ethically grown flowers for lovers of the natural world

SERVING DURHAM REGION & THE GREATER TORONTO AREA

Field Notes is a speciality flower farm & floral design studio nestled in the hillsides of rural Uxbridge, Ontario. Located 75 minutes outside Toronto, the farm is dedicated to cultivating whimsical, evocative flowers and foliage in harmony with the seasons, from bearded irises in spring to dahlias through autumn. 

Driven by a commitment to environmental ethics, we focus on sustainable floristry practices and compose bouquets that reflect both the beauty of nature and the individuality of our clients. Through our immersive Pick-Your-Own Flowers experiences, we invite our community into our gardens to restore spirit and reconnect with nature.

our story

Field Notes was launched in 2016 out of a backyard garden plot, with all flowers being donated to a local retirement home.

When Marie saw the power of home-grown flowers to evoke emotion and reconnect people with nature, her dedication to sustainable flower production grew. She and her husband invested in a farm outside Uxbridge, Ontario in 2020, to grow Field Notes and its impact.

The flower farm now consists of a thriving ½ acre production area, a cutting patch for U-Pick and floral workshops, and an in-house design studio dedicated to sustainable floristry for special events. 

At Field Notes we are growing flowers that connect people with what matters most- nature, and each other. We are fueled by making a difference in the world, one bouquet at a time.

What We Stand For

Cultivating Beauty

We are humbled to grow and share flowers that have a magical ability to spark emotion. Be it joy and levity at a wedding, or tenderness and hope in the wake of loss. We are committed to growing the freshest and best quality blooms, and in turn creating artful, intentional designs with optimism and gratitude.

Planet Before Profit

In every decision we make, be it deciding on a garden mulch or boutonniere box, we are thinking of the earth first. We truly believe in a re-thinking of the floral design industry. From avoiding chemical fertilizers to building wedding ceremony installations using compostable and reusable materials- we are committed to sustainable farming and floristry.

Building Community

Whether working with local businesses or opening the farm for a charity initiative, we want to connect and bring nature to others. Our hope is to raise a farm business that contributes to our local economy and community in an enriching manner. We take care each growing season to donate flowers to those who may especially need to feel the love of a home-grown arrangement.
