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 started farming in 2019, our fields (which pumped out cabbage around the turn of the century), were fallow. Over time, we have reclaimed the land 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 produces a bounty of blooms from March to November. We grow long-stemmed, cutting varieties of specialty flowers, alongside native perennials and unusual varieties of garden staples. Alongside cultivated flowers, we incorporate much of the surrounding vegetation in our designs. 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 seasonal beauty thriving on our South Carolina sea-green.
