Garden Roses - I planted nearly 30 roses bushes in the spring of 2022.

And it wasn’t just a couple of seedlings either! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1611155656571-H6129NM1E7IJGKOC1YLN/garden Blog - Lessons from the garden - Sweet Annie was infiltrating the entire end of the ranunculus row, perfectly down wind of where it was planted in 2019! In the bare soil that would’ve otherwise been covered! I left several clumps to grow out right where they were! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1604273308985-U30CWBKPFL8X49K3DIEY/farmhouse+and+garden Blog - Lessons from the garden - Another stand-out lesson came compliments of a few cut corners. Once the ranunculus were finally in the ground, I installed a small hoop structure over the row to protect them from the elements. I also hoped the plastic would provide extra warmth to encourage them to bloom earlier — perhaps getting them back on schedule. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1611168146029-9EPM8H6QYHZ1LOT4N34N/blue+sky+with+puffy+white+clouds+and+a+windmill Blog - Lessons from the garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1611165508700-Q638U59F8XHAK6GSH77L/garden Blog - Lessons from the garden - So I converted two beds to veggie production - my own Victory Garden. And I left another two rows completely open & bare. I was at less than half the previous year’s production, which meant less work seeding and planting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1611164208574-KIJYMQ3Z6KFCISTAIBIK/red+and+orange+tulips Blog - Lessons from the garden - Fortunately spring arrived in earnest along with all of the good intentions that I did manage to grow. I shared pictures of every cutting, no matter how meager. Folks were as hungry as ever - now that they were literally stuck in their homes all day. They craved the beauty and the everyday normalcy that flowers have in spades. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1611162411770-RD6VA6BUYS9OCFK8A30C/big+stack+of+flower+bouquets Blog - Lessons from the garden - And before I really knew it, my flower subscriptions were taking off. The spring share offering went lightening fast, and deliveries took a few hours each week! Most weeks I had to cut every single stem to keep up with the subscriptions, along with the one-off bouquets I also sporadically offered. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1611168538445-100TP2OPWW1ZUMGUAHJW/two+greyhounds+kissing Blog - Lessons from the garden - Although I didn’t like to miss the market, it sure was nice to have very little waste and to enjoy a few Saturday mornings at home with Mike and the dogs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1611166535020-CTYEWTOR1NF9CDWL9XP3/double+rainbow Blog - Lessons from the garden https://www.gholsongardens.com/blog/pledges-promises monthly 0.5 2021-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1605280620148-TKY9R00BXNY74PSRUPX1/IMG_0074+2.JPG Blog - pledges & promises, delivered - flower bouquet in kraft paper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1605280622534-YFA9MP13MGE39I78FYJF/7452C107-05AC-439B-A9BA-DA0AEF265267.JPG Blog - pledges & promises, delivered - pink and green flower blossoms https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1605280636135-1WWQ74QC2EO0Z1AAXXCP/IMG_0778.JPG Blog - pledges & promises, delivered - flower bouquet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1605280649790-K8QG3ZTU2VMX4RQ381G7/IMG_1024.JPG Blog - pledges & promises, delivered - flower arrangement next to candle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1605280663267-1DO2H88E00YHYZM8FHIU/IMG_1493.JPG Blog - pledges & promises, delivered - flowers growing in the garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1605280683293-D0HAI384MRVGV3IFA0SM/IMG_2554.JPG Blog - pledges & promises, delivered - flower arrangement in a vase https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1605280727799-3EGF0K5Z81Q5RWYFRZV5/IMG_3807.JPG Blog - pledges & promises, delivered - soft pink flower bouquet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1605280745900-XUG0JM8ARJ9QDST3RD1L/IMG_0622.JPG Blog - pledges & promises, delivered - sunflower https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1605283752538-ISXEOTMM240V8GX2L9Q7/IMG_1092.JPG Blog - pledges & promises, delivered - dainty white and purple flowers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1605283763167-FZ1AY8ZAK1SF532QR5IE/IMG_0775.JPG Blog - pledges & promises, delivered - dahlia flower arrangement on a table https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1605283779218-WYQ3377O64VTUQ6926JI/IMG_0941+2.JPG Blog - pledges & promises, delivered - bucket of vibrant pink flowers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1605283792332-K9FDFIHSV1ON5H4XSGLU/IMG_1080.JPG Blog - pledges & promises, delivered - flower arrangement on a table https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1605283805586-VES4PP0SJ2FQ0G3WFXZ3/IMG_2916+2.JPG Blog - pledges & promises, delivered - ruffly pink and white flower bouquet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1605283814620-SDAVL8NYNQGRZY4O2AWE/IMG_4086.JPG Blog - pledges & promises, delivered - lisianthus flowers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1605283825421-HDYBM2YJGSJ9OUCTEB6B/IMG_5034.JPG Blog - pledges & promises, delivered - big pink petal flower bouquet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1605283848879-3VUWSNIZKMT3L00INL3E/IMG_6692.JPG Blog - pledges & promises, delivered - green and pink flower bouquet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1605284275780-DUIRHAIGRK5S3FN5JOXT/IMG_5944.JPG Blog - pledges & promises, delivered - selfie with a bucket of flowers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1605284298564-D3UBBNZEKT3JKZTO57R5/IMG_1257.JPG Blog - pledges & promises, delivered - up close flower bouquet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1605284314950-YQTHB123SABG5945HIOI/IMG_1677.JPG Blog - pledges & promises, delivered - lush pink and yellow flowers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1605284349360-MCLU97393QPUOL62QK03/IMG_6023.JPG Blog - pledges & promises, delivered - peach and green flower bouquet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1605285760728-540S25LZU8ZN2GB1ZXYH/tall+vase+of+flowers+in+front+of+an+old+door Blog - pledges & promises, delivered - Each porch and every stoop was as individual as the bouquet I left beside it.

Calendula comes in a variety of colors, with the majority being in the orange and yellow shades. What I love about calendula is that it is a hardy annual - meaning it can tolerate a little frost. So for those of you like me, who get antsy to start the garden, these can be started inside quite early and transplanted before the last spring frost. They’re also highly prolific - the more you cut on them, the more they produce. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1578410637876-T2VH3DV1S8HLEG7I1YTJ/red+and+orange+dried+flower+bouquets Blog - Backyard cutting garden - Strawflower (Xerochrysum bracteatum) Another hardy annual with a large variety of colors available. Strawflower plants get big and although they take a tiny bit longer to bloom, they are also a heavy producer. What I love best about this flower is that it is perfectly suited to drying. So you can enjoy it in the vase, then you can dry it and enjoy it in the winter. And who doesn’t love a good twofer?! This image is of dried strawflowers - don’t they look incredible for actually being dead?! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1578411182517-UB3YSO1BGQV51Q8KZU0Z/pink+and+green+flower+petals Blog - Backyard cutting garden - Zinnia (Zinnia elegans) Don’t underestimate this very basic bloom - it is the perfect variety to ‘cut your teeth’ on. You have to wait until danger of frost is gone and the soil temps are reliably in the mid 50’s before planting them out, but once you do, zinnias truly become the garden workhorse. The more you harvest, the more they produce. While there are new varieties being breed seemingly every year, I'd go with a tried & true type like Benery’s Giant for the most reliable & fulfilling results. Everyone loves a zinnia - and once you’ve grown them (especially from seed), you’ll surely be hooked! The variety shown here is Queen Lime Blush. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1578410728085-OP5YY554E5MFVU6YLQDH/red+striped+flower Blog - Backyard cutting garden - Cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus) The quintessential cottage garden favorite, cosmos are available in a host of colors and textures. From flat petals, to scoop or spoon-looking tips, to ruffly peony type petals, cosmos are also super easy to grow from seed. Just like zinnias they aren’t hardy, so you have to really wait until all danger of frost has passed, but they go gangbusters in the heat. I use cosmos for both their foliage and their blooms. They can get quite bushy, though. I’ve hacked them back pretty far, and yet they come springing back with more profuse blooms. You really can’t go wrong with cosmos. https://www.gholsongardens.com/blog/spring-blooms monthly 0.5 2021-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1578588642436-2VMTV62V2E22KO8O9H8H/old+red+farm+building+with+tulips Blog -

Hi! I’m Elaine Vandiver. I grow specialty cut flowers on my historic homestead in Walla Walla, Washington. I am a seasonal grower - this means that I do not have flowers year round — only when they’re blooming here in the valley. When the garden is at rest for the winter, so am I. My signature bouquets are available via my weekly subscription delivery service. You can also find me slingin’ deluxe mixed bouquets at the Downtown Walla Walla farmer’s market most Saturdays from May through October. Just look for me inside my adorable flower cart. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/c34f72ba-d225-43f1-a273-9be00689b39c/flower-cart.jpg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1578413260895-46T56NP1R9FSD1A4EFHM/1472969_10151852935933940_634799510_n.jpg Home My name is Elaine, and together with my husband, Mike, we purchased our 10-acre property in late 2013 as a way to start anew after learning a traditional family wasn’t in the cards for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1578412473275-ZQAGFHAWNJJSRCEQ43VW/old+barn+in+walla+walla Home For me in particular, in order to move forward I needed to move away from the subdivision filled with growing families - reminding me of the dreams that were not meant for us. Ten acres seemed sufficient. It had a big old red barn that reminded me of the ones I saw growing up in Indiana. Plus it had a handful of outbuildings. And of course the farmhouse. A two-story folk victorian number, with a wrap around porch. The whole place had charm, potential and good bones. If you could look past the peeling paint & tatters of time. In other words, it was a lot like us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1578412495371-KYN1DAAZHQ134QHPVGFA/llamas Home The seller told us that it was “an old homestead” and that “those two llama come with the place”. As city kids, we were unfamiliar with both homesteads and llamas. But we were in a place in life where we weren’t going to question things. And after 7 years infertility treatments, I also wasn’t in a place where I was going to force anything anymore. So a homestead with llamas it was. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1578413431509-LO8MQUTPHK4S7DZBYO0D/PresidentGrant.png Home In the late evenings, we would often look over those old homestead documents. They outlined how a man from Iowa named Nathaniel S. Gholson spent five years from 1870 - 1875 settling & improving the land in order to own it. It was impressive to read, and fitting to learn of the heritage while we worked tirelessly renovating the farmhouse. The parts of the home we were rejuvenating were the newer parts added mid-century when the house got indoor plumbing and heating. All the old bits, like the wood walls (no lathe & plaster) have saw marks from its originally milling (likely done onsite) and average 2 inches thick in most places. The original pine floors, once refinished, confirmed they were built for this specific house as each plank ran the entire span of each room. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1578413620370-D9VAIQNQ65C9FLNCN8RA/IMG_1544.jpg Home The first spring arrived, where the once sad looking pastures sprang to life. And those two raggedy llama (LeRoi & Loretta) could not keep up with them. They grew into a glorious sea of green. But with all our resources tied into farmhouse renovations, we couldn’t exactly get a tractor. So naturally, we got the next best thing: alpaca. You know . . . the cute, smaller, softer version of llamas. They were supposed to be nothing more than cute little lawnmowers. And they were. But it sorta took a whole gaggle of them to keep up with the grass. And then they needed to be shorn. And that pile of raw fleece had to go somewhere. Ultimately, I started having it professionally spun into yarn . . . and then launched our farm business, Old Homestead Alpacas, which now has a line of knitwear made exclusively of their fiber & manufactured entirely in the USA. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1578412738498-CNP349629QB667IHGX2M/OHA+dyed+yarns+at+Purl2+Main+St.JPG Home But with a herd of white, brown and black alpaca, I craved more vibrant colors. The vast majority of dyes available were acid-based and had somewhat scary handling & disposal requirements. I didn’t like the idea of putting acid on the ultra soft, extra fine fiber. And I certainly didn’t like the idea of disposing of it in our septic system which ultimately returns to the land. That’s how I learned about natural dyeing - using plant based dyes. I descended quickly into the beautiful rabbit hole of heirloom plants & flowers that produce light & color-fast dyes. I had an old paddock alongside the farmhouse that wasn’t being used. So I bought seed for marigold, coreopsis, dyer’s chamomile, sulfur cosmos and madder root and called it a garden. I was growing the fiber and the dye stuff. And I was selling yarn and machine knit garments - all using our herd’s fiber. It was fantastic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1578412876638-LR37GNPR2TDQ89ZRTCL4/1-10.JPG Home But I was a 5 o’clock farmer. Both Mike and I had day jobs to pay the mortgage and bankroll the renovations. By the 4th year having the farm and the little business, it was getting harder & harder to go to a cubicle every day. Leaving the herd and this little slice of heaven everyday was not easy. If only I could do this full time . . . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1578417343744-VHLS4NE0GKBKP2M9J1PS/IMG_7966.JPG Home But the reality of fiber farming is that it is inherently a long-lead process. Our herd takes a full year to grow the fiber. After it is shorn each year, it takes about another 8 months to get it spun at an artisan fiber mill. Then I need a few months to hand dye the yarn and garments. On average, that means it takes 2 years to bring one fiber harvest to market. That’s a long time to leverage, considering there are costs all along the way. It seemed nearly impossible to ever leave the day job with a plan like that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1578412946477-YRATI8TAP9XUOGU3T7GT/IMG_8369.JPG Home So one spring while starting seeds in my greenhouse, I had an idea. What if I just start selling some flowers? After all, I was already growing dye flowers - why not try a few varieties for cutting? An annual crop with a comparatively lower price point seemed like a good fit. So in the summer of 2017, I grew 100 row feet of zinnia, cosmos, sunflowers and celosia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1578417491436-3R6T6LVA8IMG55TG6D7N/GholsonGardens2018+first+flowers.jpg Home I mostly watched them grow & brought them in the house for my own enjoyment. As the summer went on, the more I cut, the more they produced. So I started to take some into the office. I put a vase on my desk. Then I added another one by the printer so everyone could enjoy. I dabbled in ‘arranging’ by making posey bouquets for the ladies room - and those were always a big hit. Growing cut flowers alongside the alpacas was simply beautiful and it taught me so much. It slowed me down, but also put more purpose in each step. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1578417651497-1NP6TY9W5XL4AWVVJQ86/1ggg.jpg Home At the beginning of 2018, I got the nerve up and asked my boss if I could switch from full time to part time. Surprisingly, she said yes, and the schedule change allowed me to tend to the garden, cut flowers during the weekday mornings so I could ultimately attend the Saturday farmer’s market. That first year at market was my bravest year (currently) on record. Using a truck-bed trailer that Mike and I fashioned to become a flower cart - I toted it to market and set up next to real farmers. I named the operation Gholson Gardens, paying homage to the original homestead family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1578413038669-W6HJCHCSWHNLO4E6H2MN/GholsonGardens1.jpeg Home I sold more bouquets in 2018 than I ever thought I could even grow! Towards the end of market season, I was hesitant to introduce some of my alpaca goods alongside the flowers fearing it would be ‘too weird’ from a branding perspective and/or people just ‘wouldn’t get it’. Turns out it wasn’t weird and people definitely got it! In fact, I sold more yarn & knitwear in the last month of the market than I had over the last 3 years combined! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1578413142860-YUOZ0P4TJKSU58CU02C5/elaine_mike_117.jpg Home It’s a beautiful rhythm. It has made me not only appreciate seasonality, but embrace it wholeheartedly. Everyday I’m filled with gratitude for a life that has sprung from such heartache. I endeavor to approach all my days with the same honest receptivity that lead me here in the first place. And since leaving the day job entirely in the spring of 2019, I am grateful at the opportunity to be dedicating all of my days to building our own version of a family & legacy right here on the homestead. https://www.gholsongardens.com/visit daily 0.75 2025-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/d5435d75-847a-4546-9b02-380b99d34971/flowehappyhour4.jpg Visit A person with a yellow backpack standing in a garden with rows of colorful flowers, under a clear blue sky in Walla Walla https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/43d4c252-fa56-4ae5-a034-93fb4f9e6b52/flowehappyhour.jpg Visit Field of orange and pink zinnias with green foliage under clear blue sky and a windmill in the background. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/ad073f41-3e3a-4947-a35a-a48364c911f0/flowehappyhour2.jpg Visit Person walking through a flower garden with sunflowers and other colorful blooms under a clear blue sky; a small greenhouse is visible in the background. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/4dba76a8-df0b-45e2-863d-5fa4427bc7d3/IMG_3879+3.JPG Visit Bouquet of multicolored zinnia flowers against a red wooden background. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/3a5ec2dd-5fd4-481a-9f06-532df1f414f9/flowehappyhour3.jpg Visit Person arranging colorful flowers in glass vases on a table under a tent, with a garden in the background. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/9452d06e-2224-457c-812e-1a455ecacc79/IMG_5162+2.JPG Visit A bouquet of zinnia flowers in various colors including pink, yellow, and orange in a glass vase on a wooden surface. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/b0834a3e-e0eb-49ba-8892-0f1deedaa7e1/flower-happy-hour+copy.jpeg Visit People arranging flowers at an outdoor workshop with colorful bouquets on a wooden table. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/2a34daf7-30a4-4d4e-93b5-434407980355/flower-happy-hour2.jpeg Visit Women at a floral arrangement workshop under a tent, wearing flower crowns and surrounded by vases of colorful flowers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/e52aef28-58b3-47f4-b489-e1c72ebf5c8c/IMG_0412+3.JPG https://www.gholsongardens.com/shop daily 1.0 2026-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0b6ab6317b09689f16d5c8/1609958324250-4JVS7JN0KI3NMU1BROBJ/IMG_0074.JPG Shop Bouquet of colorful flowers in brown paper with a card from Gholson Gardens, Walla Walla.
