Welcome

This is Windy Hill Farm in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. This farmhouse was built around 1850 but the barn, we believe, is much older because of the roman numerals we found on the roof beams. Windy Hill is a beautiful small gentleman’s farm where we’ve had the opportunity to raise our 3 children, 3 kittens, and thousands of honey bees.

The florals, trees, and foliage that come back as perennials each year are ever-changing and so much fun to experience. We have many fragrant lilac trees and bushes, stately hydrangeas, 14 gorgeous peony plants, astilbe, spirea, crepe myrtle, several varieties of winterberry, viburnum, pink weigela, butter-toned forsythia, a small shaded hellebore garden with peaking trolls-a-watching. There is even a small lavender-topped rock wall near the bank barn, a self-created lemon balm lane with sprigs of apple mint that pop out from time to time.

There is a secret garden with 2 raised beds in the back near the intermittent stream, patches of peppermint here and there, some chocolate mint, orange tiger lilies, daylilies, and a heck of a lotta hosta that the deer like to feed on. We have black-eyed Susans, daffodils, and phlox that repeat each year, purple and white echinacea, purple and cream iris, and one very large herb garden brimming with camomile, thyme, basil, dill, catmint, rosemary, lemon verbena, basil, bee balm, chives, and parsley. In some seasons we have cultivated a wildflower meadow in the sunny center of a circular grove of trees near the bee hives. Although we enjoy all of these vintage gardens here at Windy Hill, and we certainly use them as filler for our designs, the primary source of the Studio Sprig flowers comes from the many small-scale flower growers we have in our region.
