Flowers are an integral part of how we grow our ecological market garden. They are important companions that help our vegetables to thrive, and attract beneficial insects, birds and pollinators. You will find rows of happy sunflowers tucked along the squash, colourful zinnias & cosmos lining the driveway, flowering pollinator strips with native plants like coneflowers & yarrow between our vegetable beds, and bergamot & jasmine-scented nicotiana flowering in the orchard. We have flowering herb gardens, calendula in our greenhouse, and marigolds at the end of every tomato row. We leave many flower seed heads standing over winter to provide food for wildlife. We also love wild "weeds" and have plants like goldenrod, dandelion, red clover and milkweed growing in our meadow. Pollinators love these wild flowers for forage.
We also grow flowers to use for dye (e.g. coreopsis, black hollyhock, dyers' chamomile), flowering herbs for our tea blends (e.g. chamomile, anise hyssop, lavender, tulsi), edible flowers to add to our salad mixes (e.g. nasturtium, cornflowers, violas), flowers for drying and wreath making (e.g. strawflowers, statice, amaranth, sweet annie). All the flowers give us an abundant supply of beauty and joy! We want to share some of our blooms with you.
