Color Up

Color Up Hello. My name is Carla I am 63, retired on a fixed income, and I live with my 2 young adult children. Luke is the oldest at 24. He has autism. An idea was born.

He loves people, is extremely intelligent, enjoys drawing and being helpful. We have searched for quite some time for a way for him to work, meet local people, and stay physically active, while allowing me to do the same. Last year I grew a very large vegetable garden to help make ends meet. I quickly learned that while I enjoy veggie gardening, I LOVE growing flowers. I got to work over the winte

r researching and learning everything we needed to know to get started. We now maintain a 3000 sqft flower garden, learning as we "grow." Later in the season we plan on opening our garden to those who would like to come and cut their own bouquets - although this is still a plan in progress. If you pass Sheetz in Concord, going towards Appomattox, look to your right and down the hill. If you see a lot of color and would like to come snip some blooms, DM me here and we can set up a time!

Poppies. Breadseed/opium poppies. These are one of the few blooms that I get to enjoy in full color without cutting. I grow them for the interesting pods. Since the flowers only last for a day or two they are mine, all mine!

It's fun to make something for myself from flowers I could not include. Too short, too open, too weak etc. Just a mess-o-sunshine!
