Ken and I want to thank all of you for the calls, texts and emails we’ve received. We are blessed and fortunate. Our roads were flooded for a couple of days but we can now travel County Road O to 275 and get to Fremont if we have to. We are safe, dry and planning to work extra hard this year to fill the flower farm with beautiful blooms so it can be a relaxing and peaceful place for others to visit and take a breath. Please keep all of our Nebraska communities in your prayers. This is going to be a long recovery.

A Refreshing Sight!

A refreshing sight among the chaos happening in our state and community. The first Praying Mantis egg sac hatched in the greenhouse. A sign of spring and better days ahead. Keeping everyone close to our hearts and in our prayers.

Leonotis Leonurus

We trialed this plant in our container gardens last year and absolutely loved it. It began to bloom mid-season...perhaps due to last summer’s erratic weather conditions. Nevertheless, these bright and gorgeous blooms were worth the wait! The hummingbirds and butterflies flocked to these gorgeous flowers! We’ll have plants available in the greenhouse this spring! Leonotis Leonurus...Lions Ear.

Walkabout Sunset Lysimachia

It’s wonderful to see blooms beginning to emerge on some of the annuals! ‘Walkabout Sunset Lysimachia’ is prized for it’s vibrant gold foliage and bright yellow blooms. It thrives in containers and gardens that receive morning and early afternoon sun in our area.

Aloe Peglerae

This has been fun to watch! It’s probably one of the prettiest Aloe blooms I’ve ever seen...Aloe Peglerae!

Welcome!

It all starts with a seed! Welcome to our blog! TLC Country Floral is nestled on the Nebraska prairie between Fremont and Hooper. We grow and dry flowers harvested from gardens located on our property. We use many methods to dry flowers including air drying and freeze drying. The beautiful blooms harvested from our gardens are used to create stunning arrangements in traditional, vintage and contemporary containers. Others adorn wreaths and swags. Our extensively landscaped property includes a potting shed, gazebo, granite patio, rose garden, pergola and cutting garden. Our landscape includes over 100 container gardens that showcase the unique and unusual plants we sell in our greenhouse. Each year we hold two to three scheduled open houses. During the growing season we host shop and garden tours by appointment. We invite you to follow our blog as we share decorating and design ideas for your home and garden. We will show you what’s blooming behind our garden gate and share with you how to grow it in your own garden. We will show you the new designs and treasures available in the shop and give you ideas about adding life and texture to your home with the use of flowers. You may even see a familiar face on our blog when we post pictures of some of our summer visitors. Thanks for sharing this amazing journey with us! It really does all start with a seed!
