Ordering will open today at 6pm for our new seedling option, “flower garden in a box,” as well as the last tulips of the season! Flower seedlings are ready to plant this weekend! Tulips will be mixed bouquets featuring 8-10 stems of single and double tulips in ivories, yellows, pinks, and purples. Place your order by Friday at 6am for pick-up either Friday 2pm-6pm or Saturday 9am - 1pm.
Our “flower garden in a box” is a curated set of seedlings featuring unique varieties in a bright, saturated color palette that are easy to grow and cut-and-come-again, making it an ideal option for the home gardener who wants to have cut flowers all summer long. The flower seedling box is also plastic free, meaning no plastic cell packs or trays. Instead, flower seedlings are grown in soil blocks - which are made by compressing soil into a free-standing cube - and will be distributed in a cardboard tray.
“Flower garden in a box” is $50 (plus tax) and will include 24 organic flower seedlings composed of 10 different varieties (exact breakdown below as well as a photo of a complete box). Wondering how much space you’ll need? If using 9” spacing, you’ll need about 15 square feet of space to fit them all. You can also spread them out more to make space for some bushier plants, and if you pinch the center of the plants you’ll encourage more branching! Flower seedlings will be delivered already hardened off and ready to plant. We recommend planting them within a week, and keeping them well-watered in the meantime.
Ordering will open today (Wednesday) at 6pm and close Friday morning at 6am. Pick-ups will be on the farm stand porch Friday, May 22nd, from 2pm-6pm and Saturday May 23rd from 9am-1pm. First select a pick-up time and available items will appear in the online shop. If you’d like you order left our for later pick-up after we close up please email melissa@barrettsmillfarm.com. Ordering is open to all - no need to make an account to place an order. Payment is made by credit card. Alternatively, Barrett’s Bucks members may select the “Bucks” option and we will record the purchase in our Barrett’s Bucks records.
