Building the Legacy Beds: A Labor of Love

April 28, 2026

More Than Just Flower Beds

At the center of our farm, you'll find the Legacy Beds — dedicated growing spaces that hold a special place in our hearts.

These beds are where our special-needs son works alongside us, learning the rhythms of growing: planting seeds, pulling weeds, harvesting stems, and bunching bouquets.

Small Steps, Big Moments

Every flower he cuts, every bouquet he wraps, every smile from a customer — these are the moments that make farming worthwhile. The Legacy Beds aren't just about growing flowers. They're about growing confidence, independence, and joy.

What's Growing in the Legacy Beds

We keep these beds planted with his favorites:

  • Zinnias (easy to grow, impossible not to love)
  • Sunflowers (his absolute favorite)
  • Cosmos (they grow fast and bloom endlessly)

Every Saturday morning, he's out there checking on "his" flowers, and honestly, it's the best part of our week.
