Flower Highlight- March

The Daffodil is for you if you are a cheerful person and you may be delighted by bright colors, baby chicks, and walking through long grass. If you’ve ever wanted to paint a room in your house yellow you may be a daffodil girl.
Dear Reader,
This week I’ve finally gotten a chance to breathe and so now I’m going to try to get back to writing weekly newsletters. Last week I submitted the first draft of my undergraduate thesis which is on the spiritual nature of food and eating. I’m very excited about it but it's taken a lot of time this semester.
I got a bit of a late start ordering seeds so I am just ordering them this week. I do have seeds from last year that have gotten started already. Last week I ordered lilies to grow for June. Last year was my first year growing them and I learned that they grow really well in bulb crates in the greenhouse.
My favorite thing that I read this week was TS Eliot’s poem The Hollow Men. It starts out with the lines:
We are the hollow men
We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
The imagery shows that men are spiritually hollow but materially stuffed like scarecrows. It’s a peculiar poem because it doesn’t follow the traditional form of poetry but rather uses fragmented sentences to convey meaning. It’s very thought-provoking and I recommend reading it.
What have you been enjoying this week? Reply to this email and let me know!
Your flower farmer,
Annika DeMaster

Hello Reader, Remember my email from last week when I announced the U-pick garden coming this summer? In this email, I’ll tell you how it works and how you can get a free bouquet. 1.Get your container at the front counter When you go to the store you can ask for a u-pick container at the front desk and punch your punch card (more on that below) or pay for the container. You can also borrow a pair of clippers to pick the flowers with. Then you take your container filled with water to the...
Hi Reader, I’ve been making bouquets for several years now and whenever I tell people what I do they always say: “Wow you’re so lucky!” And I know you aren’t thinking of weeding or the 95 degree days in July… you are imagining picking flowers in a sundress. I’m not going to lie, the best part of working with flowers is picking them in the cool morning while the sun rises. I’ve offered U-pick flower events annually, and everyone has loved them. So I have an exciting announcement to make!...
Remember me Reader? You may not even remember my name or how you signed up for my email list since I haven’t sent an email in over a year! I think the best thing is to reintroduce myself, explain where I’ve been and then you can decide if you’d like to keep hearing from me or not. I’m Annika DeMaster of Willow Haven Flowers which I started in 2019 as a summer job to make some money for my college education. I spent five summers growing flowers, making bouquets and running a business. I had a...
