One of the questions we receive most during this time of year is “What does a flower farm do during the winter?” or something like “I’m sure you all aren’t as busy without the flowers popping up!” We are always so incredibly appreciative of the interest around our flower farm. Sharing our biggest passion with all of you excites us every day. Having a community that not only cares about investing in sustainable flowers but takes interest in what goes on behind the scenes to…
Happy 6th birthday to Joli Jardin Farm!!! No matter the season, its beauty brings us incomparable joy. Creating a farm that is biodiverse and planting flowers sustainably isn’t always easy by any means but is most certainly always worth it when the process proves itself beautiful over and over again. For all of you, our sincerest gratitude every day but especially today… Thank you for caring about our farm and supporting ethically grown flowers. We’d love to take you along our reflection over the past…
Summer time on the farm is a mixed bag. On one hand, it’s magical. Baby animals are growing, flowers are putting on a beautiful show, and everything looks lush and green. On the other hand, work days begin at 6 or 7AM because the heat by 11AM is almost unbearable. Since mid-June, we have been hit with heat advisory after heat advisory. It makes work tough! We want to invite you into the not so pretty behind the scenes moments on the farm because it…
Hello Chattanooga and beyond! I can not believe it’s the end of the year! We are busy with wreath making, dahlia digging, tulip planting, seeding trays, participating in holiday markets, and much more. We are so thankful for everyone’s support this year. I have compiled a gift guide of beautiful items available in our shop. Our shop is full of flowers, gifts from local makers and gift items from other small businesses all across the world. We truly believe in shopping small and we are…
Undoubtedly, October is one of my favorite times of the year in Chattanooga. I adore Halloween. It also starts cooling off, the leaves start changing colors, and the dahlias explode to life! It’s been such a treat to be in our new shop and we knew we wanted to do a big floral piece just for this special time. We created a fun event for it at the shop and invited anyone who wanted to participate. We drank wine, snacked, and built a spooky floral…
We were so excited to host our first workshop in our new flower shop on Market Street. We invited Saree Silverman, a sculpture artist and floral designer, to host an ‘Intuitive Floral Design’ class this past Saturday. It was an amazing experience and we are so grateful to be able to offer educational experiences in this space. In the future, we plan on hosting more design workshops, seed starting and other gardening skills, kids workshops and more. Follow us on Instagram or Facebook to learn…
Since we have had such great feedback from our wonderful clients and customers in Chattanooga for our first brick and mortar space, we have decided to open up a permanent location on 1263 Market St. This shop will be a showcase of our flower shop dreams. It will be a European styled flower market with vintage touches and an old world charm. We have an old historic space with beautiful exposed brick. In addition to a wide selection of flowers available by the stem, we…

Goodbye 2020, Hello 2021! Last year was tough and I am pretty happy it’s a brand new year. I wanted to go back and try to pick our some of my favorite moments from 2020. 1. We built a no-contact farm stand in a weekend (just Andrew and myself) when the pandemic first hit and quarantine was in effect. And it worked! We are in awe of the amount of support we received from our community. On many of the days it would completely sell…
We had the privilege of working with some outstanding vendors a couple of months ago on this beautiful styled shoot at Howe Farms We wanted the florals to come off as a bit wildflower and garden designed. We incorporated lavender, cosmos, lisianthus, dara, dahlias, strawflower, and more. We loved the soft and romantic look this created. If you look below, you can see some of the reception details. We have a beautiful floral chandelier that we use for wedding styling (and is available to rent)…
