Flower Care

Rinse and re-cut the stems.

Choose a clean vase; fill with lukewarm, clean water.

Add flower food, dissolving water before arranging flowers.

Place in a cool spot, away from ripening fruit and sunny windows.

Change the water at least every 2 days (every day is better).

Check every day, removing wilted stems; top up water if needed.

Hey there, I thought it was time to say hi and introduce myself again. I’m Bailey, the face behind Boondock Flower Farm. I just finished my second growing season, and I’m really excited to start my third year- I feel like year three is the year when I finally have a handle on things and I’ll be a ‘proper flower farmer’, 😝 After working for other people for 15 years, (I’ve worked in banking, agriculture, retail, service and mining), I feel like I have found my niche. I decided on flower farming when my maternity leave was about to end, thinking it would be a good way to stay home to build a business and raise a family. My baby isn’t a baby anymore, and she wants to be right in there helping with everything I do. I hope she stays as curious and helpful with the garden as she gets older. I really wanted to thank you for being here, and following along our flower filled adventure- I appreciate your support so much. Have a great Friday! 📷 @erikarphoto

Peony and Tulip Shipping Updates My shipment of t

Peony and Tulip Shipping Updates My shipment of tulip/daffodil/ranunculus/anemone arrived today, but I’m not expecting my peony order until next week (it shipped from Ontario on Tuesday). I’ll be making a trip to Saskatoon this Saturday- the meetup is at the Western Development Museum at 10:00AM. I’ll be making a second trip next Saturday (same time and place). If you ordered tulips and peonies, you can pick up your tulips this Saturday and the peonies next Saturday. Or, you can get them all at once next week. We’ll start packing orders when we get home, but there is still time to order if you have been on the fence. But we’ll be planting our own tulips and any that haven’t sold before next Saturday. If you have any questions, please send me a message! Planting and growing instructions are provided for each type of flower. If you are in Unity/Wilkie/Battleford, I’ll be making a trip your way with Eucalyptus in the next week or two and I can bring your order too. Free local pickup/delivery in Biggar. And we ship across Canada too! Many thanks to @maybelle_farm for the use of her peony photo. #saskgardening #zone3flowers #zone3gardening #yxegarden #canadiangardener #yxegardens #gardeninginsaskatchewan

Vibrant and colourful- dried without any chemicals

Vibrant and colourful- dried without any chemicals to enhance, bleach or preserve. I’m taking orders for dried bouquets. I come to Saskatoon every couple of weeks and can deliver. Unity/Battleford friends- it looks like there is enough interest in the eucalyptus that I’ll be making a trip your way. If you would like a dried bouquet, this would be a great opportunity to get one! #yxeflowers #driedflowerbouquet #saskgrown #skflowerfarm #saskatchewanflowerfarm

The Eucalyptus is Ready! Saskatoon friends I’ll

The Eucalyptus is Ready! Saskatoon friends I’ll be in the city tomorrow (Monday, October 4) at 12:30 for a meet up at the south Preston Sobey’s. And I’m hoping to be in again on Saturday for another meet up at the WDM parking lot. Biggar friends- I’ll be in town on Tuesday later afternoon. NB and Unity Friends- if there is enough interest I am thinking about making a trip your way too. Comment below if you would like a bundle (and which size). Pictured below are the medium (20) and small (10). Not pictured is the large size for (50). #saskgrown #zone3grown #saskatchewaneucalyptus #yxelocal #yxeliving

Yesterday, we dug up the dahlias. In the spring I had planted almost 150 tubers, but we pulled up less than that yesterday. I managed to kill quite a few plants, most of which were from cuttings and large plants when they were planted (sorry Joanne 😢). The ones that did well were new tubers I had bought (totally in love with my @unicornblooms selections). Of the tubers I tried to store overwinter, I maybe had 2 or 3 actual plants grow. So I’m hoping for better success this year. I washed off my tubers, which I didn’t do last year. They get a day to dry off, and I might halve some of the large clumps and do some trimming to tidy them up. Then I’ll be packing them in vermiculite and taking them to the dungeon of the root cellar for the winter. I’ll be checking on them more, and pulling them out of the root cellar a lot sooner than I did this past spring. How do you store your dahlias for winter? #zone3dahlia #zone3gardening #dahliadigging #saskgardening #skgarden #prairiegardening

‘Femininity’ - This is arrangement 4 of 7 from my flowers saved before the frost. This might be my favourite out of all them, but each arrangement was so unique it’s hard to pick just one.

The first, with the play of light; or the third with with bright background? #gardengathered #gatherandcurate #inspiredbyflorals #gardenstyleliving #flowersfromthegarden #fallfeelsfridays #inspiredbypetals #seasonalshift #slowflowers #realflowersoftheseason #flowersfromthefarm #farmerflorist

‘Ode to Autumn’ arrangement. This is one of 7 floral arrangements that I made out of the last of my fresh flowers saved from the frost. I’m really glad I took the time to play with my flowers a few nights ago- I had been putting it off for almost a week! The autumn leaves from a shrub in the garden lead this design and everything fell into place. It felt really great to stretch my creative muscles 💪 This arrangement includes:
Hot biscuit amaranth
Jewel of Opar
Benary’s giant zinnias in orange and deep red
Queen lime orange zinnia
Vincent’s choice sunflower
Procut gold lite
Viking Dahlia
Maarn Dahlia
Madame Butterfly Red Snapdragon
Unknown shrub foliage Huge shoutout to @c2itphotography for coming out on short notice to take some flower portraits for me. #gardengathered #gatherandcurate #inspiredbyflorals #gardenstyleliving #flowersfromthegarden #fallfeelsfridays #inspiredbypetals #seasonalshift #slowflowers #realflowersoftheseason #flowersfromthefarm

Farewell summer; there’s much I enjoyed about it

Farewell summer; there’s much I enjoyed about it, but fall on the prairies is pretty spectacular. The poplar leaves changed colours as quick as I could snap my fingers, and I’m deeply embracing the seasonal shift with earlier evenings and fall chores. I’ve slowed down in the garden since our first frost last week, and it’s been good to catch up on things around the house, and sleep too. Are you a fall lover, or are you mourning summer? #fallontheprairies #saskfall #fallinsaskatchewan #sweaterweather🍂 #sasksunset #sasksunsets #meanwhileinsaskatchewan #goldenhourportraits 📷 @erikarphoto
