (thanks @passionflowersue for the tutorial, we learned some new-to-us tricks) and @karounalaluna crushed it with the bridal. Courtney's only request was succulents and otherwise she let us do our thing - such a pleasure for us!
She also ordered 6 bulk buckets for DIY arranging with friends and family, and went home with her sister and bestie and a tiny hatchback full of flowers! We love doing combo weddings, where we do the important carry pieces (bridal, bouts, crowns, and even arbors) and the client does the tables and other decor. When on a tight budget it can really work well for folks!
Congratulations Courtney, can't wait to hear how it all goes!

Do you need some sunshine this week? We will be ha

Do you need some sunshine this week? We will be harvesting marigold heads tomorrow for pre-order and for @nevadacityfarmersmarket . They are amazing for garlands, dye projects (they produce a light yellow sunshine color), honoring those who have passed away, and writing things like "RBG" in the grass ;).
These are the larger orange blooms, so they dry into a very substantial ball, and keep their color for literally years.
$20 for a bag of 45 heads (enough to make 3-5 ft garland, depending how you space them) or $50 for 125 heads.
Message us if you'd like to reserve any amount. I'm guessing we'll pre-sell most for this week, so respond early if interested!

In memorial for Jen. Rest in peace, you were obvio

In memorial for Jen.
Rest in peace, you were obviously well loved by so many.

Have you been crying, like me, for this woman you

Have you been crying, like me, for this woman you never met and yet to whom you owe so much of your life? Have you felt the terror, the powerlessness, the anger at the thought of what this means for the future of real justice in our country and our world? Me too. But you know what - we can do something. We can fucking VOTE. The Judicial, the Legislative, and the Executive are all branches of our goverment that have equal power and that exist to check and balance one another. We, collectively, vote many of those people into power. Yes we can’t vote for the next Supreme Court justice, but we can vote to put in as many intelligent, compassionate, fierce, caring, decent and non-psychotic human beings into the legislative and executive branches. And we must. Those most marginalized, most vulnerable among us - their lives depend on it. All of our lives depend on it.
So please, if you are looking for a way to honor the legacy of Justice Ruth Bader Ginberg, educate yourself from valid, scientific, journalistic sources (so no, that doesn’t mean facebook, or any other social media site designed by algorithms to make you feel like every fucking thing is a conspiracy), and VOTE and work to ensure that every American gets to vote this election season. If that means seeing how you can help locally, great. If that means calling folks on the phone, great. If that means donating to NAACP Legal Defense Fund - GREAT.
And besides that, keep grieving. As another hero of mine, Terry Tempest Williams, said yesterday, “Grief is love.” Let the rage spill out of you - not at anyone, but out - hit a hay bale, scream into a pillow, throw rocks into the river. And when you are empty of rage, for at least that raw-throated moment, then let the tears out as well. Do this so that you aren’t bringing more cycles of violence into our world. Do this to move forward. Do this to survive another day in this 2020 shit-show of a year. And then make your kid lunch, hug those few ones around you you can hug, and drink some water.

Swipe for the big reveal... Grew this magical glas

Swipe for the big reveal...
Grew this magical glass gem corn this year, at the farm and in my garden, and it is by far my most precious plant. When we were evacuating I actually thought about picking it all, even though it wasn't quite ready. Picking the small patch on the farm today, in this first clear air and blue skies in weeks, I felt like I was high. There is something about corn for me - the beauty, the diversity, the stewardship of generations of native people and farmers before me, the feel of the ears on my hands, and the incredible abundance of nourishment they provide - I feel the sacred contract we have with the earth and plants when I grow corn, more so then many other plants we grow. I'll post more pictures when we have them all shucked, the diversity of glass gem in particular is mind-blowing. Feeling so grateful for this harvest, for the clean air, for the clouds today and my daughter getting to play outside.
