grow well.


the space where i am growing is home to grow well, a community of folks who provide holistic wellness support for people near and far.

a spirit of healthy living is certainly present at the farm!  

here is a recent video featuring flower street farm made for grow well's website. its quite short. and quite beautiful. hope it provides a little inspiration!

flourishing.



hooray! beets!
 
life is flourishing at flower street! there are new vegetables and flowers to harvest every week. insects are dancing all around. weeds are also making their presence known.

today was a day to start confronting some of those weeds. a dear friend joined me on the challenge. and the company was an encouraging delight.

i was reminded of the tendency to spend so much energy adding to what we have. that we can forget to take care of what already exists. and i considered how necessary it is, to spend time with that which is crowding out our intentions. how essential it is to let go of that which gets in the way of growth.

there are many more weeds to face. and i may not get to all of them. but, there is a bit more order, a bit more space for flowers and veggies to be more fully themselves.

and taking a step back from all that must be done in these busy spring days, i can see there is a lot that is going well. a lot to be grateful for.

snap dragons and stock, looking lovely lovely
