One of the privileges of living and working on a flower farm is getting to wander through the field when everyone has gone home.
I love the bustle of the day, our LNFF team and the people who come to visit. But in the evening, when everything grows quiet, I notice things I’ve missed: a bee tucked into a dahlia, birds chattering in the hedgerow and the last of the autumn sun on my back.
Most days I’m thinking about stem counts, colour palettes, picking stages and deadheading. This evening I simply wandered and looked at the dahlias. So many colours and shapes, and still they manage to surprise me.
I hope these little moments from the field give you a chance to pause and enjoy them too. 🌸
