Last weekend, I had the honor of lending a hand at Worlds End, the beautiful flower farm supporting my local flower shop, Saipua. The farm was bought recently so that Saipua could grow and harvest some of the more interesting, unconventional and native varietals that were no longer being offered at the NYC flower mart.
Taking matters into their own hands, Saipua began cultivating the land 18 months ago, and it’s finally at a state where they’re ready to sow a few seeds (talk about slow flowers!). So, I paid them a visit to help out and support their very exciting project. In exchange for our labor, all the visitors got an impromptu flower-arranging demo and a lovely meal, peppered with goodies picked directly from the land. A rewarding day, indeed.
The natural beauty was beyond inspiring and it was so refreshing to experience how accomplished you could feel without Wi-Fi. Check out a few snapshots from my day flower farming, below.
