Little Sweet Flower Farm

We are a family-owned flower farm and Wisconsin native plant nursery in Larsen, WI, rooted in land stewardship and guided by nature.

Our mission is to restore balance between people, plants, and pollinators, one garden at a time.🌿🌎🐝🐛🩷🐦🦋🌎🌿

Flower crab spiders don’t spin webs to catch their meals. Instead, they sit quietly on flowers and wait for pollinators to come within reach. They’re masters of camouflage, sometimes blending right into the flower they’re hunting from.

Around here, we leave them be and let nature do its thing...even if they’re eating the very pollinators we work so hard to attract.

A little look at our CSA bouquets lately.

8-week, 4-week, and monthly subscriptions, all grown, gathered, and wrapped up right here at Little Sweet Flower Farm.

So thankful for everyone who has made our CSA part of their summer.

CSA flower delivery days are pretty sweet already, but coming home with two dozen beautiful farm-fresh eggs from a CSA subscriber made my day. 🥹

I’m so grateful for the little exchanges that happen through this farm, and even more grateful for the genuinely kind people I get to meet along the way. 🩷

An empty van and no kids with me...dangerous combination. 😂

I had way too much fun shopping for rusty garden treasures and plants at Woodland Gardens and Gifts outside of Eden (I even went back today to get more). Their perennials are half off right now, and the plants are gorgeous. Go check them out!

My job here is done.

This has been a heavy week for so many in our community. It's simply not been business as usual here. I have found myself stepping away, not really knowing what to say or how to navigate this space while so many people around us are hurting.

When I had my kindergarten classroom, we would sing a "Wish Well" song each morning. It was a simple way for my students to share their worries, their feelings, and to send care out into the world to anyone who was experiencing something difficult.

This week, I have found myself singing those Wish Wells again. My heart is with our local communities, our neighbors, friends, fellow homeschool families, customers, and so many families impacted by the tornado in the Menasha, Neenah, and Appleton areas. These are communities woven into our everyday lives, and it has been hard to watch so many people face the aftermath.

I don't have the right words, but I didn't want to keep moving forward without acknowledging what has happened.

Take care of one another. Community matters, especially in times like this.
Much love and virtual hugs are being sent to anyone who needs them.

One of my favorite native plants at Little Sweet Flower Farm is having its moment right now: Eastern Purple Coneflower.

Our mass planting is in full bloom, and these flowers make me so happy. From morning to night, they are covered in life. Native bees, hummingbirds, monarchs, swallowtails, painted ladies, skippers, fritillaries, and so many other pollinators are stopping by.

Here is the good, the not-so-bad, and the things to watch out for with Eastern Purple Coneflower:

🌱 THE GOOD

Eastern Purple Coneflower is a powerhouse native plant.

• Provides nectar for monarchs, butterflies, native bees, and hummingbirds.
• Blooms late in the season when many other plants are fading.
• The seed heads provide food for birds through winter and into spring, especially goldfinches. Leave those cones standing! Feed the birds!

A helpful tip for monarch lovers: coneflowers provide nectar, but monarch caterpillars need milkweed. Planting milkweed nearby gives them a place to fuel up and raise the next generation without having to travel far.

🌱 THE NOT-SO-BAD

On hot, sunny days, coneflowers may droop during the heat of the day. This is called transpiration stress. They are conserving energy and reducing water loss. If they perk back up when temperatures cool, there is no need to water.

You may also notice eriophyid mites, which can make the center cone look distorted or fuzzy. While it may look unusual, this is not the same thing as aster yellows and is usually not a reason to remove the plant.

Japanese beetles may nibble on leaves and flowers. If they become a problem, hand-picking and dropping them into soapy water is a simple option. My chickens and ducks always enjoy this crunchy treat!

🌱 THE CHALLENGE

Aster yellows. This is different from mites. It can cause flowers to turn green and leafy or create unusual growth patterns. Unfortunately, there is no treatment. Remove infected plants and throw them away (do not compost) to help protect the others.

Eastern Purple Coneflower is a workhorse plant. It brings beauty, supports an incredible amount of wildlife, handles tough conditions, and keeps giving long after the blooms fade. Perfect gardens don’t exist. A healthy garden is one full of life, and Eastern Purple Coneflower is one of the plants that helps make that happen. We will have plenty available this Saturday at the Oshkosh Farmers Markets!

Last weekend I had the chance to do something I don't get to do very often this time of year...a Repurposed Roots succulent party for a baby shower.

Repurposed Roots is another little piece of Little Sweet Flower Farm that usually comes out during the winter months when flower season slows down. It's a hands-on succulent workshop where everyone gets to create their own planter. I share a little about succulent care, everyone picks a repurposed vessel they love, decorates it, plants their succulent, and leaves with something they made themselves. It's relaxed, creative, and always a lot of fun.

The sustainability piece of Repurposed Roots is one of my favorite parts about these parties. The vessels, containers, trays, baskets, and even the table décor all came from thrift stores. The only things that aren't thrifted are the plants, soil, decorative accents, and spoons. Instead of these items ending up in a landfill, they get a new purpose and a new story. Some vessels are vintage, some are quirky, and some have really neat stories behind them. Every piece is different, which makes every workshop a little different.

Repurposed Roots is perfect for baby showers, bridal showers, birthdays, bachelorette parties, team events, or just getting a group of friends together for a creative afternoon.

Thankful for the opportunity to be part of such a special day. I had a blast!

Our flower subscriptions are officially in full swing!

Last week we kicked off our Summer 4-Week and 8-Week Bouquet CSAs while continuing to create bouquets for our monthly subscribers. After months of planning, planting, and tending the field, it's always exciting to see subscription season come to life.

If you aren't part of a subscription this season, we'd still love to see you. We have some beautiful and fresh bouquets available at Whisk & Arrow today, and we'll be back at the Oshkosh Farmers Markets this Saturday with bouquets and a great selection of Wisconsin native plants, ready to help you bring a little more beauty and habitat home.

Have a great Wednesday!
