To Market - The Gathering Place
I am pleased to announce that I am now offering garden bouquets at The Gathering Place (115 S Crockett Seguin, TX.) I haven't nailed down a schedule for delivery yet, but I will be bringing them there on a regular basis when I figure out how often I should do so. The Gathering Place is a truly awesome place that is like an indoor farmers market open all week. Makers from the surrounding area bring their beautifully grown and handcrafted items to put on offer for the commun

I will be at the Castell Street Market on May 23 (205 S Castell).

I am going to really push out the boat this weekend and go to two different markets. On Saturday you will find me at the Castell Street Market ( 205 S Castell Ave , New Braunfels, TX 78130) from 9-1. I will have a couple of interesting new things -- some new jam jar bouquets that can sit on the table and be beautiful and afterwords can be dried or rooted. I will also be bringing a "garden in a bucket" demonstration garden. On Sunday I will be at the Pint and Plants Swap/

To Market - Castell Street Market 4/4/2026
I was invited to be a part of the Castell Street Market this weekend in New Braunfels and it was fantastic, though a little rainy and thundery at the end. It was a last minute invite so I had some rushing to do to get everything ready for my very first market with Handpicked Heirlooms. I am so grateful to Patrick and Misty at local flower farm, Misty Acres Flower Farm in Seguin, for helping me out with some beautiful last minute blooms, and to my guys (my sons and husband)
