Meet the Erica Collection.
Some gardens whisper. This one does not.
The Erica Collection is color at full volume — blazing orange zinnias, deep royal purple snapdragons, the wild crested architecture of a supercrest celosia mix, and at its heart, three Karma series dahlias that will stop people in their tracks. This is the garden that makes the neighbors slow their car down. The one that gets photographed. The one that fills a vase and changes the entire mood of a room.
This collection is named for our daughter Erica — our firstborn — and anyone who knows her is already smiling. Erica brings joy into every room she enters. She is vivid, warm, celebratory, and full of life. We could not have named this collection anything else.
At the heart of the Erica Collection are three Karma dahlias chosen for pure drama — Karma Naomi, Karma Blue Lagoon, and Karma Caroline. Together they cover a breathtaking range: deep velvet crimson, saturated purple-blue to magenta-violet, and that endlessly changing peachy-to-violet-to-dark-apricot-orange that makes Karma Caroline completely impossible to look away from. Around them, a full cast of heat-loving, cut-and-come-again annuals that bloom from July through frost and reward every single cutting with even more flowers.
We grow all of these on our farm. We know how they perform, how they look together, and how much joy they bring. This kit was designed to deliver that joy — straight from our fields to your garden.

Disclaimer:
We love our flowers and know you will too! However, there are several things we can’t control such as deer, drought, floods, heat waves, late frosts, early frosts, that weird Ohio week where it does all of the above, or the occasional lapse in your watering motivation. Grow with us — we’ll figure it out together. No guarantees. Just good vibes. And a good head start.
Grow with YFG — you won’t be growing alone.
When you order one of our kits, you’re joining us for the whole season. We’ll be growing the Brooke and Erica Collections right here on the farm — side by side with you — and sharing every step of the way on Facebook and Instagram.
Planting day. First buds. When to pinch your dahlias. How to harvest for maximum vase life. Troubleshooting, tips, and plenty of photos from our own rows. Follow along, tag your posts with #GrowWithYFG, and let’s grow this summer together.

The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift
Looking for a Mother’s Day gift that’s truly memorable? This kit is it — and here’s the thing that makes it even more special: the plants won’t be ready to pick up until mid-May, right after Mother’s Day. So you’re not giving a plant. You’re giving an entire summer of flowers.

That’s not just a gift. That’s a whole season of joy.
