“Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.” – Derek Walcott

This gathering is for the wild-hearted dreamers, garden groupies, flower freaks. Welcome all. This is a creative exercise to keep falling in love with the world beginning with ourselves.

We’re inviting you to the farm to make your own “feast on your life” bouquet with fresh dahlias, lisianthus and many others you will be excited to meet. Write a love letter to yourself, and let the flowers remind you that your beauty and wonder are worth celebrating. Come as you are—we’ll have the flowers waiting. There will be fresh herbal tea and a snack, songs and photo opportunities.

Join us for a tour of the dahlia garden at Wild Heart Farm to learn how to support and harvest dahlias to encourage repeat blooming. We will share tips on extending their vase life, and guide you in arranging techniques for these beautiful focal flowers. Take home a bouquet of dahlia flowers and the experience of being on the farm in the height of the summer growing season. Bring your own vase. We recommend a quart-sized ball jar with a small opening. We will have vases for purchase if you forget!
