The Flower Project

About US

Welcome to The Flower Project! The Flower Project was started by Michael Fraley and Brent Grant in Ferndale, MI. We are an urban flower farm growing flowers for bouquets, events, weddings, and any of your flower needs.

It all started with an idea for a fundraiser to raise money for a local food pantry. We bought 4000 tulip bulbs, and 1000 daffodil bulbs in hopes that people would buy the flowers in the spring. Things went so well people were asking if we would have flowers all year and hence started The Flower Project.

A mini augur is hands down the best way to plant bulbs, especially in an existing garden. They come in a variety of sizes and making planting bulbs so easy! Watch out for roots, rocks, the cord, and anything else that may be buried. And always be careful when using power tools. #augur #miniaugur #daffodil #daffodils #bulb #bulbseason #bulbplanting #springflowers #springblooms #urbanfarming #urbanfarm #urbangarden #urbangardening #flowerfarm #flowergarden #gardensnotlawns
We planted 10,000 tulip bulbs in a single day!!! (Give or take.) I dug both trenches the day before to prep the area, hoping we could finish both rows in one day. I was already feeling under the weather and working out in the cold made it much worse. But there was rain in the forecast and I’d rather get sick than work in the cold rain! I think I earned the rest of the week off. I cannot wait to see all these beautiful blooms in spring! #tulip #tulips #tulipbulbs #bulbs #bulb #planting #flowers #springflowers #autumnplanting #flowerfarm #urbanfarm #farm #garden #flowergarden #gardensnotlawns #smallbusiness #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocal #ferndale #ferndalemichigan #ferndalemi #michigan

Dahlias are definitely a favorite of ours but it is a labor of love! From sorting and labeling the tubers, to the growing season and harvesting, to checking for disease and sanitizing tools, to overwintering the tubers. I recommend growing a few in your personal garden but I highly recommend knowing the full process before you try growing them for cut flowers. #dahlia #urbangarden #urbanfarm #flowerfarm #flower #flowers #ferndale #ferndalemichigan #ferndalemi #smallbusiness #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocal #garden #farm #flowerfarm #flowergarden #flowergram #farmer #gardener #gardensnotlawns
We are thrilled to announce that we bought a flower shop!!! This has been a dream of ours that we thought might never become a reality. Finding the listing when we did was synchronistic, almost like it was meant to be. We are honored to be the next owners of one of the oldest (and the best) flower shops in metro Detroit @tiffanyflorist1973 . We look forward to learning more about the floral business, doing large events, and bringing our flowers into the shop. You can plan on seeing our flowers there starting in the spring as well as at the farmers markets. Brent will maintain our urban farm and help out at the shop for large events and holidays. Michael will be running the shop and helping out in the garden for planting and harvesting days. Thanks to each of you for supporting our journey. We couldn’t have done this without all of you! Stop by and say hi next time you’re in Birmingham, and think of us for all of your floral needs!

Not only is it time for flowers of the week but it’s also bulb season!! We’ve had more deliveries which means more bulbs! Last week we had 13 varieties of bulbs available and this weekend we could have up to 40 varieties!! We’ll be bringing loads of tulips, daffodils, alliums, fritillaria and more! Along with our spooky bouquets. We’ll be at @rofarmmarket Saturday 7am-1pm and at @bhamfarmmkt Sunday 9am-2pm. See you this weekend!
This beautiful bouquet had a very special request, to use our Japanese Anemones! Not a common request nor a common flower. We were so excited when the client asked if we grew any or could get some from the wholesaler. Of course we grow Japanese Anemo
This beautiful bouquet had a very special request, to use our Japanese Anemones! Not a common request nor a common flower. We were so excited when the client asked if we grew any or could get some from the wholesaler. Of course we grow Japanese Anemones! We have only about 75 plants in the ground. Love that the client knows that flower and that we were able to make a beautiful custom arrangement for them. #happyflorist #florist #flowers #japaneseanemone #anenome #urbanfarm #urbanflowerfarm #flowerfarm #farm #garden #bouquet #smallbusiness #supportlocal #supportsmallbusiness #gardensnotlawns #flower
