SHOP 2027 TULIP SHARES
The best part of spring, on repeat.
Four weeks of fresh, specialty tulips grown right here in Weston. Four weeks of fresh specialty tulips grown right here in Weston.
The best part of spring, on repeat.
Four weeks of fresh, locally grown specialty tulips from our garden in Weston, with around 20–25 stems each week, wrapped in our signature black kraft paper.
We grow a mix of parrots, doubles, fringed tulips, long-stem varieties and some of the classics too, so every bouquet feels layered, interesting and a little different.
It’s the perfect amount for one beautiful vase of tulips to enjoy all week long.
Choose your color vibe — Light, Bright, Dark or Surprise Me — and we’ll do our best to build your bouquet around that preference based on what’s blooming that week. Exact colors and varieties will naturally shift through the season, which is part of what makes each pickup special.
Pick up each Friday at our Flower Shack in Weston, or choose local delivery in Weston, Fairfield, Wilton or Westport.
A few things to know…
Tulips are weather-dependent, so the exact start of the share can shift a little. We’ll keep you posted as spring gets closer. Stem counts may vary slightly depending on the varieties blooming that week. Some of our specialty tulips are huge, so we build each bouquet to feel full and beautiful rather than obsessing over an exact number.
All flowers are grown by our family in Weston without chemical pesticides. Shares are paid upfront and are non-refundable. If you can’t make a pickup, please send a friend or contact us to work something out. Flowers not picked up by Saturday morning will be donated.

We did the mixing for you
Soft, layered and quietly beautiful.
Named for its creamy, barely-there palette, Crème brings together 15 specialty tulip bulbs in white, ivory, cream, blush, peach and soft pink tones. Designed to be planted together for a coordinated spring display you can enjoy in the garden or cut for the vase.
We chose a mix of classic blooms and fuller, peony-like doubles so the planting feels soft and textured without being too sweet. The varieties are selected to bloom within a similar part of the season, so expect the mix to unfold over a few weeks rather than all at once.
Best expected bloom window in Fairfield County: mid to late April.
This is a pre-order only drop. Orders close Sunday, November 8, with pickup at our Flower Shack in Weston on Friday, November 13 and Saturday, November 14. We’ll email pickup details before your order is ready.

Bright, cheerful and full of personality.

We chose a mix of striped blooms, warm doubles and fringed tulips so the planting feels playful and layered without looking random. The varieties are selected to bloom within a similar part of the season, so expect the mix to unfold over a few weeks rather than all at once.

Why Black Shack
The name comes from the little black shack at the end of our driveway, the place all of this somehow grew around. It’s where projects start, flowers get hauled past, syrup season takes over and someone is usually covered in dirt.
What began as a shed became the center of a much bigger idea: grow more, make more, learn as we go and share it.

The Team
We’re Olivier, Meghan, Alistair and Zylo. In 2021, we traded a tiny NYC apartment for nearly three acres in Weston, Connecticut. We started small: tapping maples for syrup and planting a few window boxes. Then came the garden, the flowers, the bees, the DIY projects and eventually the Flower Shack. Things escalated.
Along the way, Black Shack became more than a hobby. It became a way to raise our kids to work hard, get dirty, stay curious and try things even when we’re not completely sure how they’ll turn out.
Now we get to share what we grow, make and learn with our community. That part has been pretty special.
