Visit the Farm
Grey Dog Flowers is a small, seasonal flower farm located in Mills River, North Carolina, just outside of Asheville.
My name is Ilana Williams (find out more about me here) and everything I grow, host, and offer happens right here on the farm, from U-Pick flowers and on-farm workshops to limited releases and local delivery.
If you’re wondering where I’m located, what areas I serve, or whether a visit makes sense for you, the Location & Service Area page has all the practical details (plus directions).
Spring Seedling Sale
This spring, I’m offering preorder seedling flats grown here and ready for transplant at the right time. Choose from curated flats of cutting flowers, vegetables, or herbs, selected for real-world success.
Want to grow flowers, veggies, or herbs this season without starting everything from seed?
It's. Self. Care. (The Real Kind)
You spend your days moving between work and home, answering emails while keeping a dozen other things in the air, and you can’t help but wonder if “balance” is just a polite word for “survival.”
A handful of fresh blooms on the table is a quiet reminder: you’re smart, capable, funny, and a gift to the world - and despite the chaos, you’re handling it.
Not because you’re trying to be perfect, or impress anyone.
But because you deserve something beautiful to look at while you drink your coffee in peace and claim four whole minutes of silence that belong only to you.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do I need a special occasion to buy flowers?
Not at all. Most people stop by simply because they want their home to feel better. Flowers aren’t for milestones only - they’re for Tuesdays, too.
2. Is this going to feel expensive or over-the-top?
No. The farm stand is designed to be approachable. You can grab a simple bouquet, pick your own stems, or join the CSA if you want something steady and seasonal.
3. I’m not “creative.” Can I still take a workshop?
Absolutely. Workshops are relaxed, welcoming, and beginner-friendly. You don’t need talent - just hands and a willingness to try.
4. I’m busy. Is this easy?
Yes. The stand is grab-n-go. The CSA runs on a simple schedule. Workshops are straightforward to sign up for. Beauty without extra mental load.
5. What makes your flowers different from the grocery store?
They’re locally grown, seasonal, and cut for character - not uniformity. They last longer, feel more alive, and actually reflect the season you’re in.
6. Where are you located and when are you open?
You’ll find the farm stand in Mills River. Hours and seasonal details are listed here so you always know when to stop by.
