5 Picture-Perfect Flower Fields

When someone says “farm,” most people think of cows and pigs, corn and tractors, and the like. But on the pages of In Her Garden, a farm can mean rows upon rows of beautiful flowers. While not everyone has the land or inclination to become a flower farmer, any garden can be planted chockfull of awe-inspiring blooms. There’s just something about a field of flowers that calls to us, beckoning us to wander its rows, inhale its aromas, and feast our eyes upon nature’s magic. We’ve collected some gorgeous flower gardens from the pages of In Her Garden so you can take a virtual stroll among their blooms.  

NATALIE LINDEN⎟ IN HER GARDEN AUTUMN 2025

“Instead of my garden being my work and biggest stress, it is once again my happy place where I seek refuge. Of course, keeping a garden requires time and energy, but what I have gained back is priceless. I have regained my peaceful morning garden checks (with my best little helper by my side) and quiet evening garden walks. Although this journey has taken many paths, I can’t complain about the rough terrain because no matter which path I took, I eventually found my way back home.” — Natalie Linden

AMBER MCGAFFEY⎟ IN HER GARDEN SPRING 2025

“Growing flowers fulfilled very specific avenues of my life like nothing had ever done before. I had never done anything that encompassed everything I love all in one. I love being in the dirt and how it makes me feel good, both mentally and physically. I love experiencing the miracle of watching something magnificent grow from a small seed. I love being able to unleash my creativity through designing magical masterpieces from the things I’ve grown. I love how these flowers allow me to interact with so many different people. I love how we, as humanity, have chosen to use flowers during our highest celebrations and again amongst our deepest sorrows. Flowers have allowed me to be a very small part of these exchanges.” — Amber McGaffey

FAYE KRAUSE⎟ IN HER GARDEN SUMMER 2025

“Coming full circle — from flower farmer’s daughter, to floral designer, and now farmer and florist — gives me a unique perspective on trends in wedding florals. I don’t grow a bloom for just one wedding, but I do let upcoming bookings influence our crop planning. Last year, we succession-planted cosmos six times because nearly half our weddings requested them, and cosmos are difficult to source commercially. This year, we’re planting fewer blush dahlias and more vibrant pinks and peaches to match the palettes we’re seeing from our couples. To cultivate a garden that supports our design work, I need to think beyond the staples to make sure I have all the dancing textures, but also making sure the blooms have the stamina to hold up on a long wedding day.” — Faye Krause

KATELYN MORSE⎟ IN HER GARDEN SPRING 2024

“I can’t express how peaceful and joyful I feel when I’m walking through our rows of flowers. The bees and the hummingbirds dancing, the butterflies flitting, birds singing — it’s nothing short of an enchanted symphony. Every day is different, with new varieties of blooms appearing and others taking their last bow.” — Katelyn Morse

CAROLYN THOMPSON⎟ IN HER GARDEN SUMMER 2024

“Each year my flower business has grown exponentially, allowing me to expand my services. I now design flowers for around 10 weddings each year, always making sure that the bride and groom want to use locally grown flowers from my field. I feel that it is my responsibility to educate people about locally grown flowers and using those that are in season rather than having them flown in from another country. We have so much beauty on our own doorstep, so let’s make the most of it.” — Carolyn Thompson
