This one made me cry so I had to share it. I love these BIG lessons God reveals in the garden. Sharing from a fellow flower farmer in NC: “Well guys… I almost went digging.

I’ve been walking those tulip rows at the garden every single day — hands in my pockets, trying to act patient — but quietly wondering if I had just planted 500 dud bulbs.

I even asked my husband if I should dig one up “just to see.” Bless that man… he gently talked me out of my foolishness.

And then yesterday, there they were.

Tiny green leaves pushing up through cold soil and pine straw like little declarations:
“We were here all along.”

It made me think about how quickly we doubt what’s happening beneath the surface.

Just because you don’t see growth doesn’t mean nothing is happening.
Just because something hasn’t broken through yet doesn’t mean it’s dead.
Just because you feel small doesn’t mean you’re powerless.

Those bulbs have been working underground this whole time — rooting, strengthening, preparing.

And maybe you have too.

Sometimes the enemy doesn’t have to defeat us. He just has to convince us that we’re forgotten ….ineffective… unseen… unnecessary.

But the moment you believe your voice doesn’t matter, your choices don’t count, or your presence makes no difference — you hand away authority God already placed inside you.
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.”
— 2 Timothy 1:7

Power doesn’t always look loud.
Sometimes it looks like a green shoot pushing through hard ground.
Sometimes it looks like restraint — not digging up what God is still growing.
Sometimes it looks like quiet faith.

Tulips are coming soon.

And if God can bring color out of a buried bulb, He can bring purpose out of whatever season you’re standing in.” By Stillwater Flower Farm NC

Getting ready to FINALLY announce our new Spring crop! I’ve been waiting for

Every February I begin watching for the tulips to begin their grand display- first a little peek of green, then finally a bud. The past few years have taught me that the different colors bloom at different times, so we plant ours as a mix to insure that every single row has something blooming each week! These red and pink are probably my favorite of all! Follow along as we get closer to Tulip season and be the first to know when the first blooms burst open! 🌷

I’m a bit sentimental about these pictures. Our very first tulip in our very first tulip u pick season bloomed on the day my precious Grandmother gained her heavenly home. My husband snapped this picture. ONE single red tulip bloomed that day. She loved flowers and that tulip was my final gift to her. No other tulips bloomed for several days after that. That year All our first blooms were only red. It hasn’t happened that way again. I have so many wonderful memories of her but this time of year as I’m waiting for our first bloom, these photos evoke so much emotion. In fall 2022 we planted 6,000 tulips all by hand. Such a small beginning. I’m so grateful for these memories and for the opportunity to share more beautiful moments with you all as you visit our farm this year! Over 50,000 new bulbs will be bursting with color in the field before we know it!
