Frequently Asked Questions

We do not have a storefront as we are flower farmers, not florists.
We rent land through the Westerly Land Trust and grow most of our crops at the Barlow Preserve at 449 Westerly Bradford Road in Westerly. This is the location for all custom orders (i.e. bulk buckets) and subscription bouquet pickups. To find out all the locations you can find our flowers click here:
-
We are a seasonal farm that runs from the end of April to November with fresh flowers, then we finish the year with potted holiday Amaryllis in December.
-
Technically the Barlow Preserve is open to the public. There is a hiking trail that takes you around the perimeter of the property. From this vantage point you can see the field and get an idea of our operation. You can not, however, enter any of the gated areas as those are off limits.
Our private, ticketed events are the only time guests have access to the flower field directly.
-
Yes! It’s a real hub of activity.
The Barlow Preserve is a Westerly Land Trust Property. The house you see on this property holds their offices and is where board meetings and certain events take place. It is also where their incredible volunteers meet, where youth education field trips and adventures take place, and it is home to the Barlow Nature Preserve hike.
It is also home to our beloved Farm Stand (thank you Saint Construction!). In season, you can stop by the Farm Stand every Thursday and Friday 3:00 - 6:00. Pull in the driveway and park on your left. The Farm Stand is also where my customers pick up their orders.
Two farms work the land on this property: Echo Rock Flowers and Frontier Farm. Cassidy of Frontier Farm grows exquisite vegetables and herbs. Be sure to check out her website and support her!

If you purchased one of my bouquets through any of my retail locations and/or through the subscription - thank you!
You’ll want to get the most out of your fresh-cut flowers, so here’s some best practices to keep in mind:
Make sure your vase is clean enough to drink out of so bacteria doesn’t grow (this leads to premature wilting), fill with fresh cold water and sprinkle in the flower food that is stapled behind the label on your wrapped bouquet.
Unwrap your flowers, cut off the rubber bands, and give the stem ends a fresh cut with snips at a 45° angle. This will ensure that each stem can drink up the water that it needs to stay hydrated.
It’s best to keep your vase away from intense light or heat.
Keep an eye on water levels daily as fresh flowers are extra thirsty!
For bonus points you can recut the stem ends and change out the water after 3 or 4 days and it’ll likely extend the life of your bouquet.
Different flowers last different lengths of time. As certain blooms fade, just simply pluck those out so the bouquet continues to look fresh. Customers often whittle down their initial bouquet to a sweet bud vase that will hold some blooms for up to 6 weeks!

Yes - we offer two wedding options.
1. Full-Service Weddings (limited availability)
We now take on a small number of full-service weddings each season. This includes customized floral design, communication and planning support, on-site setup, and breakdown. These dates are limited so we can give each event the attention it deserves, and because we design primarily with our own seasonal, farm-grown flowers. If you’re dreaming of a garden-inspired look and value locally grown blooms, full-service may be a great fit.2. À La Carte Wedding Menu
For more intimate celebrations or couples who only need a few floral pieces, our à la carte menu is a simple, budget-friendly option. You choose exactly what you need - bouquets, boutonnieres, or bulk buckets - and pick them up at the farm. This option is best for couples who don’t require a strict color palette and love our signature, garden-fresh style.*A La Carte menu will be available on the website with 2026 dates soon!
Both options allow you to enjoy elegant, seasonal florals grown right here on our farm in the way that fits your day best.
-
This is dependent on availability in the field (season-wise, for example most of June there just isn’t enough blooming yet to confidently offer presale). Also, we have other events in the books and have to limit our offerings based on that.
I do need a 6 week lead time on orders. As we hit that 6 week mark for each date, those dates will no longer be available on the website. So it’s best to get your order in early if you can!
-
Yes of course!
My services are a great fit for the following: rehearsal dinner, cocktail hour, dinner parties, and birthday/anniversary celebrations.
-
Unfortunately, because of the lead time I require for event work, this means I cannot put together pieces that you would need on short notice. You could always purchase flowers at any of my retail locations. Local florists would be glad to help you further.
