A microfarm in the suburbs
Look for the pink house on SW Murdock. There is a bench out front with that morning's flowers on it, cut from the rows behind the house.

Floral Box Workshop · Sunday, September 6
Come spend the prettiest hour of the day in the garden. You will wander the rows as the light goes soft and gold, hand-select your favorite blooms, and build your own floral box to take home.
Early September is peak dahlia and zinnia season here, and the beds are at their most generous. No experience needed. If you have never made an arrangement in your life, this is the loveliest possible place to start.
Whether you are coming with friends, celebrating an occasion, or just giving yourself two quiet hours among the flowers, this is an evening made for slowing down.
Small on purpose, so everyone gets a hand at the table.
A note on the event: This is a working flower farm, so we cut what the garden is giving us that week. The garden sets the menu, and the weather sets the tone. The terrain is uneven, so please wear long sleeves, pants and closed-toe shoes, and dress for the weather. If it rains, we have a covered work space, and the experience will be all the more memorable. All guests must complete a short liability waiver before the event. We will send the link with your confirmation.
The season ahead
We run small workshops through the season, and the garden decides most of the schedule. Dates go up here and on Instagram first.
Cut your own dahlias and zinnias as the light goes gold, then build a floral box at the worktable and take it home.
A pumpkin hollowed out like a jack o lantern, with no face cut into it. The pumpkin becomes the vase, and you build the arrangement down inside it with dahlias and whatever else October is giving.
Come make the wreath that goes on your own door. You start with fresh cut greens and decorate it yourself, ribbon and all.

Our story
Michael's grandparents have grown flowers on this property since before he was born. Daffodils, roses, tulips. In 2023 Brenda had the idea to turn it into a flower farm, and we started adding peonies, dahlias and zinnias to what was already here.
Drive past and you would never suspect there is a flower farm behind the house. That is the secret in Secret Garden Society.
Latino woman owned. We speak Spanish and English. Hablamos español.
The Flower Bench
Before there were workshops or memberships, there was a bench on the side of the road in front of the house, with buckets on it and whatever had been cut that morning.
The bench is still out there, and it is still the easiest way to take something home. Look for the pink house on SW Murdock.

Why local matters
Most cut flowers sold in the United States have been on a plane. Ours have been on a wheelbarrow.

Ours are grown in the ground out back and cut the evening before you get them.
That is the whole difference, and you can smell it.
