The Spring Equinox represents a time of renewal, fertility, and rebirth. In agricultural societies, the spring equinox marks the start of the planting season, when crops are sown and farmers begin preparing for the coming season of growth.

We start almost all of our starts using soil blockers, they are wonderful! Grow your own flowers to enjoy all summer. Bring your own seeds that you would like to grow or you can choose from what we’ll have on hand. Flower options we’ll most likely have are - Calendula, Cosmos, Amaranth, Bachelor Buttons, Zinnias and more.

The small soil blocker makes one set of twenty 3/4” blocks.

• Easy to use and makes an indention for seed sowing

• Eliminates transplant shock

• High rate of germination

• Earlier blooming and fruiting

• Environmentally friendly

• Space efficient

• We use this size blocker 95% of the time in starting flowers, herbs, and vegetable seeds

In this workshop we will show you how to use the amazing soil blocker. We will be using a 20 cell soil blocker to start seeds you can then take home and nurture until it is time to transplant them. Only small seeds will work with this size, so if you want to bring larger seeds like peas, I will have a larger soil blocker you are welcome to use but please bring your own larger tray (no holes).

What is provided:

• Various flower seeds to choose from.

• Seed starting soil.

• The use of our soil blocks. This is a way to test it out to see if it’s for you! Then you can buy your own when you’re ready. Ask any questions you have!

• A small tray to put the soil blocks in.

• Up to 40 soil blocks can be made to take home, that’s a lot of flowers!

• Instructions on how to continue nurturing them at home

• Tea and a light snack included.

Optional Spring Equinox Meditation!

Wattle Tree Place will be hosting a mediation prior to the soil blocking workshop, starting at 9:30am. Join us in welcoming the spring with a morning mediation outside as we clear our minds to create space for setting springtime intentions. Through this community ritual everyone will get the chance to set intentions into the flower seeds you’ve sown and nurture in your own garden. WTP will be taking donations for this beautiful service, thank you!

Ever wonder how florists make large installations without floral foam? How do we figure out what mechanics to use? Are there good flowers to use? Flowers that shouldn’t be used? How do we make sure flowers have a water source? Or maybe you just want to help create something glorious!!

Let’s get creative and use different mechanics to make a large floral…well….art piece! We’ll chat first about how this all works and you’ll be set loose to put it into action with flowers grown right on the farm.

There will be the use of a ladder to get to the high places, but if heights are not your jam there’s no pressure! We get to collaborate together as a team from all different backgrounds, how exciting! We’ll be designing on the farm’s lean-to, it’s going to be epic my friends.

I’ve chosen an evening class with the hope that the weather will be warm but not too hot, and we can get some beautiful sunset photos! We’ll need a minimum of 5 people for this class to run, if we don’t make it to that # then you’ll receive an email well in advance and you’ll be refunded.

Things to know:

*Light refreshments included.

*Keep in touch with the weather so you can wear appropriate clothing (sturdy shoes too!), and bring a water bottle!

*I recommend 12y/o and up for this fun class.

*You’ll each get to take down the section of the install that you made and take it home!

*Class purchases are non-refundable (unless we need to cancel it). However if you find you can't make it, please by all means give your spot to a friend!

You’ll receive an emailed reminder as we near the date.

Join us at the beautiful Kindred Homestead Supply shop in downtown Vancouver where we’ll make fun and colorful flower crowns!

We’ll be using all dried flowers (grown and dried by us!) and gluing them onto either a ribbon or head band that you bring or you can use ribbon I will bring. I’ll have a rainbow of flower colors to choose from! This can be for Pride month and/or just for fun. We love our LGBTQ Community, you’re all encouraged and welcome to come.

Things to note:

• If you bring your own ribbon/head band, it will need to be 1/2”-1” wide.

• This glue is sticky! If you’re paying for your kid to join in the fun and make their own, it can get messy fast, so I recommend 10y/o and older for this class.

• I REALLY hope you wear it all day with no inhibitions, just saying!

I had SO much fun making the test flower crown, they are a breeze to make and I felt like a flower fairy, sprinkling a little joy everywhere I went. I wore it everywhere I went that day!

P.S., the picture of my daughter, Juniper, is freaking amazing. I couldn’t help but add it in!

Join us at the F&F Farm for a laid back time for your Mom or someone who fits that role in your life that you’d like to have quality time with. If you are out of state but want to gift them with someone special this is a fun and unique option! But in all honesty, this can be something for anyone!

In this workshop you’ll learn how to design your own hand tied bouquet and how to wrap it the way we do here at the farm. This is a great skill to learn! If you want to grow your own cutting garden, you’ll have the skills to make a beautiful bouquet and wrap it for a loved one. These easily transfer to a vase as well!

We’ll have wine and a little bit of snacks to keep you wanting to hang around a while. This is a laid back class, no experience with floral design necessary, zero pressure! I’ll offer tidbits of knowledge but let you really let loose and enjoy the moment. Let’s not take ourselves seriously for a sec, eh?

This class is more geared toward adults (thus the wine, hehe!). That said, 10 y/o kids and up are welcome.

You’ll receive an emailed reminder as we near the date.

***Important parking info! Please do not park in the driveway that leads to the house, we do NOT live there! We rent some of the land south of the house. You’re welcome to park alongside the fence across the street. Thank you!

You ask, you receive! A LOT of you have requested a workshop where I can teach you how to make your own sustainable/compostable wreath, so let’s do it!

In this class we’ll make an everlasting autumnal wreath using dried flowers (grown by me!) using a wreath form made from vines, twine and a glass of wine or two. Once the flowers are in place it’ll most likely be about 18” across. You’ll have lots of dried flowers to choose from so you can truly make it a unique design! Since we’ll be using dried flowers, be aware that they won’t last as long outside on your front door (this wet PNW weather doesn’t help!), mostly likely for 2 + months. However, inside they’ll last forever!

I’ll have a couple snacks to munch on too, so let’s take our time and make something beautiful for your covered front door or in your home (even better, it’ll last longer).

When it’s getting close to workshop day, you’ll receive an email with more information. In this class you’ll be using a lot of finger dexterity, so young children might have a hard time with it, maybe even some adults! I recommend over 12 years old.

This will be a laid back class where we’ll meander through the flowers and learn how to correctly harvest them. After harvesting them we’ll make a wrapped bouquet that you can take home!

We’ll have clippers and vases you can use during the class, but please bring your own container to take the flowers home in. $45 per person.

I offered this class earlier in the year, but there were no takers, so I’m trying again because it’s super fun!

The price for one “ticket” includes all the materials to make one wind chime/sun catcher. Each child and caregiver can work on it together (one per pair). $25 for one child and one caregiver.

Bring your snacks and water bottles and have fun creating something together that you can put on your porch in inside your home.

Thanks for the idea! https://handsonaswegrow.com/nature-suncatcher-wind-chimes/

We’re teaming up again with our favorite coffee shop in Vancouver, this time for Valentine’s Day! Be sure to mark your calendar’s for Saturday, Feb. 12 9am-12pm. We’ll have some lovely options for you to gift a loved one or to treat yourself!

We’ll have new beeswax candles, including sweet little floating hearts and flowers. We got creative and are making sachet’s filled with lemon eucalyptus, silver dollar eucalyptus, mountain mint, and lavender that smells amazing! They can be used in a variety of ways, such as in your closet, clothing drawer, bath, or a steamer in a pot on your stove. Of course we’ll also have dried flower bouquets and dried flower wreaths.

You can pre-order fresh flower bouquets in our Shop Page and pickup at the Pop up. Easy peasy!

Field & Floral is doing our first ever pop-up at Advice Booth in Portland! Come stop by for this special event.

There are only 10 spots available for this event! It's that time of year when we start thinking about what our plans are for the holidays! I know that for me I'm decorating as much as my family will allow, and then some! Why not? We all need a little joy and creativity in our lives right now.

On November 20th from 2-4 pm, we'll teach you how to make your own autumn garland for your table (two feet long) using dried flowers that we grew right here at the farm and compostable mechanics. Garlands are so fun because once you know how to make them, you won't want to stop at just your table!

In addition, we'll have fun playing around with what I have available to make our very own tablescape to enjoy while munching on snacks and wine!

You'll get to take your creation home with you, and if you love something we use for the tablescape chances are you'll be able to purchase and take that home as well (ie. locally made beeswax candles!).

We'll be mostly inside my little studio at the farm with masks on while we create, but we'll open the garage door during snack time in the end so we can spread out and take our masks off.
