Gladiolas! Yup I'm posting lots about glads because I've come to love them and that's what's blooming now in my smaller garden this year:)

Hi Glads!

Gladiolas are coming!!! The peaches and burgundy are opening first and hundreds coming including red and yellow. Lots of bold!

Message me if you'd like an order of glads. Pick up Weds or Fri! Or next week. They can be mixed with amaranth or just on their own.

I've been taking the summer off of growing as many flowers (the regular growing area has a cover crop and is enjoying the chickens!) but I still planted lots of gladiolas.

Hi everyone! I'd love to make you a bouquet for pick up Tuesday or Wednesday- here are some of the blooms you can choose! You can choose a red theme or pink theme...accented with blues, greens, whites and lime!

I've been away travelling to Haida Gwaii which was incredible for me to take a break...now I'm back and would love to hear from you. Send me a message to place a bouquet order (minimum order is $35, bring your own jar)

In order of photos-
Delphinium
Ladies Mantle
Yarrow (pinks)
Feverfew
Lime Millet
Snaps
Black Bachelor Button
Hot biscuit amaranth (burgundy also available)

The plants have popped back up after the hail but there is certainly damage to the stems, so some blooms fell over after I picked them:/

Mother's Day Sale! 

(Aka, a lovely human in your life)

Buy 3 "bucket bouquets" and get a 4th free if purchased by midnight May 14! Click the link in bio to sign up.

Give a gift of joy and connection to a meaningful person in your life
Choose from six Saturdays throughout the summer to pick up a florist bucket of carefully grown and hand picked stems. Your recipient (or yourself!) gets to create a seasonal unique arrangement from flowers grown "right here"

Let's celebrate locally grown flowers, caring for the land, and connecting with others. 
I recognize that Mother's day can be tough for those who aren't mothers in the "conventional" way (like me!)- this opportunity to connect and show appreciation doesn't have to be for a mom- really anyone in your life, even you!

You’ve seen the beautiful bouquets and maybe you’ve even purchased some for yourself or your loved ones, but have you wanted to get a behind the scenes tour to see how we grow these beautiful blooms every summer?

We’d like to invite you to come tour Swallowtail Flowers to learn about the inspiration and vision that drives what we do, how you can grow your own flowers at home, and get a chance to see some of the beautiful flowers that make up our weekly bouquets!

We’ve got two great events planned!

TOUR + BOUQUET MAKING: Saturday, August 27 @ 9-11AM - come take a tour and then cut and create your very own bouquet to take home! $40/person

TOUR + FLOWER GIFT: Wednesday, August 31 @ 7-8PM - come take a tour and leave with a beautiful little flower memento as our thank you! $10/person

Spaces are limited, so reserve your spot today by filling out the form linked in our bio!
