Dahlia tuber divisions are still in full swing! Every day, it seems, we take crates of dahlia clumps to our work stations to inspect, divide, and then pack them away on the shelves of our dahlia storage room. All this is in prep for both our February tuber sale as well as for planting in the spring.
Notice something out of place in the background? That's a bottle of cinnamon with a small paint brush next to it. Those of you who have taken one of our dahlia classes will remember that we use cinnamon to "treat" and dry "wounds" on some of our tubers. Cinnamon is known for its antifungal and antibacterial properties, and it's all natural, which is what we strive for in our operations.

There's no one "must do" way to store your dahlia tubers, but we have found what works for us. We dig them up as carefully as possible, wash and dry them, divide them in a manner that allows us to keep only the healthiest tubers, and then pack them away for a long winter sleep.
Our tubers are kept in a special room monitored for proper temperatures and humidity levels, and then checked regularly to be certain they continue to stay healthy.
Interested in having us store tubers for you? Contact us for details.

Day 2 of this beautiful wedding was held at one of our favorite venues, The View at Pepperrell Cove. Set along the coast at Kittery Point, Maine, the views were a wonderful backdrop for a joyous celebration and thoughtfully placed elements of floral beauty.

Intimate and stylish, this two day wedding was so much fun to work on. Day one was romantic and beautiful up on a rooftop in downtown Portsmouth. The couple and their family were simply wonderful to work with as well. They communicated their hoped for "vibe" as well as noted some favorite flowers and colors... and then trusted us to make it happen.

Did you know that we carry a whole line of gardening hand tools? These are tools that we really believe in. They are tools we even use ourselves.
For instance, we use the same gardening shears that we sell. ...and they have been put through the test!!! They are proven work horses for sure, and we simply can't say enough good things about them!
Still not sure? Ask to hold or try out a pair. Because we use them here on the farm, we're likely to have a pair somewhere nearby that you can try out.
Sold in the floral boutique.
Fridays 9am to 12pm, 3pm to 5pm
Saturdays 9am to 5pm
We'll see you there!

Yes. We sell dried flowers also!
Not into fresh cut flowers? That's OK. We carry a whole selection of flowers that have been dried right here on the farm! Plus, they haven't been shipped in, you can count on very good prices.
Check 'em out whenever the floral boutique is open!

Special thanks to herbalist Deanna Larson who walked us across the grounds today pointing out different plants and their beneficial properties. It was a fascinating walk!!!
#shepherdsgateflowerfarm #shepherdsgateflowers #farmingtonnh #newhampshire #newengland #newenglandfarms #flowerfarm #weddingvenue #newenglandfloraldesigner #newenglandflorist #newenglandbrides #localflowers @nhmagazine @countrylivingmag #newenglandweddings #weddingflowers #localflowers
Pesticides & Fungicides in the Care of Flowers
When choosing to buy cut flowers, consumers generally don’t want to see holes chewed through the petals and foliage of their purchase. In some cases, different animals, insects, or fungi can destroy entire crops. In order to avoid this kind of damage and loss, flower farms may choose to preemptively apply large amounts of pesticides and fungicides to prevent it. This approach is generally more typical of huge scale operations.
While their use usually works really well to end up with a full, untouched crop, there are some concerns that go along with overuse of these chemicals. Some of them can lead to health issues for animals and humans that have prolonged exposure. They can harm species of insects that they do not target, and can work their way up the food chain into the systems of amphibians, birds, and small mammals.
One way that we try to approach these issues thoughtfully is by keeping a close eye on all of the flowers that we grow. Healthy plants have their own pest control devices, so we strive to maintain a healthy environment across the property for plants, animals, and people alike. As such, as a general rule, there are no harmful pesticides or fungicides that we apply to our garden beds and fields.
If we find that there is an infestation beyond what our first-choice efforts can control, we will then opt for biopesticides or pest deterrents that are natural and safer for our environment, and even then, we will only apply it when and where it is needed most. (More on those in another post).
Part of the beauty of running a small scale flower farm is that we have the capacity to care for each bed and field intentionally. Even soil and microbial health is of great importance to us.
So, is it working? We hope that the care we provide is clear to you in how beautiful the blooms and foliage look!

A great movement has been gaining strength in which people find ways to be less wasteful in their daily lives. Buying locally sourced flowers is a beautiful way to do that!
Over the years, there have been some occasions in which we have ordered flowers or greens from outside vendors to help supplement blooms and foliage that have been requested for events like weddings, so we have seen first hand the kind of waste that this produces. Extra products that might come in some of these shipments may include: cardboard, plastic wrapping, plastic ties, rubber bands, styrofoam, cellophane, paper, or all of the above. Just for one order of one kind of flower!
Whenever possible, we use compostable materials in our production activities, but in the spirit of transparency, we acknowledge that we do use some plastic trays, cells, and containers for seed starting, as well as some plastics to help us with weed control and season extension; however, we try to source sturdier materials that will last at least several seasons and take care of them so that they last as long as possible before we consider ordering more.
However, a major goal of ours is to greatly minimize any potential supplemental ordering (for some of the bigger events we do) by increasing our production activities. This means growing more of the flowers that we love using (and that our clients love seeing!) each year.
Be assured that when you leave our farm with a bouquet in hand, the only waste you’ll likely have is not more than a rubber band and maybe a paper wrap! The flowers themselves can be composted, and if you have your arrangement in a vase or jar, those are easily recycled or reused. (We even gladly accept our mason jars and vases back once you’re done with them.)
We hope that if one of your goals is to reduce waste, that you think of Shepherd’s Gate Flower Farm or one of your own local flower farmers! Believe us when we say that the support that you give to your local, family farms is much appreciated and benefits not only your local communities but also the environment in which we all live.
Have a beautiful day!
The Team at Shepherd’s Gate Flower Farm
Getting to know us and learning a little about how farms like ours are a benefit to you, your family, and the surrounding communities.

As we head through the 2024 growing season, we want to think with you through the question, “Why choose local flowers?”
Maybe Shepherd’s Gate is one of your local flower farms, or perhaps you live far from us and have someone growing flowers in your neighborhood that you can support. Either way, we want to share with you why we feel supporting your local flower farmers is a good thing, but also take you along and show you how we do things here.
In this series, we plan to share some informational posts twice monthly. One will be about the benefits of choosing local flowers and how they compare with those that are shipped in from far away, and the other will be about some of the practices we implement at our farm to grow beautiful blooms for you to enjoy!
We hope that you can learn something new (as we are constantly doing) and are encouraged to seek out flowers in your area or even to grow your own (there is no downside)!

What harbingers of spring do you usually use?
Pictured here is a Winter Aconite. For us, it's usually the first flower to open on the property. We're always very excited to see them, and they just showed their first sunny petals yesterday.

May your day be filled with beauty and love, especially the type that's slow, steady, and perseveres through all the craziness that life might throw your way.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. - 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NIV

We do a lot of planning during the late fall and early winter months. One of the joys of doing all that planning is taking stock of what happened during the season now gone.
Remember peonies?! (Shown here with lupine.)
Wow! We just LOVE peony season! Over the last few years, we've invested a lot of time, energy, and resources into our peony section, and we expect that 2024 is going to be the best year yet in terms of bloom size, color, and quantity!
Don't miss out! Buy a Spring Flower Share, book our florals for a late May or early June event, or at the very least, follow our social media posts and sign up for emails so that you stay updated on all the ways to take advantage of florals on the farm!

The Almighty appeared on earth as a helpless human baby, needing to be fed and changed and taught to talk like any other child. The more you think about it, the more staggering it gets. Nothing in fiction is so fantastic as this truth of the Incarnation. - J.I. Packer
It's official! We are now closed for the rest of the year. Time to enjoy some much needed family time.
Merry Christmas and happy new year!

2024 Flower Shares become available for purchase on November 1st!
These CSAs, a term that means community supported agriculture, are a way for individuals, families, and businesses to support local farms through the pre-purchase of goods and services at a time when revenue generation might be a little slow for those farms (think cold months).
We term our CSAs "shares" because we encourage those who purchase them to think of themselves as a part of our farm family - that's how much it means to us when you purchase a flower share from us!

We have an abundance of paper wraps, jars, and branded items with us today!
Please come and say "Hi!"

There's a buzz in the air on wedding days. Time spent in meetings and consultations, planning and logistics, harvests and floral prep, and of course the very artful time spent crafting arrangements, bouquets, and floral wearables... it all comes together in this moment! We love wedding season. It's a lot if work for sure, but it's also a great honor and joy to be part of such a special day.

To everyone who came to today's PYO, "Thank you!" We're so glad you had a fun time, and we loved all the comments about how you enjoyed both the experience and the grounds!
... and WOW! Those bouquets you came back with!!!! Well done!!!!
To anyone who missed today's Pick Your Own experience, there's another opportunity on Saturday, September 9th. Spaces tend to fill up fast, so we strongly encourage you to pre-register via our website: (www.shepherdsgateflowers.com).
We also suggest signing up for emails (also done on the website). As the season progresses, there is a chance that we'll be able to open up new dates. If so, that will be announced via email and social media.
Likewise, the special, dahlia PYO opportunity will be announced via those means once we get closer to that date and can assess both of those fields.

Dahlias.... sunflowers... lisianthus... and SO MUCH MORE!!!!
If you haven't been by the farm in a while, this is certainly the time to do it! We have an absolutely gorgeous combination of flowers blooming right now!!!
The Porch, usually stocked with both jars and wraps, is open Wednesday through Saturday (and some Sundays depending upon availability).
The Floral Boutique, with both florals and gifts, is normally open from 9am to 1pm on Fridays and Saturdays, but until 4pm on Fridays for the next few weeks.
This is also a good time of year for gift giving. The florals are GORGEOUS, and we have lots of great gift ideas in the shop (from bath products and candles to t-shirts, totes, and gardening products). Buy something for yourself, a friend, or even get started (dare we say it) on your holiday shopping.

A beautiful couple in a gorgeous venue! I loved that this couple allowed me some freedom to do something different. The bride wanted lots of rich greens and ferns everywhere. We used a mix of apothocary jars to create a unique an elegant setting. ❤️
Congratulations, Sadie & Tyler!
