Bessie and Joyce Flowers
Emily has a small urban farm, less than 1/8 of an acre, nestled in the heart of Harvest Hills in Saratoga Springs. Despite its small size, Emily is able to grow thousands of flowers and filler every year. Rows of flowers are grown in raised beds, and the garden borders of perennials and bulbs are always free game for cutting! She is always saying this will be the last year of removing grass for a new garden bed, and then she proceeds to dig up more grass! To maximize space and extend the season, Emily creates low tunnels each year to grow spring beauties like ranunculus and anemones. She also does intensive succession planting, rotating planting areas with sunflowers, zinnias, and more. All this is done as organically as possible, with natural fertilizers and pest control solutions. Her growing season goes from early April to the end of September.

Emily Brooksby
Emily Brooksby loves flowers, gardening, and designing. What started out as a hobby growing flowers in pots on the balcony of her first home has blossomed into a passion project and business. Her business is named after her grandmothers, and she frequently channels their work ethic and green thumb when starting new seeds or troubleshooting farm problems and challenges. While she is always growing something new each year, she will always plant her favorite flower, ranunculus!
