November Newsletter

We are all looking forward to the excitement of preparing for the festive season!

Over the next two weeks our team here on the farm and in the studio will be making this a wonderful place to create and display all that we are offering.

On The Farm

The annual fields are being cleared, mulched with compost and the irrigation system has been winterized.

Empty rows in the fields are being filled with crates planted with ranunculus corms and tulips bulbs that will be our early spring crops.
Seeds saved from our hardy annuals like corncockle, green mist, chocolate lace flower, bupleurum and bells of Ireland are all being planted now for early summer blooms.

We are busy taking cuttings of hydrangeas, chrysanthemums, hypericum, scented geranium and more to increase our stock and variety for the farm and for sale as plants.

The dahlias are finished and we are cutting back and digging them to determine number of tubers available for our November 30th Pre-Order.

Seasonal Floral Design Workshops

Our Fall Floral Design and Wreath workshops are now posted on the website!

Join us for a wonderful afternoon working with beautiful blooms and botanicals. No experience necessary!

What's Blooming

The big crop of this season is our collection of Heirloom Chrysanthemums blooming in the field and greenhouse. We are growing a large variety that range from small spray mums (stems where we leave on all the buds to bloom) to large dramatic disbud blooms (we pinch off all the side buds to encourage one strong central flower). This crop extends our flower growing season well into November and even December! We are harvesting buckets of blooms daily for our flower studio to use in bouquets and arrangements.

Weddings & Events

2025 was a wonderful year full of weddings. Themes ranged from wispy wildflowers to rich, bold and colourful to elegant white and greens. Our wedding floral designs included bouquets and boutonnières, arch embellishments, large floral urns and more. For those wanting to do it themselves we provided buckets and buckets of blooms and greens to make their day a special one. We are already filling our calendar for 2026 and it looks to be a busy year of ahead!

If you are planning a wedding for 2026, we have wedding information packages available by email. Please contact us twylasflowerfarm@shaw.ca with your names and wedding date and we will confirm availability and send our information.
