Our gracious grower, Lauren, is at home in conservatories, botanical gardens, farms and greenhouses, is partial to plants that look like tiny pairs of pants and loves googly eyes on just about anything.

Name: Lauren Weeks

Role: Grower

Education: I majored in Fine Arts at the University of Rhode Island when I discovered my passion for plants midway through my degree. Too late for a change of major, so I picked up a minor in Horticulture and was able to get a strong foundation of knowledge there.

How long have you worked in horticulture and/or at Bedner’s I did an internship at Phipps Conservatory the summer of my junior year. Then my senior year of college, I worked in the botanical garden and greenhouses at school. I’ve continued to work for a few other botanical gardens until I came to Bedner’s Farm three years ago.

Favorite things about your job? I love having a job where I can be active, be outside every day, take in the seasons and enjoy the wildlife around me. And I love learning the routines and rhythms of the other living things in my surroundings.

There are finches who nest above the perennials in the store, and hummingbirds that zip in and out of the greenhouses to feed on flowering hanging baskets. Plus, so many kinds of bees visit flowers, toads hide under plants in the greenhouse and there is so much plant growth from week to week. Being around all that life is such a joy.

Top 3 Plants? Oh gosh, this is the hardest question! Honestly, it depends on the season. I adore ephemerals, and a couple of my favorites are the Houstonia caerula, or bluets—they’re just so tiny and joyful, Dicentra cucullaria, or Dutchman’s breeches—how can you not love flowers that look like tiny pants?

I also really adore Monarda bradburiana, which smells amazing and has great fall color.

Best piece of garden advice? I mean, I know it’s a go-to, but ‘right plant, right place.’ If you know what type of environment you have, it makes it a lot easier to pick out plants that will thrive in that situation. Learning where plant occur in nature can really help you decide which plants to put in certain locations.

How Homegrown Happens, Part 2
Because we plant throughout the season and not just once, (10 or more times, to be exact!), you will see a fresh batch of seasonal plants every time you visit. It takes an army of people behind the scenes to make it all happen, and being a grower is at the core of who we are.

We're grateful for the opportunity to provide you with the freshest and best we have to offer.
