Our Story

How It Started
Tricia came to flower growing through a deep love of nature, beauty, and artistry. Over years of hobby gardening, she filled every inch of an urban yard with flowers — until she recognized that her vision had outgrown the space.
She saved for ten years to buy this property — a deliberate, long-term act of faith in herself and this dream. The farm sits on 2.5 acres in Lake St. Croix Beach, directly off the scenic St. Croix byway, surrounded by mature trees and the family’s home.
That kind of patience tells you everything about who Tricia is before she’s said another word.
The Perennial Way
“The journey of the perennial is like the journey of this farm. Starting lean, establishing roots, designed to deepen and flourish over decades.”
How We Grow
Restoration and ecological stewardship are central to what Bold North Blooms is — not marketing language, but a genuine operating principle. This farm is being built as a living ecosystem, not a production monoculture.
Native plants established throughout the entire property. Intentional pockets of undisturbed habitat for wildlife, pollinators, and beneficial insects.
No fossil fuel-based fertilizers, no chemical pesticides or herbicides. No-till and soil-life-supporting practices, always.
Every plant placed on the property is researched for ecological fit. The long-horizon planting philosophy mirrors the business: patient, roots-first, built to last.
Designed from ground-level insects up to birds of prey. A farm where nature supports the farm as much as the farm supports nature.
The Name
Minnesotans don’t lament their deep winters. They celebrate four distinct seasons that give the year its rhythm and produce summers of extraordinary beauty.
The name was inspired by the Minnesota Bold North campaign — a spirit that leans into the state’s winter identity rather than apologizing for it. Minnesota’s climate shapes what we plant and when — we work with it, not against it.
