Sea-Green Farm was named using an old definition of the word “sea-green”. Once upon a time, a “sea-green” (noun) described the “land just barely inland, beyond the wrack line and coastal vegetation, periodically flooded during high spring tides and hurricanes”.

At the edge of Wadmalaw Sound, where dryland & marsh meet the intracoastal, is where our flowers grow.  

When we took ownership of this small 13 acre perch in 2018, our fields which had pumped out cabbage at the turn of the century, were fallow. We used a tractor sparingly in order to reclaim them for practical reasons. Overtime, we have reclaimed them using mostly non-mechanical methods. We’ve added compost, and decided against the use of any pesticides in order to respect the watery ecosystem that surrounds the farm. A wide variety of plantings keeps pests at bay. Flowers bloom. Lady bugs are abundant.

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 native perennials and unusual varieties of garden staples. Our goal is growing and designing is always to incorporate as much of our surroundings as possible. We take care to pair the high and the low. We embrace a lack of uniformity in our stem selection. Our goal is always to draw attention to the wide variety of beauty and detail that one sea-green produces - whether we meant to grow it or not!
