There's something inherently magical about a flower farm—a place where nature's artistry is on full display, where every petal, stem, and leaf seems to whisper stories of beauty and tranquility. This spring term our nature group has been studying Wildflowers, and visiting a flower farm was on our list for an adventure day.
I reached out to Rechelle, owner of Freckled Bloom Flower Farm. Rechelle spent 20 years working in healthcare when she decided to pivot and delve into becoming an expert florist. She graciously agreed to host our group and educate us on growing flowers!
We arrived at the farm on a sunny Tuesday morning. We passed colorful rows of flowers and were enthusiastically greated by the farm's family dog. The students made their own soil blocks and sprinkled them with a variety of zinnia seeds. At the next station, there was a large variety of dried flowers and everyone made a beautiful bouquet to take home.
Nestled in the picturesque town of Estacada, Oregon, Freckled Bloom Flower Farm is a family farm with a cute roadside stand where you can buy glass vases full of beautiful flower arrangements.
Check out their website to see everything they offer including flower arrangements for special occaisions, a store, and a local flower podcast!
