ANCHORED ROOTS FARM

 We grow flowers for events in Southern Maryland. We love to provide flowers that go with the season of the event. We believe flowers time-stamp an event in the moment, and add to the ambiance of the theme.

Tips to keep your flowers fresh and vibrant after you get them home. These five tips below will get a week (or more!) from most of your fresh flowers.

And I think about how we are having the wrong conversations with kids. Then this morning, I woke up and checked the weather immediately, as any farmer does, and thought, 'the worst that can happen today is a little snow'. I posted to my...

No green thumb required.

Setting out to start the farm, I never imagined an article  such as the one written by All Ag Media this winter, Wentworth Blossoming with Floral Arrangements written for American Farm Publications. But, I'm glad it's happened. Flower workshops were not something we thought would be important to our small business, but we took a chance, and it's been one of the best ways to meet new customers and provide education about our business (and farming in general)...
