For many years, Triple Wren Farms sold tens of thousands of cut dahlia stems each season. In those days, our summer and early fall rhythm was built around harvest mornings, buckets of cold water, bunching stations, cooler space, wholesale orders, grocery deliveries,...
We're super excited to announce that Triple Wren Farms has officially expanded into Canada! This year, Steve and Sarah are beginning to build what we hope will become a truly beautiful, thriving Canadian flower business that will eventually bring all our amazing...
Figuring out why you garden is the key to finding fulfillment in gardening Do you have a WHY for deciding WHAT you'll grow in your garden this year? I feel like in our culture, we hear a lot of talk about finding a vision or clarifying mission statements for...
Cherry Caramel Phlox Snow Puff Cosmos In our Garden Planning for Success series I’ve mentioned the term “succession planting,” and today I’d like to give a simple example or two of how this type of planting/planning can work. Remember, the Big Goal we’re working...
It’s Garden Planning time! If you are ready for an epic battle with the elements of the earth, to fight for lush, pure beauty, to dig deep into your grittiest places to find the strength and endurance for marathon seasons of work and creativity, if you have a strong...
Sarah holding Bloomquist Morris dahlias. Since we’re sliding into a busy weekend, I’d like to tell you a bit of our history before I fully dive into the topic of planning for success in your garden.I started Triple Wren in 2012, by double-digging several 100’ x 4’...
Linda's Baby, Sweet Nathalie, and Rebecca Lynn Dahlias Ok friends, I’m busting out a series of posts over the next few days about how we “Plan for Success” here at Triple Wren. Yesterday I talked about a healthy definition for success and The Comparison Games...
Today I’m soaking ranunculus… because I want them to bloom in late spring and early summer. I am not starting seeds for our fields in earnest quite yet, because I want Triple Wren’s fields to look bountiful… in August and September. Since we have chosen to focus on...
I’m a driven, goal-oriented, spreadsheet-loving, list-writing person. I show up to work with a plan of action every day.But sometimes when the job at hand is big and I have too many big tasks on my plate (hello, farm life!), it can be hard to motivate myself to start...
Earlier this month Steve and I zipped down to Santa Cruz to pick fresh lemons, gaze at the ocean for five minutes, feel the sun on our skin, and most importantly to meet Kristine Albrecht, of Santa Cruz Dahlias, and her lovely, supportive family and crew. It was...
As our farm business plans expand and morph, I can see them reflected in our flower fields. They’re a beautiful echo of the direction we’re headed. And isn’t this a familiar echo?! We often set out with our best-laid plans, but desires, abilities, resources, markets,...
Yesterday’s glorious sunshine gave way to buckets of PNW rain... so I’m showing you my warmest, most romantic “Honey Dijon” roses today to warm your heart! It may have been yucky outdoors, but our crew was snuggled in the barn dividing tubers all day! We’re meeting...
Last week I wrote more about my personal journey in planning for business success. Taking big projects, breaking them down into manageable pieces, and then planning the details for how to make it all happen is one of my favorite things in the world. I joke that...
Sometimes when the job at hand is too big, it’s hard for me to even start chipping away at it. However, if I break it down into sections, or “bite-sized” pieces, it’s way more manageable. This is not a novel concept: we cut up our food instead of trying to eat a whole...
When planning, I always begin with my goal and work backward: Start big, work small. First we set the goal(s) - cast the vision. Then we sort out the details that make the magic happen. When working on our annual Flower Farm Business Plan, I break up each “arm” of...
I have serious questions for this New Year. Will we gather? Will we prosper? Will we buy or sell or go or come?? There are so many unknowns, which makes long-range planning dicey and keeps a sharp edge on my faith. But there are also so many *knowns,* and decisions we...
