As most folks know, Green Peak Farm is on indefinite hiatus as a farm operation, as many wonderful life changes have happened (marriage, relocating to Middlebury, and heading back to school-- as a student!) But, the small-scale growing continues at an even smaller scale in Middlebury, and the mental garden also continues to expand and be cultivated in New Haven.
Flower growing is on hold, but I hope to keep arranging and using local flowers this summer. Here are a few more work shots from August with flowers from GPF, 3 generations of Brakeleys, and Elmer Farm. I'm compelled to post these equally because I just love the flowers, I adore and can't help but share the photography of two awesome Vermont pros, Jesse Schloff and Heather Dahle, and because Liz and Wil are one heck of a handsome couple.

The gorgeous couple-- Congratulations, Wil and Liz!
While I would not recommend to most folks that they grow, harvest, and then arrange their own wedding flowers, it was a pretty amazing to walk down the aisle this summer to meet the man I love with a special bouquet in hand. Mine was made entirely of flowers that I started as seedlings in March or harvested from friends' farms or three generations of family gardens, and was wrapped in part of my mom's veil and a hanky embroidered by my great, great grandmother. So many factors go into making a wedding special, textured, and nuanced. What fun!
Hi Mego,
ReplyDeleteIt is great to see Green Peak Farm online again. These are beautiful flower arrangements and photos. Thanks for sharing them.
