Looking Back and Moving Forward

 Forrester Farm turned 20 in 2020. 

It seems odd to even say that. What started out as a desire to grow flowers to share with others has become a wonderful business filled with blooms and amazing clients.

As I looked through so many photos of weddings, events and social gatherings that we have been a part of thru the many years, I am just so thankful.

Seeing the smiles and photos full of joy is simply priceless!~

Whether we are creating flowers for big weddings and events or small bridal or baby showers, each event is special.  In the years that we delivered our bouquets to Whole Foods and Pulp & Stem and participated at local art fairs, farmer's markets and even our own Garden Room events, it was always so enjoyable. We have grown, changed and evolved though it all and I'm thankful for each of those experiences.  I'm especially thankful for the fabulous people (couples, clients & customers) who made it all so much sweeter. 

Cheers to 2021 and a new decade for Forrester Farm!~

Hello. Goodbye. Pulp & Stem.

Hello. Goodbye. Pulp & Stem.

Though many photos and posts showed up on our Forrester Farm facebook and instagram accounts, I hadn't actually blogged about our Pulp & Stem adventure in the Grand Rapids Downtown Market at all. As an ode to an excellent adventure, I do so now. 

As an introduction, Abbey, who owns The Paper Studio in downtown Grand Rapids, had approached me to be the "floral component" of her new retail space located in the Grand Rapids Downtown Market. Pulp & Stem opened in May of 2018 and we happily provided blooms upon blooms thru August 1, 2019. Fresh floral bouquets to compliment the wonderful gift items that Abbey had curated for the shop. The bouquets we provided year round also consisted of locally grown flowers during our Michigan growing season.

In honor of the start and end of a fun, flowery adventure, a photo journey of just of few of our weekly favorites...

Followed by the screenshot documentation of the Pulp & Stem instagram account which will be closing very soon... 

  And that's a wrap!~ 

We have loved working with Abbey and we loved being the "stem" side of Pulp & Stem.

As seasons change in Michigan, so they do in business as well. In the past 19 years of Forrester Farm, flowers have been a consistent part of who we are and what we have done. From weddings, events, participating in retail spaces, farmer's markets, arts & craft shows and hosting fun "garden room sales" at our own location, we change, adjust, grow and bloom and we look forward to doing more of just that!~ Cheers to the future!~
