Happy Holidays to everyone!

The farm is open by appointment this time of year as the cut-flowers are mostly foliage, tree branches and short stuff in the cold wet “off season”. Creative arrangers can find great stuff if they want to brave the weather 🙂

We still have unlimited volunteer opportunities. No experience required. That said, someone who likes to fix chainsaws, riding lawnmowers (and our train) or do chainsawing could be super handy 🙂

The products Kelly designs and sells on the website are always available. The deadline for getting stuff before Christmas is getting very close as I write this. We do have great stuff for all seasons 🙂

When we get rains, the river will rise. It can be fun to walk down and see it when it gets full and powerful.

And, we still have fire piles to burn. Some covered by plastic so we can uncover them and have a fire anytime we want 🙂

Winter can be great for bubbles! We can have a fire and host birthdays and such at the farm for weather-hardy folks 🙂 Sadly, our lack of a bathroom for the public is still an issue to overcome. We have one “under construction”, but it is one of those everlasting “Kelly projects” that will take quite a while unless we get a volunteer or two that want to help make it happen quicker. Big Bubbler can always travel to your local park or lawn for a party, but he does like bubbling here at Wet Rock Gardens!

Happy Holidays from the Wet Rock Gardens flower farm Family and Friends 🙂

Flower Farm Volunteer Event Going Until Sept. 10th

The farm is having a volunteer event with extra benefits to try to clean up Ice Storm damage from 2 winters ago before a Fed deadline for disaster relief. If you can access Face Book the event is here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1030690295931495/?active_tab=discussion and the Farm is here: WRG on Facebook

The red circled areas need to be cleared before the Fed’s come look at the farm. We have cleared most of them already.

Clearing usually includes some cutting/raking of blackberries to get to the sticks we are piling up to burn

Firepit on the river great for car or rv or tent camping while volunteering.

Free U-Pick flowers and fruit for volunteers! Please bring a bucket or other containers 🙂

Free Cool Rock for volunteers

Stay long enough and we should entertain you with bubbles 🙂 Let Kelly know if that sounds fun . …

Big Bubbler’s Sunrise Show at the Oregon Country Fair was crazy in 2025, see video below. Maybe 1,000 people and like 100 making bubbles. 3 mobile DJs set up in different parts of the show at the same time 🙂 Big Bubbler on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100058740192847

Off to the Oregon Country Fair this weekend

OCF Flower Crew here cutting and prepping all week. Now delivering fresh cut flowers to stages and such in the middle of the night while it is cooler and less crowded. Fair runs Friday through Sunday with our annual OCF-staff-only Big Bubble show around 4:30 am Sunday morning until the sun dries off the dew and the big ones mostly stop working… Sadly, the public cannot get in that early. There will be lots of mostly smaller bubbles around the fair for the public as well of course 🙂

Knee Surgery Tomorrow (2/6/25)

Customer service may be spotty for a few days or possibly weeks. I have a laptop and should be able to visit here as needed in a few days. All the Printful-printed stuff (98% of the stuff in the store here) is set up to automatically get printed, sewn and shipped within days of any order. So, you should not need me for anything except mentioning I hope you will review your purchase (if you love it) and maybe send in photo(s) we can show others… since we can’t afford to buy most of our own stuff to get real-life photos. I did get a hat and will try to get pics when the sun is out and my knee allows 🙂

Thanks for checking out the shop!

Happy New Year! :-)

Super excited about my new dried flowers art I am applying to products. I am only about half way through creating and adding them to the shop, but I had to let out the news! So here is a sampling of the latest stuff…

This is not the new stuff… Shockingly different than my usual designs but I like this dress inspired by a computer game I have played for many years.

Also not the new dried flower art and also inspired by a computer game.

OK, Here is the new mind-blowing line of green-bud photo mosaic designs !!! This search should take you to the products I have up on the shop: https://wetrock.com/WRGwp/?s=Nugz&post_type=product Photos from a popular and now reformed darknet/darkweb weed seller previously known as “NW Nugz” on Silk Road and other marketplaces.

Early December

I hope everyone’s holidays are going well ! It is cold and wet at the Farm. I am trying to get out and continue clearing the storm damage from last January but the days are short and cold and wet, LOL. I have made good progress though.

Big Bubbler has not been bubbling much since the Great “Unknown Realms” festival in September. He hopes to get his second knee fixed in February.

I am spending a lot of time indoors, of course…

My latest Art for product designing is my “Stony Wall” made from pictures of the pillars holding up my local hospital’s front entrance. All the stuff I create with that art should end up in my “Rock Shop” https://wetrock.com/WRGwp/product-category/rock-stone-bark-wood/ As with all my art, I can put it on whatever compatible products people want me to.

Another recent theme has been Christmas stuff which I have in “Current Events” https://wetrock.com/WRGwp/product-category/current-events/ If you want stuff by Christmas, please order earlier than you think you need to. My stuff is printed, sewn, packed and shipped after you order it which usually takes a few days and this is a busy time for the printers and the postal carriers …

I have been doing a bunch of “Dark Santa” themed items for people looking for something other than red and white. I think they are all in current events but gathered together here as well: https://wetrock.com/WRGwp/product-category/current-events/dark-santa-collection/

I really like my new “Iron Plated” art that also came from pictures I took at the nearby hospital. This search for iron should show what I have made from that so far: https://wetrock.com/WRGwp/?s=iron&post_type=product

“Iron Plated” joins my personal favorite “Armor” designs that include “Stony Wall”, “Mossy Concrete Rubble” and “Holey Stainless Steel”

Here are some more recent favorites:

Some support for people with “Eye Lash Mites” (Demodex) or Canker Sores

I know of 2 Facebook Pages on these two topics that may be helpful to some people. I post it here to try to help anyone affected find these pages.

Canker Sores

I can’t promise they are professional or well researched. Just opinions to consider if you are looking for info.

Sept. 23 Update:

More photos in the “Realms Unknown 2024” album on Big Bubbler’s Facebook Page.

Update: Surgery postponed, So I should be around if you need me 🙂

Back from the Unknown Realms Festival. Was great bubbling as expected 🙂 Getting Knee-replacement surgery tomorrow. Will be away from the computer a lot over the next month or so. You can still order things here as most of my products are either U-Pick or automatically printed and shipped by Printful. If you have any problems, I may be slow responding over the next month or so. You can contact Printful if it is their fault and they should authorize you to return the item for free replacement. Sorry for any inconvenience.
