SEA-GREEN FARM & FLOWERS

At one time, the word “sea-green” described the “land overflowed by the sea in spring tides and hurricanes”.

Today, this describes the place where Sea-Green Farm’s flowers grow - at the edge of Wadmalaw Sound, where dryland & marsh meet the intracoastal.  

In an effort to respect the delicate ecosystem that surrounds the farm, we use regenerative farming methods with minimal tillage. Our goal is to build the healthy soil that allows our plants to thrive without the use of pesticides or chemicals.

A fallow field that pumped out cabbage at the turn of the century (as did many of the fields in Meggett, SC), is the site of a micro area (approximately 1 acre) of actively managed cut flowers and cover crop. This small but mighty space pumps out a bounty of blooms from March to November (with a brief pause in the heat of July/August). We grow long-stemmed, cutting varieties of specialty flowers, alongside vines and certain “weeds” which we choose to view otherwise. Some are heirloom blooms that were once common staples in the antebellum gardens of downtown Charleston. Others are cutting edge cultivars of old cottage garden staples. Many of the flowers we offer are seldom seen in stores because they don’t ship well enough to be “commercially” viable. 

The result is a selection of distinctive, beautiful, wild and ever-changing seasonal flowers…

Unique to this particular South Carolina sea-green.
