Petals with a Purpose :)

A Display of the 11 Colors of Zinnia's

Growing Here on the Farm right now:

In my off time I have been meeting with local organizations around town to figure out creative ways to have more fun, invite more people out on the farm, share with others, and give back to the local community.

Last week I met with the Executive Director of Back Bay Restoration Foundation, Mary Tilton, their headquarters are just one street over from us on New Bridge Road.

Since this little flower farm sits directly on a tributary of Back Bay (canoe right out from the front yard) hoping to cook up some ideas of how my little farm biz can help their mission to preserve, restore and educate about the back bay ecosystem. They use funds to monitor water quality, run the educational tram tours of Back Bay and build wood duck boxes for the watershed. Visit their webpage at www.bbrf.org

In effort to help their mission, Back Bay Botanicals will be donating 40% of all flower sales on Fridays to Back Bay Restoration Foundation! Its date night so bring your significant other, family, kids or make it a girls night out to come pick flowers for a great cause.

Give my petals more purpose :) If you too have a great local organization that could benefit from a farm fundraiser, preschool, church or local group that needs some flower power, feel free to contact me at backbaybotanicals@yahoo.com.
