A Country Rose Florist: Our Favorite Tallahassee Venues


A Country Rose Reveals Our Favoite Tallahassee Venues:

 Maclay Gardens 

Alfred B Maclay Gardens State Park is another on our list of favorite places for weddings in Tallahassee. Located just north of I-10 on 319. Consider this location for you small to medium size wedding. 
Alfred B Maclay and his wife Louise bought the north Florida land in 1923 to build a winter home. They named it Killearn after Maclay’s great-grandfather who was in Scotland. Maclay and his wife work together continually until his death and his wife continue the planting and grooming and opened the gardens  to the public in 1946. In 1953 she donated 307 acres of their estate to include the gardens to Florida State Park Service. The State renamed the gardens in 1965 in honor of  Alfred B. Maclay. The Park now covers 1,176 acres and in 2000 was included on the National Register of Historic Places.
The gardens consist of an abundance of azaleas and camellias, also dogwood, gardenia, ginger, jasmine, redbud and more. The peak season for blooming is January 1st  through April 30th.

The most popular cermony site is the reflection pool.  It has a breath taking view from the top of the of the pool down to Lake Hall. 




There is also a small gardeners cottage. With several rooms and a kitchen.

Locally Grown; Our Flower Farm | Farm to Florist | Tallahassee, Florida

We haven't really shared much about our cut flower farm but it is time for that to change! We are honored to be able to provide our customers with many locally grown flowers! The  owner of  A  Country  Rose ,   Annette started farming on an acre at her home in Wakulla County about eight years ago. She has since moved herself and her farm to a new location with more space for growth (pun intended). Annette  and her husband Ed are the ones who make all the magic  happen.  The most current tasks around  the  farm as of the last  couple  of weeks is a reworking of all the beds. They've been pulling up all the irrigation, laying new rows which includes 100's of tractor loads of compost and mulch then re-laying of black ground cover (to keep weeds at bay), white ground cover (to keep the black from burning the flowers) and then replacement of the irrigation.  It's a lot of work but the  results will be amazing and below is a sneak peek of what we are  harvesting  right now.
