Astrantia + ferns is a garden combination that just keeps on giving. They look great in my zone 5b Madison, WI garden from June all the way til frost.

This little corner of the garden features Astrantia 'Star of Billion', Athyrium 'Ghost' and Japanese painted fern.

Next season I want to add more colors of astrantia! I've been eyeing Astrantia 'Burgundy Manor' because I think it would look lovely with the bright green fronds of common male fern (Dryopteris filix mas).

I'm sad to say the frost hit my cutting rows hard on Friday night, which marks the official end of the 2026 growing season.

That doesn't mean things slow down around here though. Now it's time for fall bed prep then the great dahlia dig.

A few things are hardy and are still blooming (hello snapdragons and chocolate cosmos!), but most of my blooms are done.

I used everything I cut on Friday before the freeze and some leftover imports to make myself an arrangement this evening. This bouquet features dahlias 'Rose Toscano', 'Nana's Petals' and 'Valley Porcupine', a snip of crab apple branch, nicotiana 'Cranberry Isles', Japanese anemone 'September Charm' and imported salmon ranunculus.

It feels like I blinked and the 2026 growing season is almost over.

Thank you to all my wonderful clients who trusted me with flowering your most precious days this year. It never ceases to amaze me that I get to spend my evenings and weekends surrounded by so much beauty.

I'll be in the garden all day tagging the dahlias in case tonight's frost wipes these beauties out. I'm hoping the frost misses my garden, because I'm not ready for the season to end.

I added a couple extra 'Creamy' dahlia plants to the cutting rows this year. It was definitely a good decision.

Also, these tall upright petunias meant for cutting are so special. I only trialed a few plants this season, but they'll definitely be getting more row space next year.

Soaking in every moment of summer beauty from the garden I can. Autumn will be here before we know it.

This bounty in the garden this time of year is always so overwhelmingly beautiful.

This arrangement featured everything that was calling to me on a walk through the cutting rows this morning:

Dahlias 'My Forever', 'Ferncliff Copper' and 'BJ's Rival', 'King Size Apricot' china aster, 'Sahara' rudbeckia, Lemon basil, 'Winged Everlasting' ammobium, 'Pinky Promise' snowberry, some random snapdragons, zinnia and gomphrena.

Happy Birthday A!

Birthdays call for beautiful blooms.

This arrangement that went out this afternoon features the most amazing local blooms, plus some imported roses.

Spectacular scabiosa, brown lisianthus and the sweetest bronze fennel flowers all from Whipoorwill. Dahlias, strawflower, coneflower and snapdragons from my cutting garden, and imported 'Shimmer' roses.

While my full time job outside the studio + our event schedule doesn't always allow for day to day orders, I'm always happy to deliver something special for you if my schedule is open 💓

Things have been quiet on my feed - I seem to only have time to snap a quick video or pic to share in my stories this time of year!

Between the extended cold start to the growing season and then the neverending rain, plants are eager to get into the ground. It's a wonderful, chaotic season 💛

Weddings are in full swing too, and oh, it's been a beautiful season. Hope you're enjoying your spring!

It was a beautiful, flower filled week in the studio!

Designing with these tulips and ranunculus has me itching for my own garden blooms to cut. Only 26 days until spring!

In the meantime, I'm busy starting seeds, presprouting anemones + ranunculus and dividing the last of the dahlias. Garden season will be here before we know it.
