This heat! In prepping for some events with @janehammondevents this week, we’ve had to turn our bathroom into a temporary walk-in cooler. Still not sure where we’ll be showering today... 😂 Can you guess which bay area university these are headed to? . . . #boxcarflowerfarm #farmersolutions #fallcolor #dahlias #flowersinmybathtub #bathtubflorals #urbanfarminglifestyle #urbanfarming #grownnotflown #slowflowers
The flower farm is now called Boxcar Flower Farm! (A nod to the historic 16th st. station that has been our backdrop since the beginning.) After many wonderful years running the farm as a job training site for Oakland youth, I am now taking it on as a small family business. We will continue with the spirit of community outreach, education, keeping it local, and organic growing practices. Stay tuned for more updates!

...and more flowers from the farm. Can you find the grape clusters? They are just starting to come in! #wowfarm #dahlias #sweetpea #urbanfarming #westoakland #oaklandgrown #summerflowers #farmerflorist
Time to stake out the dahlias. They’ll need structural support as they grow taller, so we tackled this big job with the help of our awesome flower farm alumni! #strongwomen #hammerandnails #oaklandyouth #urbanfarming #wowfarm #flowerfarmer #dahlia #westoakland
It’s been heating up, and these flowers are so happy to be in the AC at nearby @kilovoltcoffee. #wowfarm #sweetpeas #dahlias #oaklandflorist #oaklandgrown #farmerflorist #westoakland

Get to work early and you can hang out in style! #farmerstyle #wow_farm #hardatwork #oaklandyouth #urbanfarming #westoakland
The true #Farmtotable experience: WOW interns delivering produce and then seeing the delicious final plate @floraoakland ! #knowyourfarmer #radish #oaklandgrown #eatoakland #wow_farm
