When the garden goes quiet and the days get shorter, it’s easy to feel a little… well, wilted. Winter can be long, gray, and restless — and if you’re anything like me, you start itching to dig your hands in the dirt again by December.
So this year, instead of just waiting for spring, I decided to grow through it.
Welcome to Just Grow With It — my cozy, chaotic little series where we keep our hands (and our minds) busy over the winter and tackle what comes at us during the growing season, together. Think of it as equal parts gardening, storytelling, and laughter — because dirt is cheaper than therapy, and growing something green always makes everything a little brighter. Official kickoff begins January 5th!
The Giveaway: Let’s Grow Together
To kick things off, 5 lucky winners will receive 1 packet of 20 seeds, of one of my very favorite flowers — the Dahlia! And if you didn't know, yes, you can grow Dahlias from seed, just like these ^ ones that we grow here at the farm.
This giveaway isn’t just about free seeds (though, who doesn’t love that?). It’s about connection — creating something beautiful together, even when the world outside feels cold and un-alive.
Whether you’re a seasoned grower, a newbie to the flower world, or someone who’s just trying to make it through winter with your sanity intact, I’d love for you to join me. Be sure to sign up for my newsletter for all the insider information.

What is Just Grow With It?
An online community hosted by me, Darcy, for anyone who feels a little restless when the garden goes quiet — the dreamers, the dirt lovers, and the ones who find peace in watching something small grow. Together, we'll get a head start on growing flowers for next season, share our wins and our not so winning moments, because that's how WE grow! I'll share with you all my tips and tricks, what and how and when to grow, there will be no gatekeeping.
Why Just Grow With It?
Because this season doesn’t have to be about waiting. It can be about creating — about planting something small and hopeful, even when the garden’s asleep. These little seeds remind me that growth doesn’t stop just because the world slows down. It just happens quietly, underground — the same way we do sometimes.
So follow along on Instagram for the latest updates, planting chaos, and all the dirt on what’s growing next.
