Grow Like a Quite Contrary Gardener

A core belief at Quite Contrary Flower Farm is that there is no one right way to grow great flowers. 

Over the years we have tried a bunch of different methods to find what suits us, our climate, and our soil to get the best results in our cut flower field. 

We want to share those with you. 

Join us on our journey as a Quite Contrary Gardener.
