FLOWER FARM
bloom calendar
my seasonal flower guide
The bloom calendar indicates what might be flowering that month. I’m at the whim of Nature as to what specifically blooms at any given time.
Flowers begin blooming in March and go dormant at the end of November, with less production during the summer (hence the summer break).

GARDEN GROWN BLOOMS
for
EVERY OCCASION
Longview Cottage is a flower farm & design studio in Birmingham, Alabama. I harmonize with nature, not chemicals, to grow and arrange seasonal floral arrangements. I focus on fragrant, heirloom, and unique luxury flowers at our urban micro farm.
I seek respite from the daily grind and am inspired by the past to be grounded in the present. Taking a nod from whimsical English cottage gardens, as well as mono no aware and memento mori philosophies – I weave each stem into layered, textural art that looks dreamy and smells divine. Whether it’s a bouquet to mark a special moment, a bundle of blooms for a celebration, or a class to connect with nature and your creative side, I have garden grown blooms for every occasion.
