Exploring All My Thyme: A Flower Farm in the Heart of Skagit Valley

Welcome back to our “Flowers Farms of the Pacific Northwest” series on homewithhollyj.com! Today, I’m taking you on a journey to a lovely flower farm! All My Thyme Flower Farm, owned by my dear friend, Dawn Severin, is nestled in the picturesque Skagit Valley of Northern Washington. If you’ve ever heard of the famous tulip festival in the Skagit Valley, Dawn’s farm is right in the heart of this region.

Meet Dawn Severin: The Heart Behind All My Thyme

All My Thyme was established by Dawn Severin (pictured on the right in the image below) in 1997 as a wholesale culinary herb farm in the fertile Skagit Valley near Mount Vernon, Washington. It has since evolved into an online nursery and rose farm, specializing in potted garden roses. This beautiful location, between the mountains and sea, provides a temperate climate with an endless breeze that roses seem to enjoy.  

Over the years, All My Thymes collection of roses has grown and includes David Austin English garden roses, climbing roses, new releases, and the rediscovery of some heirloom roses. All of the roses grown on the farm are selected for certain characteristics that lend themselves to use in floral design work, as well as bestowing beauty in the garden. They are always testing new varieties to remove some of the guess work for their customers.

All My Thyme is a seasonal farm. Fragrant rose blooms begin coming in from their fields and high tunnels in late May and continue into October. Limited availability of other cut flowers, like peonies, perennials, herbs, and dahlias are offered during their unique season.  

A Rose Lover’s Dream

One of the highlights of All My Thyme is the stunning array of garden roses that Dawn grows. Partnering with the renowned David Austin Roses, Dawn cultivates some of the most breathtaking and fragrant roses you’ll ever encounter. David Austin is the most famous rose breeder, and his collaboration with Dawn brings a touch of timeless elegance to her farm. Whether it’s the classic beauty of the English roses or the vibrant colors of the newer varieties, each rose at All My Thyme tells a story of love and dedication.

A Symphony of Dahlias and Peonies

But roses are just the beginning. Dawn also grows a vibrant collection of dahlias that add a burst of color to her fields. These dahlias, with their intricate petals and stunning hues, create a dazzling display that captures the essence of summer.

And let’s not forget the peonies! At All My Thyme, you’ll find some of the most beautiful peonies I’ve ever seen. Their lush, full blooms and intoxicating fragrances are enough to make anyone fall in love. Each peony is a testament to Dawn’s skill and her commitment to growing flowers that bring joy to everyone who sees them.

These are just some of the gorgeous peonies Dawn grows on her farm.

This garden rose below is one of my favorites that Dawn grows on her flower farm.

More Than Just Flowers

All My Thyme is more than just a flower farm; it’s a place where nature and art come together. Dawn’s dedication to sustainable farming practices ensures that her flowers are not only beautiful but also grown with care for the environment. Her farm is a haven for pollinators, and her eco-friendly methods set an example for flower farming everywhere.

A Friendship Bloomed

My connection with Dawn began years ago at a flower-arranging workshop at her farm. That workshop sparked a friendship that has blossomed over the past six years. Whenever I need beautiful flowers or roses, it’s worth the drive north to get flowers from her farm. Dawn is a lovely, hardworking person with a talent for growing flowers, and I absolutely adore her. I wish I lived a little closer so I could visit more often.

Flower Farms of the Pacific Northwest Series Part Two – Purple Haze Lavender Farm

I’m so excited to be sharing another post on the Flower Farms of the Pacific Northwest Series. The farm I’m highlighting is called Purple Haze Lavender Farm and is a seven-acre certified organic lavender farm located in Sequim, Washington’s on the Olympic Peninsula.

Purple Haze Lavender Farm

There are so many lavender farms in this area but so far, Purple Haze has been my favorite one to visit. I met the owner last summer when I went for the first time and enjoyed visiting with him at the farm. The farm was recently sold and I hope the new owners will continue to keep it the same way!

The Beauty of a Lavender Farm

There are thousands of lavender plants to wander amongst at Purple Haze and there is a gift shop which features Purple Haze Lavender farm’s products. You are welcome to bring a picnic lunch and relax and for five dollars, you can cut your own bundle of lavender to take home. The smell of fresh lavender is magnificent!

The farm has many varieties of lavender and there is one variety that is pink!  Lavender is so beautiful, especially when it blooms. The best time of year to see it blooming is mid July to early August. I typically go during that time frame so I can see the fields in full bloom. There is a lavender festival every July in Sequim.

Sequim Lavender Festival

Have you ever seen lavender close up as it’s blooming? Its so pretty. I blew this photo up so you could see the detail more clearly. All these photos were taken in July of 2020 at Purple Haze Lavender Farm. The owner was so gracious and gave me a private tour of the farm and gardens. I went back again this summer but missed seeing it in full bloom. It was still beautiful though and you can see the reel video I made from this years visit on my Instagram @homewithhollyj

Purple Haze also allows you to walk in the lavender fields are are very generous with how they allow everyone to experience the farm. There are some great opportunities for photos here too.

There is no charge to visit the farm and there is ample parking. There are also some farm animals including a peacock and lots of cute chickens.

The farm also has a beautiful garden full of flowers and vegetables. When I went last year, the owner had planted all his vegetable plants in straw bales. I was totally fascinated by this. He told me that the plants do amazing planted this way and by the end of the season, they are just small clumps on the ground. I’m going to have to try this method sometime!

Here’s a few more photos of the flowers in the farms vegetable and flower garden.

Check out John Wayne Marina nearby. I took this photo while visiting last summer.

Our favorite place to eat in Sequim is called The Oak Table Cafe. They have the best pancakes I’ve ever had that are made with a sourdough starter. Everything is delicious though!

Sequim also has a farmers and artisans market on Saturdays, May thru October from 9am to 3 pm and located at the City Hall Plaza. The downtown area is charming with a lot of cute shops and some great places to eat.

This is the Dungeness Spit and is near Sequim and the views of  the Straight of Juan De Fuca are incredible. This is a state park and you can hike down to the ocean for these views. That is Canada off in the distance in the top left of the picture.

Sequim is also located in the Olympic National Forest’s rain shadow and receives way less rain than the rest of western Washington. It’s the cutest town and so worth the drive or a ferry ride from Seattle.

Here’s a link that lists out some of the other Lavender farms in and around Sequim.

Our bernedoodles, Coco and Copper loved visiting the farm too!

This is some of the information off the Purple Haze website:

“At Purple Haze in the summer we welcome you to wander our lavender fields, enjoy a scoop of lavender ice cream, and shop in either of our two stores-one of which is located on the farm itself  and the other one which is located in downtown Sequim at 127 W Washington Street.  During our “winter” months only our Downtown gift shop location remains open.  However, we always welcome visitors to enjoy the farm and then if you wish to shop just stop at our store downtown and we will be happy to help you with your lavender purchases.  Our store in Downtown Sequim is OPEN year round Tuesday-Friday 9-5, Saturday 10-5 and Sundays 12-4.  Pets are always welcome at the farm!”
