🌼 Seasonal Garden Update

2026 Season: This year's Bee & Bloom Garden looks a little different than we had hoped. An exceptionally dry Nebraska summer has meant fewer blooms than usual, so we won't be offering U-Pick flowers this season. The good news? The bees are still finding plenty to forage throughout the farm, and we're already dreaming about next year's garden.

Welcome to one of my favorite places on the farm.

This garden was planted with one purpose—to feed pollinators. Every flower you see was chosen because it offers nectar or pollen to honeybees, native bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and countless other tiny visitors that help keep our world blooming.

But if I'm being honest... it's become one of my favorite places to simply slow down.

Pull up a chair, listen to the bees working nearby, and enjoy the show. There's always something happening here if you stand still long enough.

No two visits are ever quite the same.

Every few weeks the garden changes as new flowers begin blooming while others quietly fade away. And every growing season tells a different story. Some summers Nebraska blesses us with gentle rains and overflowing flower beds. Other years we battle scorching heat and drought. Farming has a wonderful way of reminding us that we're never really in control—and maybe that's part of the beauty.

Throughout the growing season we occasionally open the garden for scheduled U-Pick flower days. If you're hoping to take home a bouquet, keep an eye on our social media or newsletter to see what's blooming.

From Kathy's Garden Journal

"Every winter I sit down with seed catalogs and imagine what this garden might become. By summer, Mother Nature usually has a few ideas of her own. I've learned to stop chasing perfection and simply enjoy each season for what it is. Somehow the bees always seem to know exactly what they're doing—even when I don't."
