Amanda has proven herself to be an excellent flower arranger. Her bouquets are scattered throughout the store and on the porch, adding vibrant color and life! She picks new ones every couple days and they're available to purchase so you can take some of the colorful farm meadow feeling home. She uses whatever flowers are blooming in our gardens, currently Snap Dragons, Brown-eyed Susans, and Daisies are just a few she's using! She can also arrange a bouquet at your request. We had a man in not long ago who wanted a bouquet picked to bring home to his wife. While he was browsing the store waiting for Amanda to get his bouquet together, his wife drove up to the store. As the bouquet was supposed to be a surprise, Amanda hid in the back arranging the flowers while the husband distracted his wife until she drove away. She knew he was up to something, but I wish I'd seen her expression when he presented her with the gorgeous little bouquet Amanda put together....
I, on the other hand, have proven myself to be an appalling flower arranger, so please don't ever ask me to put together a bouquet for you! The one time I tried to put together a simple little bunch of flowers Amanda had to come to my rescue and redo the scrappy clash of flowers I'd shoved into a pile. So instead of picking flowers yesterday while the store was slow, I decided to do something that requires no artistic ability.. and weeded a few of the pots in the front that had been neglected. Here's some pictures of a giant pumpkin plant I was in the process of weeding out. There is something very satisfying about ripping up weeds and clearing a swath of soil.
