Our Work

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. #shepherdsgateflowerfarm #shepherdsgateflowers #farmingtonnh #newhampshire #newengland #newenglandfarms #flowerfarm #weddingvenue #newenglandfloraldesigner #newenglandflorist #newenglandbrides #localflowers @nhmagazine @countrylivingmag #newenglandweddings #weddingflowers #localflowers #chappeldesigners #weddingvenue #newenglandfloraldesigner #newenglandflorist #newenglandevents #newenglandbrides #localflowers #newenglandweddings #newenglandweddingstyle #weddingflowers #bridalbouquet #weddingflowers

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! #shepherdsgateflowerfarm #shepherdsgateflowers #farmingtonnh #newhampshire #newengland #newenglandfarms #flowerfarm #weddingvenue #newenglandfloraldesigner #newenglandflorist #newenglandbrides #localflowers @nhmagazine @countrylivingmag #newenglandweddings #weddingflowers #localflowers @barebonesliving

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! Fridays, 9-12, 3-5 Saturdays 9-5 #shepherdsgateflowerfarm #shepherdsgateflowers #farmingtonnh #newhampshire #newengland #newenglandfarms #flowerfarm #weddingvenue #newenglandfloraldesigner #newenglandflorist #newenglandbrides #localflowers @nhmagazine @countrylivingmag #newenglandweddings #weddingflowers #localflowers

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! #shepherdsgateflowerfarm #shepherdsgateflowers #farmingtonnh #newhampshire #newengland #newenglandfarms #flowerfarm #weddingvenue #newenglandfloraldesigner #newenglandflorist #newenglandbrides #localflowers @nhmagazine @countrylivingmag #newenglandweddings #weddingflowers #localflowers

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. #shepherdsgateflowerfarm #shepherdsgateflowers #farmingtonnh #newhampshire #newengland #newenglandfarms #flowerfarm #weddingvenue #newenglandfloraldesigner #newenglandflorist #newenglandbrides #localflowers @nhmagazine @countrylivingmag #newenglandweddings #weddingflowers #localflowers

I don't know about you, but I am ready to put winter behind us and step into some beautiful spring color. Daffodills are opening now.

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)! #shepherdsgateflowerfarm #shepherdsgateflowers #farmingtonnh #newhampshire #newengland #newenglandfarms #flowerfarm #weddingvenue #newenglandfloraldesigner #newenglandflorist #newenglandbrides #localflowers @nhmagazine @countrylivingmag #newenglandweddings #weddingflowers #localflowers

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 #shepherdsgateflowerfarm #shepherdsgateflowers #farmingtonnh #newhampshire #newengland #newenglandfarms #flowerfarm #weddingvenue #newenglandfloraldesigner #newenglandflorist #newenglandbrides #localflowers @countrylivingmag #newenglandweddings #weddingflowers

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! More information can be found on our website (link in bio): www.shepherdsgateflowers.com #shepherdsgateflowerfarm #shepherdsgateflowers

The days are getting shorter and, believe it or not, freezing weather is in the forecast. Our best guess is that our last day of flowers from the field will be this Sunday, 10/29.

Oh, just a dreamy bouquet that I learned to make in my floral design workshop with @gregorlersch . I am still excited about all that I learned.

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. Photo: a corner point with shear, white draping.

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. #shepherdsgateflowerfarm #shepherdsgateflowers #farmingtonnh #newhampshireflowerfarm #newenglandfarms #flowerfarm #newenglandflowers #rochesternh #slowflowers #countrylivingmag #nhmagazine #flowermagazine #cutflowers #cutflowerfarm #localflowers

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! photography: @markkarkphotography Venue: @thebarnonthepemi #shepherdsgateflowerfarm #shepherdsgateflowers #farmingtonnh #newhampshireflowerfarm #newenglandfarms #flowerfarm #newenglandflowers #rochesternh #slowflowers #flowermagazine #cutflowers #localflowers #nhwedding #newenglandwedding #seacoastwedding
