la diosa de la luna ๐ŸŒ™

who knew a flower so devoted to the sun would ๐’”๐™๐’Š๐™ฃ๐’† during the night? ๐ŸŒ‘

ah, perhaps we have it wrong.

perhaps it is the moon who seeks the flower.

we assume the sunflower seeks the sun, that it turns toward the light because it longs to be near it. but perhaps the moon is searching, too.

as we know, lovers cannot outshine each otherโ€ฆ

so perhaps the flower waits until darkness falls, opening only to moonlight while the sun continues its search. a perpetual chase known only to the darkness + earth.

perhaps love has never been about ๐™ฌ๐™๐™ค shines brightest, or ๐™ฌ๐™๐™ค follows whom.

perhaps it is simply the longing to find each other again. ๐ŸŒœ๐ŸŒ–๐ŸŒ—๐ŸŒ˜๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒ‘๐ŸŒป๐ŸŒ’๐ŸŒ“๐ŸŒ”๐ŸŒ›

๐—” ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ธ ๐˜‚๐—ฝ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ: our family member is doing better, and weโ€™re grateful for that news. However, weโ€™re still navigating the uncertainty surrounding an unexpected family medical emergency, and our plans may need to remain flexible over the coming days.

Iโ€™m not going to lie and say Iโ€™m not disappointed that we missed last nightโ€™s market. I had so many new, cute products prepped and ready to release, and Iโ€™d been looking forward to sharing them with everyone. But the health of our family and perishable flowers are always a gift, yet sometimes plans have to change.

I tried to pivot to a day market, but honestly, weโ€™re also relieved that it didnโ€™t work out. Weโ€™re exhausted, and we need a little room to catch our breath ๐Ÿ˜…

So with that, weโ€™re still working through the unexpected changes to our plans from this weekend and are working toward opening our online shop by Monday, but all existing orders have been processed accordingly.

In the meantime, if you have flower needs for a gathering, celebration, ofrenda, or simply your own space, ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—น ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐——๐—  ๐˜‚๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ฒ๐˜…๐˜ ๐˜‚๐˜€ ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—น๐˜†. We have seasonal flowers and fillers available that arenโ€™t typically featured in our online shop, and weโ€™re happy to discuss what we currently have available.

Thank you to everyone who has given us grace while we navigate this situation. Weโ€™ll share updates about our next market event, flowers, and seasonal inventory as weโ€™re able.

Thank you for your continued patience and support.

๐—™๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—–:

I joke that Iโ€™m mostly here because I bought three cute ceramic pots and let the peer pressure ruin my life, but the truth is, Iโ€™m the one who builds the world we're growing in.

I started gardening as a hobby and wanting to do something fun. I would consider myself a Chaos Gardener with a YouTube degree in heavy construction with no machinery use. I donโ€™t always have a strict plan or a spreadsheet, but if I did, ๐˜ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฏโ€™๐˜ต ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ ๐˜ช๐˜ต. When we needed space, I didnโ€™t just plant a seedโ€”I self-taught my way into building almost 0.75 acres of custom garden beds, engineered our support systems, and built our greenhouse from scratch.

While Farmer G is investigating the seeds, flowers, and the birds/insects, Iโ€™m the one building the bones of the operation. That often involves hoarding empty 1-gallon plastic pots for plant starts, trying to look cool in utility overalls, holding a personal grudge against grocery store herb and vegetable prices, and happily spending hours playing with worms, turning compost, discussing soil science, and diving deep into mushrooms.

๐™๐™ค๐™œ๐™š๐™ฉ๐™๐™š๐™ง:

One of us brings the brilliant clinical observation, global art forms, and deep ecosystem science; the other brings structural engineering, practical ingenuity, and an amazing ability to turn an idea into something real.

Our two worlds collided to build something wild, organized, and entirely our own. Growing became our why and our way into your gardens and our community.

We approach the dirt from two completely different directions, which makes our ecosystem a little wild, a lot observant, and highly fueled by many energy drinks.

๐—™๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—š:

The art of noticing didnโ€™t stop when I left nursing. For years, my career was anchored in deep observation and care. When my trajectory toward a doctoral program unexpectedly shifted, that same investigative energy found a new place to land: the ecosystem around me.

Turning to the dirt wasnโ€™t a retreat. I didnโ€™t choose this path, but it became a way to stay creatively engaged with the world in front of me. Now, I spend my days, nights ๐Ÿซ  investigating every living thing that catches my attention. Currently on the roster: globemallow volunteering in the yard trash, flowers apparently holding secret meetings, and legumes with multiple career opportunities. Honestly, their versatility needs to be stressed.

I started a lentil seed growers group, taught myself piano basics, am also learning Korean + French, and I lead bird + butterfly funerals, so youโ€™ll see a lot of those art forms reflected in my work.

Stay tuned for our next Growerโ€ฆmy wife! ๐ŸคŽ๐ŸŒฑ
