Galena Berkompas • Urban Flower Farm • Education on Instagram: "January is full of mundane tasks for the most part: a lot of tuber sorting for our tuber sale, which is made more interesting by as many podcasts as possible. The ones that have got my interest the most are all the ones I can find on hybridizing. Such a wealth of knowledge from people who have made this their life’s work, and I’ve gained even more respect for the years of labor that go into isolating certain traits and creating bett

Galena Berkompas • Urban Flower Farm • Education on Instagram: "One of the best decisions I made in my life was one year I decided I was going to tear up some grass and grow some flowers. Zero regrets! It quickly turned into a farm, and here I am, years later loving every second! But ever since I planted those first seeds, a huge passion and obsession has just been creating gardens and gardens full of cut flowers that aren’t planted in long straight rows. Is it less efficient? Sure. But even tho

Galena Berkompas • Urban Flower Farm • Education on Instagram: "Quite a few people were surprised I start cutting down the field before the flowers are truly dead, but honestly there’s a really good reason for it. For the most part, growing dahlias for pleasure is easy to do. A couple climates make it more challenging, but for most it’s simple. You don’t even need to divide them down to single tubers. You can just take a clump and split it in half and replant those. Often you can also leave them

If you live in zones 7 and up, you can presprout your ranunculus now for weeks of gorgeous spring flowers.. If you’re in a different zone, save this info for February or March!

Galena Berkompas • Urban Flower Farm • Education on Instagram: "Edit: After confirming with others, this dahlia actually is Glenmarc Connie and was saddled with the wrong name for awhile. This one definitely is my favorite lavender/purple dahlia by FAR! It leans more purple in early season, and then at the end turns more lavender with a slight pink undertone. Glenmarc Connie originated in Australia and is a really solid 4 ft plant, that is extremely prolific with its flowers. I love it so much,

Galena Berkompas • Urban Flower Farm • Education on Instagram: "Funny story: I had actually gotten rid of almost all my collarette dahlias because they don’t make good cut flowers (short vase life) but this year, almost by accident, I ended up with several and I’m falling in love with them again. Yes, the vase life is short, but in a pollinator garden or a special event design, they absolutely shine and add an extra sparkle! Open centered dahlias are actually a dominant trait if you collect for

There’s several ways to do it, but I really do prefer to wash the soil back into the rows and leave it in the field if possible. Also, goal is to get all of these (900 plants) divided by Saturday, so they needed to get washed anyway. 😉 Also after breaking probably a hundred pitch forks, we finally fou

But it ties into my name, vision and goal: you don’t need loads of space to have a profitable farm.

Peonies, dahlias, and ranunculus are all valuable main flower crops while the others are exceptional fillers that can give you endless of bouquets over a long period of time! If I lived in a warmer climate, I would sub in lisianthus, yarrow and celosia instead of the ranunculus, snapdragons and feverfew. Let me know if

After the summer plants get ripped out, I use a broadfork to loosen up the soil and help mix in the nitrogen before planting a new crop.
