Flowering Wild

Flowering Wild is a collective of independent florists, growers, and land-connected creatives, convened through studio free folk, who come together to create immersive floral installations rooted in seasonality, place, and community care. We gather around a shared belief that flowers are both art and offering—ephemeral, expressive, and deeply tied to the land.

On Sunday, July 19, Flowering Wild presents its latest site-specific installation at a private heritage farm in Prince Edward County. This restored location, celebrated for its land stewardship and adaptive reuse of historic agricultural buildings, serves as the canvas for a collaborative floral exhibition.

The installation features the distinct voices of:

• Alysia Ausubel (Begonia Moon Flower Studio)
• Alexis Bouma (Alexis Joy Florals)
• Sarah Crawford (East Lake Farm)
• Marilou Perron (Early Grey)
• Bethany Puttkemery (Smells Like Flowers)
• Lori Richards (Lori Richards)
• Kate Turkington (Westbriar Floral)

We are honored to host two local not-for-profits offering interactive programming throughout the day:

• The Department of Illumination: Family-friendly creative activities inviting youth to engage with art and ecology.
• Kenhte:ke Seed Sanctuary & Learning Centre: Insights into Indigenous seed stewardship, seed rematriation, and community-based food systems.
• Both organizations will be onsite accepting donations to support their vital community work.

Tickets include access to the floral installation, all guest programming, and a chance to wander the heritage farm property. Due to the nature of the property, there’s only 30 tickets available per viewing.

• Date: Sunday, July 19
• Viewings: 11:00 AM | 1:00 PM | 3:00 PM
• Location: A private address in Prince Edward County (emailed to ticket holders 24 hours before the event). Free onsite parking is available.
