Summer Blooms and Self-Serve Joy on Route 29

Opening Soon—with Sunflowers in Tow!
Here I am with the season’s first bucket of sunflowers, standing in front of our soon-to-bloom roadstand in Schwenksville, PA. Can’t wait to share the flowers (and the joy) with you all!

Summer’s Here (Almost), and So Are the Flowers

It’s that magical time of year again—the season when the stand on Route 29 shakes off the last of its sleepy winter dirt and needs a rinsing of early Spring pollen and bursts into full bloom. I’m thrilled (and a little overwhelmed) to announce that our summer flowers are officially making their grand entrance at the stand on PA Route 29 (also known as Gravel Pike). We’ve leveled up a bit this year—more flowers, more variety, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting.

What’s in Bloom and Ready to Go Home With You

This summer, I’ve got a downright joyful mix of flowers spilling into vases and wrapped bouquets. The fan favorites are back—sunflowers and zinnias, showing off like they own the place. Stock and snapdragons are strutting their stuff with their signature scent and color. Strawflowers are ready to live forever (or at least until next season’s clutter claims the shelf you put them on). I momentarily forgot about cosmos and MARIGOLDS. I may be in denial about how many additions and upgrades have happened this season.

You’ll also find cone flowers and Goldilocks rudbeckia soaking up the sun, sweet peas doing their dainty best, and the delicate duo of larkspur and foxglove adding a romantic, old-fashioned flair to the mix. It’s a glow-up from last summer, and I may be nervous, but I’m not mad about it.

How It Works at the Stand

We’re located at 956 Gravel Pike in Schwenksville, just a bit South of where Route 73 and Route 29 merge—hence the name, Flowers on 29. It’s a self-serve stand, which means you can swing by, grab a bouquet, and be on your merry, flower-scented way. I put bouquets out by 9 a.m. (or earlier if I’m feeling ambitious and the coffee kicks in), and they’re available until dark or until we sell out.

Most days, it’s just you, the flowers, and a pay box—but I’m usually around nearby if you need anything or just want to talk blooms, weather, or why the snapdragons are being dramatic again.

Stay in the Loop

For updates, photos, or to confirm whether the flowers survived the latest thunderstorm, check out our website at www.flowerson29.com or follow me on Instagram at @msecurtis. I’ll be posting regularly—especially once school is out on June 6 and I shift into full flower farmer mode.

See You at the Stand

A Bucket Full of Sunshine
A generous bundle of cheerful sunflowers, freshly harvested and gathered in a galvanized bucket, ready to brighten someone’s day. Bold, golden petals and sturdy green stems—summer in a snapshot.

Thanks for supporting this little roadside dream of mine. The stand is open, the flowers are blooming, and I truly can’t wait for you to come see what we’ve grown. Whether you’re stopping for a quick pick-me-up or gathering an armful of color for your kitchen table, there’s something waiting for you on 29.
