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.

Wreath making is much like making boutonnières- fiddling with tiny flowers, and time consuming. But the devil is in the details, and they can be so sweet. Find these wreaths tomorrow (Sunday, December 5th) from 10-4 @thehomesickmarket Hope to see you there! #driedflowerwreath #driedflowerstyle #saskgrown #saskatchewanflowerfarm #slowflowers

This bouquet seems to be a favourite with people on my stories, so it’s likely to be snatched up quickly at @thehomesickmarket on Sunday, December 5th. Currently this is a limited edition of 1, but I might be able to find just enough of the lovely blush Strawflowers and statice for a 2nd bouquet. And, if I could ask one thing of you today, could you please help get the word out about this market happening downtown on Sunday, December 5th? I know I’ve been working my butt off preparing, just as the other 40+ vendors are doing too. We would love to have your support and a great turnout at the market. Please follow @thehomesickmarket, share my 3rd photo to your story, or tag a couple friends in comments who you would love to go shopping with at the market. #shoplocalyxe #yxesmallbusiness #shopsmallyxe #yxechristmas #yxemarket #yxeshoplocal #yxeshopping #yxemakers #yxecrafts

🎄 It’s official- I’m attending a Christmas Pop Up Market! 🧑‍🎄 🎁 @thehomesickmarket is on Sunday, December 5 from 10:00AM till 4:00PM at the Hilton Garden Inn across from the midtown. Follow @thehomesickmarket for a preview of all the amazing, local vendors who will be attending- there’s going to be a lot! I’m going to be one busy gal creating all sorts of dried flower beauty for you to choose from- I will be bringing bouquets, dried flower wreaths and Christmas ornaments as well as gift certificates to be used for our U-Pick Flowers at the Farm next summer. This is a last minute pop up market and we would really appreciate your help getting the word out to the people of Saskatoon and area, please share this to your stories! There is no fee to enter, but the market will require a proof of vaxxcination- deliberate typo. #shopyxe #yxeshopping #thingstodoinsaskatoon #thingstodoinyxe #saskatooning #saskmakers #saskmade #yxeartist #yxedesign #yxebusiness #shoplocalyxe #yxeshoplocal #visitsaskatoon #tourismsaskatoon #dtnyxe #shopsaskatoon #thehomesickmarket

My ‘off season’ is busy planning for next year

My ‘off season’ is busy planning for next year and thinking about how I want to grow my business (how big do I really want to be, which direction do I want to move it, what makes me happy and is best for my family?) I started the farm as a way to stay home with my daughter; I’ve found that building a business from the ground up (literally), can be all consuming and has taken much more of my focus than maybe I anticipated. I love having her grow up with flowers and nature, learning about work and helping out, but I also don’t want to be so focused on work that I am distracted in these special, early years. So, there is lots to think about for next year; where to expand, and where to scale back. My thoughts keep coming back to the fact that I need an extra set of hands helping me with the work load next year. I did have help from a great teenager every week, and it made a huge difference in what I was able to accomplish, but next year I think I need even more manpower hours. I’ll hopefully have a more balanced life, while still being able to reach new customers and have a more profitable business. Small business mamas, how are you doing? Any changes you want to make for your business and your family? 📷 @erikarphoto #saskatchewanflowerfarm #yxelocal #sasksmallbusiness #smallbusinessmama #shopsmallsk

I’ve been wanting to share photos of this beautiful wedding forever!! Rayel asked me to do the florals for her August wedding, and I’m so glad she did! It was the push I needed to step out of my comfort zone and challenge myself. When trying something new, there will always be times of stress, but you don’t really grow as a person or business until you make those moves. I’m so fortunate to have the friendship and support of my local Saskatchewan flower growers, 3 of whom stepped up when I needed supplementary flowers. Big shout out to Michele of @petal2_metal in Holbein, Carla of @fleetingflowerco in Prince Albert, and Koren of @petalsnedibles in Grandora. You ladies helped elevate this wedding (and saved my bacon when I was short on some colours) If you are getting married in 2022, I have decided to take on a few small weddings. I do have a form that you can fill out that goes over what you are looking for in wedding florals and lays out some pricing. I can review your information and get in touch with you, to discuss if I would be a good fit for you wedding. 📷 @erikarphoto #yxebride #saskwedding #saskweddings #skwedding #yxeweddings #yxewedding #skweddingflowers #yxeflowers

How I feel now that the 230 peonies, 8200 tulips, 900 daffodils are planted and all the fall garden chores are done! Bring on the snow, warm fires, and dried flower crafting while we wait for a beautiful spring! 📷

The list of fall chores is getting shorter, but there is still so much to do before I can put a big ✅ on the list. Today I planted 2200 tulips, but I still have 400 daffodils to plant tomorrow. And I’m waiting (impatiently) for my large peony shipment to arrive- I’ll be planting almost 280 peonies. Some of the holes are dug in preparation but that’s another job I have to finish. As soon as my peony shipment does arrive, I’ll be packing orders and arranging for delivery and mail out to everyone who has placed orders. That being said, there are still peonies available on my site up until they arrive. There’s about 80 or so available, and I’m hoping you buy them, but if not I’ll thank myself in 3 years when I have extra peonies ready to cut because I’ll be planting the leftovers. What fall jobs do you have left to do? Tulip Drumline- planted today from @unicornblooms #fallchores #saskgardening #gardeninginsaskatchewan #zone3garden #peonyplanting #tulipplanting #skgarden

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
