Our story

Three Blooms Flower Farm was established in 2017 by me, Kelly Burdette. I’m married to Seth Burdette and we have two children; twins, Noah and Nora. The idea for flower farming all began with some beautiful pictures online of a flower farm in Washington called Floret. Her story felt familiar and a dream began to take shape. I purchased a book called “The Flower Farmer: An Organic Grower's Guide to Raising and Selling Cut Flowers.” by Lynn Byczynski. After reading the book cover to cover I developed a garden plan and ordered some flower seeds. My first year of flower farming we lived in a rental home as we built a new home on the family farm. With no permanent growing space, I planted some annual flowers in our patio garden and some over in my Dad’s garden on the family farm, about 800sq ft total. I quickly discovered farming, harvesting, and selling a crop is hard work! I grew up on the family farm gardening, raising animals, and showing animals for 4H but flower farming was a whole new world to me.

Year 2 was a very hard year. I lost my father on December 1, 2017. We finished building our house on the back of family farm and moved in. I re-considered if I even wanted to continue the flower farm. Eventually I decided to continue forward, to till and grow in the same earth my father, grandfather, and great-grandfather had. We planted around 1/4 acre in annual flowers. Later in the season I started another field close to our house called the Hilltop. The Hilltop is a perennial garden also around 1/4 acre in size.

Year 3 we increased the flower field to 1/2 acre and moved more towards commercial growing practices. We installed drip irrigation and used plastic mulch to control weeds. My mother was remarried and I was able to provide and design all the flowers for her wedding. I took an online flower farming course by Lisa Mason Zigler(https://www.thegardenersworkshop.com/) which was wonderful and I highly recommend her courses and products. It was a great year of growth and learning for me and the farm. Follow along under the blog tab for more of our story and gardening tips and tricks.
