Pollinator Friendly Locally Grown Fresh Flowers

Wild Life Flowers, nurtured by Kimberly Longey, is dedicated to improving the quality of life for people and pollinators with attractive, long-lasting and sustainable flowers and culinary herbs.

Perennials are integral to my half-acre garden. Increasingly, I’m adding biennial and annual flowers, woody shrubs, and display-worthy vegetables, herbs and fruits. I focus on pollinator-friendly plants native to our region of western Massachusetts, the unceded homeland of the Pocumtuc and Nipmuc peoples.

After 35 years of gardening, in 2020 I began sharing my bounty with others. I love growing beauty and stay inspired by honoring the shape, smell and taste of flowers – placing pansies on a cake; arranging ninebark and peony in a local potter’s vase; incorporating nasturtium in a salad; using marigold and zinnia for fabric dyes; and drying dahlia blooms for everlasting arrangements. I’m rewarded by the smile received while handing a friend a bouquet of gorgeous fresh flowers.

I am part of the “grown, not flown” slow flower movement, reducing the carbon footprint of fresh flowers with sustainable, regenerative, water conserving, low-till growing practices. I do not ship my flowers. Wild Life Flowers offerings are available at our farm stand or with local delivery agreement.

Thank you for supporting a small-scale local business dedicated to sustainable beauty.  Sign up for my newsletter to learn about what’s current and in season. I’ll be so happy to flower you with joy!
