Come visit us on the farm for a special event like no other.

Every winter, we hear plenty of chatter about deer—especially around Christmas, when Rudolph and his reindeer friends take center stage. But when it comes to your garden, there’s good news: even Santa’s most famous helpers aren’t interested in peonies.

While deer may nibble their way through hostas, daylilies, and tulips like they’re part of an all-you-can-eat buffet, peonies usually get a pass.

It was cookie weekend. Mira, Grandma and I made my favorite cookie… Cherry Winks! I’ve loved these ever since I was little and my Grandma Helen made them… a mixture of maraschino cherries, nuts and dates in a classic dough with a corn flake coating for crunch. Topped with a cherry for good measure.

I love giving Christmas presents… actual presents that weren’t just bought off a list someone handed over… but a true thoughtful present.

Gift cards just aren’t that fun to give. They seem impersonal. But they are so convenient and very useful. I am a fan of practical and useful gifts!

If you are still looking for that perfect gift for someone that has everything or is seemingly impossible to buy for I have a couple solutions for you!

You all know I’ve been potting peonies like crazy… more than 1200 of them to get ready for spring here on the peony farm.

I have a three hour window in the afternoon, four days a week, when all the kiddos are in school and I can actually get something done.

Lately that’s potting up peonies to be sold in the spring here on the farm. There’s a process, some technique and a whole lot of trial and error that goes into it.

Experiences make amazing gifts. They stick with you in a way stuff just doesn’t.

Instead of adding more clutter, they give memories, moments, and stories you’ll talk about for years. They bring people together, spark fun, and make life feel a little fuller.

From year to year, there are some peonies that remain fan favorites. Others rise to top of the popularity contest based on availability. Regardless it’s fun to see what you all are loving from season to season. See the list of our top peonies of 2025!
