BEGINNINGS: In the spring of 1999 I began selling perennials from the driveway of our home. A few dozen extra plants were gathered from our personal gardens and potted in recycled nursery containers. The original sale lasted just two weekends but I was hooked! Thanks to loyal, repeat customers our much-anticipated plant sale has continued to grow each spring.

KEEPING IT FRESH: Since the beginning I've worked to increase the variety of plants by propagating new babies from seed as well as by cuttings and plugs. Our repeat customers know there will always be something new to try each year. While our focus is mainly flowering perennials I also enjoy sharing a few leafy shrubs. Occasionally you may also find some corn and pumpkin starts or annual sunflower seedlings.
I LIKE RECYCLING: Farmhouse Flowers strives to provide customers with affordable, home-grown plants for their gardens. Our gardening friends help us do this by returning plant pots on a regular basis. We recycle plastic nursery pots that are gallon (6") sized and larger - no 4", cell packs or decorative planters please. Send me an email and we can arrange pick-up or just bring your extras with you when you stop by the sale.
WINNER! We were excited to be recognized twice in Whatcom County's 2008 Whatcom in Bloom Awards Contest. One for 'best residential garden over 1/2 acre' and the other for 'best maintained garden'. I would encourage you to consider entering...its a friendly competition!
