How to Make a Market Bouquet // Northlawn Flower Farm

[@MrsZero]

Stunning bouquet, I just wanted to reference what you posted on Instagram that someone left only $3 after taking 2 bouquets. Massive shame on them, and that it's a reflection on their lack of morals and not a reflection on you. You're so talented and generous to share your flower skills with us all. I'm sure I speak for many people when I say I have learnt SO MUCH from you. With love from Europe :)

[@gardengatesopen]

So fabulous!! That looks like it is at least a $60. bouquet, if not more!!! Just beautiful ❤

[@ayina114]

Beautiful & stunning flower bouquet. Wow just wow

[@jacintabyline]

You are so talented Danielle! Not to mention very generous to us all with your hints and tips. I'm so looking forward to spring here in New Zealand - so I too can pick the blooms in my garden (a work in progress). Well - hoping there will be blooms lol! I've sown enough packets of seeds and most have germinated.

[@amyh2523]

The colors are stunning. Gorgeous bouquet!

[@videoability1]

Spectacular, Danielle. I learn something new with every video! A simple turning of the bouquet as you add the flowers! Who knew! Choosing Joy~ stephanie 💐

[@mygardeninbloom]

Your bouquet turned out beautiful! 🌻

[@nicolechew1029]

Love that you can walk around your garden at any given time and put together a beautiful bouquet. Great job!! 💐

[@bethannmorrill1429]

It would be nice if when you made bouquets or arrangements that you could list the plants and flowers in the description. That way we (speaking for myself) don’t have to search for what they were called or try to figure out how to spell things to research if they would be suitable for our areas. Cause I want them all!! Lol. You do such a great job! Thanks for everything!

[@karenlopez5441]

I needed this! Getting stuck making mason jar arrangements...I was adding stems to the jar instead of using your method of putting it all together then cutting the stems and adding to the jar. Thx! This is such a beautiful mix of textures and colors!

[@erinbs1072]

I found I make this mistake as well!

[@AndreaAubertin]

Wow...gorgeous! Love that pop of the Feverfew against the deep blue!

That is probably the prettiest bouquet of flowers I have ever seen. Some people just have an eye for arranging colors and foliage and you definitely have a talent for that. Just gorgeous!

[@deeaustin379]

Lovely bouquet! I wish I had all those flowers to pick from to make a bouquet. Planting suggestions for next year!

[@monawolfe]

Gorgeous bouquet! I wanted to tell you I did what you mentioned in yr Hardy annual video & left my Snapdragons in place & can’t believe how strong they came back in my zone 5b! I would say they are even more floriferous than last year, strong stems & no flopping. I have Apple blossom as well though mine have more of a pinker lip, no yellow hints like yours. I added Madam butterfly Bronze this year next to them and they compliment very nicely. I wanted to to say thank you for that tip! 🙏 💗 💐

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens]

This just made my day Mona!! Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone! It's so helpful to hear what works and doesn't work in other zones. Would you mind giving another update in the fall? I'm curious if the plants will wane at all. I stuck mine in the Island of Misfit Flowers which is being overtaken by weeds, so I'm afraid I will not be able to give an accurate fall update. Thank you!

[@monawolfe]

@@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens Awe, sure thing! I have an entire, probably permanent bed devoted to snaps in full full sun. It has reseeded itself, plus I planted some seedlings in between just in case last year’s plants didn’t bloom, which they did & EARLIER than the others! Do you know of any other Hardy annual that do that? Bc I think last year’s growth produces stronger blooms bc of the size of the rootball. Like Dalmatian Foxglove which is blooming now but will probably bloom even better & earlier next year. We should all experiment with NOT pulling plants & just see what happens. 💗

[@karenlopez5441]

Mona are the snaps you overwintered ones you planted last spring or last summer/fall? I’d like to try this. I have snaps that are blooming now but Costa seedlings I’m planting out soon for fall blooms. Wondering which I’d keep in the ground?

[@monawolfe]

@@karenlopez5441 I planted those Last Spring (2020). I’m not sure what type Costa is or if it will do that. I think it needs to be the “All season” variety which Apple-blossom is, but for example I don’t know if the Madam Butterfly Bronze which I planted next to them will overwinter. I’m going to leave them and will report back. All I did was to leave them in place, cut them back in late fall when they started looking really rough & scattered the seeds all over. Then in spring all I did was to WAIT to see if the “stumps” would start producing stems. They did, and I just left them, let them grow & composted around them.

[@sandrakay8540]

Mona. Thank you for sharing. Very good to know since I am in same zone.

[@GardeningOnTaylorMountain]

Great video and beautiful bouquet! I watched it twice (as I do most of your videos ☺️) so I could see the different parts of your garden. Thanks for teaching us different aspects of flower farming 💚👩🏼‍🌾

Gorgeous bouquet, Danielle! You are such an artist! I wish I had as many different flowers in my garden as you do! What are those sweet yellow flowers, by the way? You grabbed a big swath of them.

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens]

Hi Sue! That is feverfew😀

[@janiebryant8068]

As always, I find your videos enlightening, encouraging, and very helpful in my flower gardening journey. Thank you!! I have a question. I am growing strawflowers after hearing the ways in which you use them. A few of mine are budding up but they do not seem to open beyond one set of bracts. Is there a reason for this? They sure are pretty even though the process seems to have stopped. Have a great summer day!

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens]

Hi Janie! If it's only been a few days, or even a week I would not worry. They take awhile to reach maturity. Once they have a stiff neck (do the wiggle test) they are ready to harvest.

[@melanie970]

How gorgeous 😍

[@gardengirl7446]

SO beautiful Miss D! You've inspired me to try setting up a flower stand at my place! How much would you charge for that bouquet?

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens]

Hi friend! It depends alot on your area, but here I charge $40 for this. If the bouquet had more expensive flowers it could go for $50.

[@chrisdavies6473]

Wow, if sold at the farm gate in UK it would probably be more like £10. You are so lucky that people in the USA value your work.

[@arlenejones1391]

Beautiful !

[@ElderandOakFarm]

I'm finally getting a lot of flowers coming through in my 1st cut flower garden and I am now realising that making bouquets is not as easy as I thought it would be! Some of the flowers like snap dragons are a lot more fragile than I realized!?!

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens]

I'm so glad your flowers are coming in! Are the snap florets falling off? They have most likely been visited by a bee. Try to snag them a bit earlier. Or is the stem weak?

[@ElderandOakFarm]

@@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens its the little florets. That's what I was wondering. So harvest when the bottom 3rd have formed but haven't opened?

[@inbloom2006]

Following, I've been waiting for the bottom third to open but I have definitely seen bees in there so maybe I should get them sooner...

[@kimiwaffles]

So beautiful Danielle. What is the name of the larkspur? you skipped over it xox

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens]

Hi! Sorry about that. It is Giant Imperial Blue Larkspur.

[@TheBriRock]

Beautiful!!!

[@katewalz1380]

Such a beautiful bouquet and your video was so easy to follow. How big is the craft paper you are using?

[@marykart6514]

Just a question about dry flowers. Do you use any spray with dry arrangement when you design them. 😊🦋⚘🌺🌷

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens]

Hi Mary! I have never personally used a spray, but I have heard that hair spray works well for flowers that tend to shatter. I have a vague memory of my grandmothers doing that.

[@health.bites.5615]

What size kraft paper do you generally use for making your market bouquets?

[@rosecharmflowers]

beautiful

[@amysgardenstead2879]

Beautiful bouquet! I’m sure you explained conditioning before. What is quick dip and which flowers need to be conditioned?

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens]

Hi friend! Quick dip is a hydration product that helps keep the flow of water moving up the stem. You can see me use it here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2SqmpR6iKd-fsk All flowers should be conditioned before arranging, meaning that they sit in their original harvest buckets in a cool dark place for many hours before arranging.

[@gardengirl7446]

Where do you buy the craft paper and what size is it Miss D? Love 🧡 Linda in Vancouver

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens]

Hi Linda! I purchase it from Uline. 2x2 feet Kraft paper seems to work best. Purchasing by the roll is often cheaper😃

[@gardengirl7446]

@@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens thank you miss D ❤

[@ElderandOakFarm]

@1:47 what was the foliage to the left of the (I think) lamb's ear? The large green foliage?

[@GengaKim]

Absolutely beautiful! What do you do to condition them, It appeared all the flowers weren't conditioned in the same bucket. I know tulips and buttercups(??) should be separated for a bit, what other flowers should be separated? Also, is there anything you can spray bouquets with to get any bugs or nats off of them. Great job Danielle!!

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens]

Hi Kim! My apologies, this is probably a case of me doing too much editing. All the flowers were picked into two buckets the night before. They all sat in those buckets overnight. Hydrangea, cerinthe, and Dara benefit from a dip into quick dip. In the morning I pulled out almost all the ingredients and layed them in front of me. In terms of bugs, the biggest help I've experienced is to pick very early in the morning or in the late evening when the bugs are less active. I also sometimes wash the heads. Right now I have bed of Orlaya that the carpet beetles love. I have to dunk every head in water and swirl them around to dislodge them.

[@GengaKim]

Ok... what is your secret that all of those are full bloom for you?! I’m in the same area you ate, started seeds very early, and am nowhere near that! Lol!

[@gavinsflowers7663]

Same here. I started seeds and I didn't have much blooms yet .

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens]

Hi neighbors! I put alot of these things out 6 weeks before the last frost, or they were fall sown. The larkspur, nigella, dara,and feverfew were all fall planted. The sunflowers I put out 4 weeks before the last frost and covered with agribon.
