August in the Garden
August is one of the most exciting months in the garden. After months of planting, weeding, watering, and waiting, the dahlias are finally beginning to bloom. Every morning brings new surprises, and I can’t wait to share all of the beautiful varieties that are just starting to open.
Bloom Buckets will be available by special order during the first week of August while supplies last. If you’d like to reserve one, please reach out early so I can harvest the freshest flowers just for you.
I also have so many beautiful herbs just waiting to be harvested, You can place a special order anytime.
Please note: Petal by Petal will be closed August 7–16 while my family and I enjoy one last summer vacation before school begins. As a small, family-run flower farm, I’m so grateful for your understanding and look forward to returning refreshed for what I hope will be the peak of dahlia season.
This month is also completely booked for A New Dawn bouquets. I’m continually humbled by the thoughtful nominations I receive and honored to share flowers with so many deserving people. I’m now accepting nominations for the next available deliveries beginning in September.
When I return, my focus will be on caring for the garden and preparing flowers for the special events already on my calendar, including a wedding on August 22. During that week, the flower stand may be stocked a little more lightly as I reserve my best blooms for those commitments. I’ll continue stocking the stand as the garden allows, with more flowers joining the buckets each week.
Along with the first dahlias, you’ll continue to find cosmos, lisianthus, snapdragons, rudbeckia, sunflowers, amaranthus, herbs, and other seasonal favorites making their way into bouquets. Because everything is grown here in the garden and harvested fresh, every visit to the stand is a little different.
As summer winds down, I’m looking forward to spending these last few weeks before school with my kids, caring for the garden, and watching the dahlias finally take center stage.
Thank you for supporting this little flower farm and the mission behind it. Whether you’ve stopped by the stand, ordered a custom bouquet or Bloom Bucket, nominated someone for A New Dawn, or simply followed along, I’m so grateful you’re here. Your support allows me to continue honoring Dawn, one bouquet at a time.
If you’ve been waiting for dahlias, September is the month you’ve been waiting for. The garden should be at its fullest, and I’m looking forward to sharing the incredible colors and varieties that make this season so special.
Early in the season, ranunculus and anemones begin to bloom, followed closely by peonies as the garden wakes up for summer.
August marks the beginning of dahlia season, as the first blooms are harvested and gathered into stems and small bouquets. This is when the flower stand really begins to fill up for the season.
The peonies bloom for a fleeting window in early June, usually lasting about two weeks. Their blooms are a favorite and available only while they last.
As the weeks pass, more varieties begin to bloom and the garden fills with color. This is when the season really takes off.
By July, zinnias, cosmos, lavender and other summer blooms begin filling the garden with color.
