2021 Recap

What a year it was for Liliharp Flowers, moving to a new farm site in February and having the opportunity to transform 2 acres of never-before farmed land into a flower oasis!

Though starting anew wasn’t without its challenges - drought, deer, and bringing electricity to the farm were at the top of the list for 2021 - the highs most certainly outweighed the lows.

We witnessed pollinators appear and multiply before our eyes, hard red clay become lush soil full of earthworms topped with fields of flowers, brides and other visitors walk through the fields admiring the blooms, and workshop attendees create masterpieces amidst the shade trees. All this proving my favorite sentiment to be true: you have to believe it before you can see it, and how beautifully a vision that began in my mind became a reality with a lot of blind faith and, in this case, a lot of sweat equity too. Okay, and maybe a few round of tears thrown in as well.

As much as was accomplished in 2021, there’s still so much more of the vision left to achieve. So this winter is being spent not only on planning the fields for 2022 but also dreaming up fun ways to bring flower lovers to the farm at certain points throughout the year! We’re also completing an on-site design studio that will house lovely vintage vases and be a cozy spot for creating weekly bouquets and custom floral commissions. Small weddings, elopements, and parties are starting to make the year look exciting, and I’m so grateful to be able to create special floral pieces to enhance the feel a space by using seasonal garden style design - bringing my flower fields to you!

At the end of the day, the mission of Liliharp Flowers is to provide beauty in the form of flowers whilst helping preserve pollinators and nature as it’s intended to be, so thank you times a million for your love and support along this journey. You’ve proven that flowers create connection and connection brings joy - and joy is contagious. So cheers to ringing in a new year with a happy heart and a head full of dreams for the next growing season. Can’t wait to show you what the new year brings…
