🌿 The Garden Society

A Secret Society of Flower Growers, Bee Whisperers & Tenders of the Garden

Gardening will break your heart and mend it again—sometimes in the same afternoon.

One week your roses are thriving, the next they're riddled with mystery spots. You'll plant something in the perfect spot only to watch it sulk. You'll forget to water, overwater, underwater, and eventually find yourself whispering encouragements to a wilting basil plant at dusk.

The Garden Society exists for that gardener.

This isn't your grandmother's garden club (unless your grandmother was extremely cool and served rose petal lemonade). And it's definitely not a course where someone lectures at you about stem length while you fight to stay awake.

It's a year-round community with a seasonal heartbeat—part gathering, part therapy session, part place where you can admit you don't know the difference between deadheading and pinching back without anyone looking at you sideways.

Think of it as shared joy, shared panic, seasonal gifts delivered right into your hands, and an expert flower farmer you can actually reach when your dahlias start doing something weird.

How It Works

Seasonal Gatherings (Six Times a Year)

We meet six times a year on Sunday afternoons at 2 pm Midtown Bramble & Bloom, right when the garden is trying to tell you something important.

Each gathering is designed around what's happening right now—not what happened last month or what might happen eventually, but what your garden needs today. We'll talk through your wins, your "what on earth is happening here" moments, and what's coming around the bend.

There's instruction, yes—but also storytelling, troubleshooting, hands-on learning, and plenty of space for the questions you've been too embarrassed to ask anywhere else.

2026 Garden Society Dates (all Sundays):

• February 15 – Seed Starting & Getting Ready for the Season
• April 19 – Planting for Success (spacing, timing, spring care)
• June 21 – Succession Planting & Harvesting
• August 16 – Troubleshooting the Summer Garden
• October 18 – Fall Cleanup, Native Plants & Ecological Stewardship
• November 15 – Winter Sowing, Bulbs & Looking Ahead

Each gathering includes:

• Seasonal wisdom tied to what's actually happening in the dirt
• Permission to ask anything (and commiserate freely)
• Real talk from someone who's been elbow-deep in compost for decades
• A small seasonal gift—seeds, starts, or something useful and lovely that will make your inner gardener sing

Monthly Office Hours (Your "Expert on Speed Dial")

Gardens don't schedule their emergencies around class time, and neither should you.

Garden Society members get access to monthly office hours on Thursday evenings—a laid-back, drop-in space where you can ask questions, troubleshoot mysteries, or just talk through what's going on when you're feeling stuck.

Here's how it works:

• In months with a Sunday gathering, office hours happen the following Thursday
• In off-months, they're on the third Thursday
• Come every time, or only when your dahlias are staging a revolt

No appointment needed. Just show up.

Gifts, Early Access & Ongoing Connection

Membership also includes:

• Seasonal gifts at every gathering (because who doesn't love a surprise?)
• Early access to our spring and fall plant sales (before the good stuff disappears)
• A monthly Garden Society email with farm notes, timely nudges, and seasonal encouragement

The Garden Society is for flower growers at any stage—whether you've been growing for years or you're still trying to figure out which end of the tulip bulb goes up.

It's for people who want ongoing support rather than a single workshop. People who'd rather learn alongside others than alone with a stack of books. People who have questions in July that didn't occur to them in April.

It's also for anyone who finds the rhythms of the growing season grounding, who wants to be part of a community that celebrates the good weeks and troubleshoots the hard ones, and who appreciates having an experienced grower to turn to when things get confusing.

You don't need a perfect cutting garden or years of experience. Curiosity and a willingness to show up are enough.

New to Growing Cut Flowers?

If you're just starting out and want a more structured, academic introduction to cut flower gardening, our three-week crash course on growing your own cutting garden is the perfect companion to Garden Society membership. Think of the crash course as your foundation, and the Garden Society as your ongoing support system. They pair beautifully together.

Membership Dues

Annual dues keep this whole thing alive—they cover instruction, materials, seasonal gifts, and the care it takes to hold space for a community like this.

Your dues include:

• All six seasonal gatherings
• Monthly office hours
• Seasonal gifts at every gathering
• Early access to plant sales

Membership is intentionally small, so the group stays intimate and everyone gets the support they need.

Because gardens grow better when gardeners grow together.
