This season reminded me that even when we do our research, make thoughtful decisions, and work as hard as we can, life doesn't always cooperate. Nature has a way of humbling us. Farming certainly does.

Out of bird seed this winter? Your pantry holds the answer. From apples and bananas to peanut butter pine cones and hard cheese, discover healthy kitchen staples that will keep your feathered friends well-fed during the cold months. Learn which foods are safe, how to prepare them, and creative ways to serve them that birds will love.

Every time someone chooses That Farmhouse Gardens to be part of their wedding journey—whether they want me to design everything or simply need guidance to create their own magic—I'm humbled. I'm grateful. And I'm reminded that this work is about so much more than beautiful blooms.

It's about the relationships we build. The confidence we nurture. The moments we help create. And sometimes, if we're really lucky, it's about finding unexpected friendships that bloom right alongside the flowers.

Is there something that you thought about doing before and you didn’t know if you would ever do it? Try it? Make it? I think we all have those moments and when we are presented with the chance to do it, there is excitement, anxiety, joy and sometimes even fear!

I was always taught, "Do not pinch your sister!" and "Do not pinch your brother!" The times that I was the one who got pinched, I remember going to my parents and saying, "He/she pinched me!"

Growing dahlias was something I wasn’t much interested in because I would have to dig them up each year. That was until I actually started to grow them. Now they are one of my favorite flowers.
