Flower Farm

Growing flowers has been a dream for years, and during the “slowdown” of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were able to literally lay the groundwork and make it happen. Thanks to hundreds of hours of hard work on part of family and Rosehip staff, out little farm of about a half an acre got off the ground. Set in Rockland County, New York, we have been able to grow perennials, blooming trees and shrubs and fabulously colored foliage to supplement our events and shop. Varieties include dahlias, cosmos, zinnias, castor beans, strawflower, snap dragons, cocksomb celosia, amaranth, Queen Anne’s lace, and much more.

Starting in late winter we begin with our seeds, which are soured from past year blooms, as well as local and distant seed farms and small Etsy seed sellers. It’s tough to narrow down our selection from hundreds of options!

After tending to the seeds for a few months they are ready to harden off and be planted outside in mid-May. Our dahlia tubers also go in at this time along with gladiolas. And then we wait! We can’t wait to see the true potential in years to come.
