The Lovely Acre
We know you're wondering "When will they be ready?" but.....
Sorry, no mums this year :(
We had deer visit and give all of our mums a VERY unnecessary pinching in the very beginning of our growing season. This was closely followed by excessive rain throughout July which prevented us from fertilizing. The deer activity also encouraged some tasty new growth that brought out this guy --->.
If they would have had a little time to mature, the groundhog would have likely left them alone. Instead, it made for the finest groundhog-friendly buffet in north Alabama. Unfortunately, they will not have the time they need to grow anymore and this crop is toast.
We are so sorry that we'll miss seeing everyone this year, but STAY TUNED! More to come soon!

OUR STORY
Nothing but love.
We started our business in 2020. We wanted to grow chrysanthemums to decorate our wedding and act as wedding favors. We had always been avid gardeners and drawn to agriculture for work and play, but we still weren't sure what we were getting into. We learned fast and became an ADAI certified nursery. Then began by growing a crop of 800 mums. After the wedding we couldn't give it up. We fell in love with growing mums, vegetable starts, and herbs. We grow a variety of plants now, but we still hold the mums close to the heart.
