What came first, the chocolate or the flowers??
Our farm is named after a love of chocolate and Marie's passion for gardening... as it turns out Marie already had a love of dark plants, thus our name tipped the scale toward specializing in "chocolate" flowers. But gardeners cannot live on chocolate alone so we grow many complementary plants as well, with an emphasis on rare, hard to find perennials. We have been here six years now and have more wonderful plans for the farm and for the shop. We are looking forward to creating a special nursery you will want to visit often.

DIRECTIONS:
Our Gift Shop is in downtown Langley on Whidbey Island and our farm is less than 1/2 mile West of town on Saratoga Road (the road closest to the water). Whidbey Island is 40 minutes North of Seattle.
Learn more about this charming Village by the Sea by visiting the village website http://www.visitlangley.com/
From Seattle take take I-5 North to Exit 189 and follow signs to the Whidbey Island/Mukilteo Ferry (a 15 minute crossing). Once off the ferry go approx 2.5 miles on Hwy 525 to Langley Road. Turn right onto Langley Road and follow it approx 3 miles to Langley. At the first stop sign in Langley take a right onto Cascade and follow it to First Street to visit our gift shop which is on the water side next to The Doghouse Tavern or to go directly to the farm take a left onto Second Street and keep going straight for exactly 1 mile since Second Street turns into Saratoga Road when you leave town. Our farm is on the left.
From Bellingham take I-5 South to Exit 230, and follow signs to Deception Pass Bridge. Cross the bridge to Whidbey Island. Drive down the Island on Highway 20, which then becomes Highway 525. Turn left at Bayview Road (at the light after you pass the Whidbey Telecom Building) and go approximately 3 miles to Langley. Once you pass the "Welcome to Langley" sign you will take the first left (DeBruyen) at the church and then the first left again onto Saratoga Road and the farm is 4/10ths of a mile up Saratoga Road. To go to the gift shop into town you would go straight instead of turning left onto Saratoga and the road winds into town and becomes First Street.

No, it did not snow on Whidbey Island yet, this is from 2008, but I love our happy snowman and it is a lovely holiday image of our little store.

December always makes me think ... SEEDS! |
|
|
|
December is such a great month because you have all of the fun holiday activities with family and friends the first 3 weeks and then the last week everything quiets down, the days begin getting longer after the Solstice on the 22nd and seed and plant catalogs begin filling your mailbox. I always feel that the last week of December is like the beginning of Spring ... so exciting! To celebrate my excitement I think I'll put our Chocolate Garden Seed Kits at 15% off this month. This can be used in conjunction with the newsletter discount to increase your savings. They make wonderful gifts not just for the holidays but for Valentines Day, Mother's Day, Birthdays, etc.. so stock up for future fun giving!
To tempt you further, here is the amazing Chocolate Sunflower that is included in the Chocolate Garden Favorites Seed Kit, the Annual Chocolate Garden Seed Kit and the Kid's Chocolate Garden Seed Kit. Individual seed packets of this gorgeous flower make great stocking stuffers as well.
** A note for those of you who placed seed orders earlier this season but have not yet received them - all outstanding seed orders are shipping this week. Seed collection and packaging took longer than normal this season.

I can't help it ... I LOVE our Boxes of Chocolates |
|
|
|
Every time I package up a Box of Chocolates it makes me smile. They make such a lovely gift. Last December when we first introduced them and they were given as gifts, we received such wonderful feedback saying how thrilled the recipients were with them. Chocolate = LOVE ... give a little love this season. Since I have the seed kits on sale and one of the gift boxes (Box #3) includes a seed kit, that whole gift box selection is 15% off and for fun I'll make the most popular Gift Box #1 also 15% off (add your newsletter discount and it is 25% off ... score!). The Gift Box #1 has our 3 best sellers in it ... a Chocolate Candle, Chocolate Soap and Chocolate Mint Tea. You can mix and match and make your own gift box as well.
