POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
The newest issue of FIELD NOTES, our quarterly journal, arrives next Friday, August 14th at noon EST on our website. Subscribers, your early-access link has just been mailed to your inbox! 💌

Inside this issue (our biggest yet!):

• A comprehensive guide to field-grown foxgloves - from details on every cultivar we’ve ever grown, to harvesting techniques, and best practices for sleeving and delivery. Plus, notes on growing Digitalis x mertonensis, an at-a-glance monthly maintenance schedule for biennials, and harvest data from this past season.
• My initial thoughts on growing heuchera for cuts, harvesting Catherine’s wheel (Michauxia campanuloides), and meeting the infamous ‘Vovos’ tulip.
• An herbalist’s deep-dive into the existing flora around the farm, their identification, and their various medicinal properties with Alex of @strawflower.craft - including a guided reading list and an herbal recipe!
• A discussion with Marybeth of @starsofthemeadow on choosing crops that will serve multiple sales outlets from florists to farmers markets, observations about the cyclical nature of flower trends, lilies (!), and what it means to cultivate successful and fulfilling customer relationships.
• A conversation with Cara of @threenotchflorals on her ongoing garden renovation, her favorite varieties of hellebore and bearded iris, our mutual obsession with British gardening culture, and how becoming a gardener has shifted her perspective on floral design. Bonus: an extensive recommendation list of gardens to visit - both local and overseas!
• A chat with Jenny of @tommyboy.club + @softperilla on cooking Korean comfort food with local, seasonal ingredients, the joy of foraging and experimentation, and living a delicious life.
• Plus, a photo diary of our long-awaited visit to Innisfree and Stonecrop in June.

In the meantime - if you haven’t already, you can download our Chocolate Cosmo Issue for free at the link in our bio. And if you like what you see, please consider joining us as a subscriber for the seasons ahead!
