Fashion Month from New York to Chattanooga

July 26, 2022

Ashley here, Joli Jardin’s Social Media and PR Director (pictured above wearing the burgundy dress!) One of my most special moments working in this new role so far was experiencing Chattanooga’s fashion month. Back in June, I introduced myself in an Instagram post where I shared a little about my switch from the New York City fashion industry into a job field that aligned more with my heart’s values and desires. Throughout this blog article, you will find beautiful photos from two fashion events we…

Fall to Winter on the Farm

December 5, 2020

The passage of time this year has seemed truly impossible to track, and I know we’re not alone in that.  March seemed to drag on forever, and then once April danced by suddenly it was Halloween and then Thanksgiving, and it felt like our floral season had less of a bittersweet wind-down and more of an abrupt stop.  We took a short break for the beginning of November to let our brains and bodies hard reset in the Mexico heat to prepare for our fall…

Early Spring Flowers

March 27, 2019

This post is to run down the flowers we are able to offer at the beginning of the season. Because of our hoop-house, we are able to have blooms as early as February, and sometimes as early as January! Our first blooms to blossom are narcissus (daffodils), hellebores (lenton roses), tulips, anemones, and ranunculus. We have began our flower season by having delivery days to downtown Chattanooga and on Signal Mountain. Pictures below are what is offered.

It is roughly the same size and weight as a modern one-ton pickup truck but a much smaller turning radius. The van began life like many others at Mercedes, but went to another company called Rosenbauer just…
