”Whether it’s growing your own garden, creating handmade bouquets to share, or learning how to grow a new variety – flowers are so much more than just beautiful blooms. They represent hope, nostalgia, and a feeling of coming home to the place you belong.“

We are so exited to welcome the exceptional local flower grower and author Marryn Mathis to tell us all things about growing sweet peas and dahlias. Marryn, known for her incredible dahlia field and amazing sweet peas, is also a cut flower educator who created the very unique sweet pea school. At her flower farm she specializes in seed production, growing cut flowers for retail, dahlia hybridization and educational workshops. Now the “Queen of Growing Sweet Peas” has published a new book: Sweet Pea School: Growing and Arranging the Garden’s Most Romantic Blooms that will be available at our lecture.

Marryn Mathis and her family run the Farmhouse Flower Farm in Stanwood, Washington. She always loved flowers and gardening, but it took 20 years of working in healthcare and IT to finally realize what truly fed her soul—being among the flowers. She came alive and found her true passion when she discovered flower farming. In 2018 she founded the Farmhouse Flower Farm that specializes in dahlia tubers, flower seeds, sweet pea seeds, anemone, and ranunculus corms.
