Author Briana Bosch, founder of Blossom and Branch Farm, teaches the key principles for regenerative gardening in The Regenerative Gardener's Handbook: recognize the garden as its own ecosystem, know your soil, minimize the “purchased garden,” build your soil armor, plant for biodiversity, create living soil, choose plants wisely, minimize soil disturbance, and close the garden loop. In addition to teaching all the skills necessary to carry out these principles, Bosch offers a season-by-season guide to implementing them—from when to start garden cleanup in the spring (later that you’d think, to avoid disrupting overwintering beneficial insects) to how to use cover crops strategically to enrich the soil and retain moisture throughout the year.

Welcome to how flowers should be.

As a regenerative flower farm, sustainability isn't just a marketing phrase for us. It is the ethos that drives every decision we make at the farm. We focus on regenerating the soil and ecosystem at our farm for native wildlife and pollinators.

As part of our regenerative focus, our farm operates 100% seasonally and produces field-grown flowers (we don't utilize artificial light or heat to produce flowers, which add to carbon emissions). We have converted to solar energy for our operations and cooler to minimize fossil fuel reliance.

Our farm operates on a closed loop: weeds and scraps go to our chickens and sheep, who turn them into fertilizer, which we compost with our scrap flowers to apply back to our field. We focus on plastic reduction through our use of soil blocking rather than using plastic seed trays, no plastic wrapping on our flowers, and 100% compostable bouquet wraps. We focus on regenerative gardening practices, incorporating cover crops, pocket prairies, and holistic animal grazing to produce healthy soil and beautiful flowers.

carbon sequestration

Our farm operates under a permanent no-till system, helping keep atmospheric carbon that has been sequestered by plant roots in the soil. By increasing soil and microbe life, roots are better able to pull climate-effecting carbon down from the atmosphere through photosynthesis and store it in the soil. We don't use any synthetic fertilizers, chemicals, or herbicides to protect our soil life and prevent runoff of excess nutrients.

Instead, we focus on the use of cover crops and natural mulches to provide soil nutrition and weed prevention.

We also return our profits to our land, and have planted over 73 trees to date to help sequester carbon and increase transpiration. We also have focused on planting much of our flower field with native flowers, eliminating invasive plants, and incorporating pocket prairies throughout the property to foster local habitat for birds and insects.
