Planning your 2013 wedding?

  

We are connected to the local communities in Sebastopol and Occidental, California.  We grow all our own flowers and sell directly to the public at the Occidental Bohemian Farmer's Market.  We also design and provide flower arrangements and bouquets for local weddings and events.  Check out the link below for a list of wedding venues in the Occidental area:

Oyster Mushrooms

 

Last of the roses.  The bushes have been pruned.

Our late winter garden offers up this interesting bouquet. 

More vegetal than floral - note the celery, chard and carrot tops in the arrangement.  Fragrant narcissus - harbingers of Spring.

And the wild mushrooms continue.

Christmas Bouquet

Erica was able to create this end of season beauty by ferreting out the few blooms remaining in the flower garden after our recent rains and frost.

 A variety of red, pink and yellow roses, sweet william, ornamental cabbage, delphinium, lollipops, and Italian white sunflower.  All hardy survivors bringing us their floral joy during the 

holiday season.

The finishing touch:  some mistletoe foraged from nearby trees.

Giant Bolete Mushrooms

He's keeping their location a secret!

Check out the very soggy Laguna in the background, swollen to lake size proportion after the latest series of storms.
