📦🌸 THE BOXES ARE MOVING!!!

Heritage tuber orders are officially being packed, shipped and delivered. Our local orders are already starting to head out too, and seeing these little brown boxes finally leaving Heritage HQ feels bloody GOOD 😂💜

BUT WE NEED YOU TO DO ONE IMPORTANT THING:

Please head into Heritage HQ and check your account.

If you already have an HQ account:

Log in

Check that all of your orders are showing

Confirm your order details are correct

Complete the Self Audit if anything is missing or needs fixing

If you don’t have an HQ account yet, please create one at heritagedahlias.nz so we can get your orders matched, confirmed and into the shipping queue.

⚠️ PLEASE DON’T ASSUME WE HAVE EVERYTHING RIGHT.
We have worked through a huge amount of historical order information, but HQ is our final cross-check before your tubers leave us.

If an order is missing, add it through the Self Audit inside HQ. That gives us one tidy place to check it, confirm it and get it packed.

We are working through orders as quickly and carefully as we can, and shipments will continue rolling out from here. 📦📦📦

CHECK HQ. CONFIRM YOUR ORDERS. THEN KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR YOUR HERITAGE BOX. 🌸

The tuber migration has officially begun. 😂💜

🌸 Okay… I owe you all a proper update. 🌸

I’ve been pretty much completely offline this week.

And honestly? I’ve been overwhelmed.

What started as me trying to personally keep everyone updated on their orders has turned into something I physically can’t keep up with anymore. There are just too many orders, too many messages, too many moving pieces, and it’s become incredibly stressful trying to make sure I’m giving everyone the individual communication they deserve.

So first and foremost, I am really, really sorry.

I know communication has been basically non-existent this week. I know some of you are waiting, wondering where your order is, whether your payment has gone through, or whether your order is even there.

It is.

Every single order is safe.

If you have paid and your order is still showing as “not paid”, please don’t panic. We have your order and we will honour it. I promise.

I just need a little breathing room to get through everything properly.

Today I’m going to stop trying to answer everyone individually and instead bring you all along with me.

I’ll be updating throughout the day, showing you the packaging process, the orders, the Heritage office, and the absolute chaos that is currently happening behind the scenes. 😂📦

Because the truth is, Heritage is still a very small business.

It’s me.

And there is a LOT happening.

I care about every order that leaves here. Probably more than I should sometimes. And that’s exactly why this has become so overwhelming.

So please, just give me a little more time.

And a little more faith.

We are not disappearing. Your orders are not disappearing. We are working our absolute guts out to get everything where it needs to go.

I promise you, no one is going to be disappointed.

Thank you for sticking with us.
Thank you for your patience.
And thank you for giving me the space to catch my breath and get this mountain under control.

Right. Enough talking.

Let’s get these bloody boxes packed. 🌸📦

*** picture of beautiful Violet, you cant be mad at that face?

🌸 GOODNIGHT TEAM 🌸

The orchids are up, our FINAL Mystery Boxes are live, and the countdown to shipping is officially on. 📦🌱

We’ve just got a few more things to load into Heritage HQ before we flip the switch and ask you all to jump in and double-check your orders before they head out.

We’re getting there. 💜

Thank you for sticking with us through the madness, the tubers, the orchids and everything in between.

Goodnight team. Big few weeks ahead. x

🐮💙💚 BLUE + BURGER AT HERITAGE

Our tiniest new employees have officially clocked in.

Blue + Burger, our baby Dexter boys, are settling into Heritage life nicely. Their current duties include eating, supervising, getting in the way and looking ridiculously cute while doing absolutely no heavy lifting. 😂

You’ll be seeing plenty more of these two around the farm 🌿

🌸 HERITAGE CUSTOMERS — PLEASE READ + SHARE 🌸

This is our official order, HQ & shipping update and I'll be pinning this post to the top of our page.

If you know someone waiting on a Heritage order, please tag them below or share this with them. ❤️

I need to say this because, between being a mum, running my own home and life, the farm, sorting tubers, auditing orders and trying to answer every single message and email, I physically cannot do everything at once anymore.

I'm not saying that to be rude or dismiss anyone's concerns. Quite the opposite.

We've employed part-time admin help, and if we need more help, I'll get more help. 😂 But right now I need to put my time into actually getting your orders checked, packed and out the door rather than spending hours individually answering the same questions.

🌱 WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?

We are manually loading and auditing every Heritage order into HQ.

Over the next few days you will receive an invitation, OR you can head to heritagedahlias.nz, create your account, and we will load your order into it.

Please don't panic if everything isn't showing yet.

Once our full audit is finished, I will make an announcement telling everyone it's time to check their HQ account.

That's when I want you to check your orders and make sure everything is correct.

Then...

📦 SHIPPING BEGINS!

We're aiming to begin shipping next week, fingers crossed.

🌸 AND WHAT'S MUM DOING?

While I'm drowning happily in admin land, Mum is tirelessly dividing, naming, checking, sorting and loving your tubers.

We've even had some absolutely epic people coming in every week to help Mum handle and prepare your beautiful tubers.

There is a LOT happening behind the scenes.

These aren't tubers being pulled from a warehouse shelf.

They're being divided, identified, checked, handled and packed by actual people who genuinely care about what lands in your garden.

🌿 ONE IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION

Some of you may have already received tubers directly from Mum.

Mum's hobby patch, her private garden and the heart that Heritage grew from are still hers.

If you have purchased directly from Mum AND purchased through Heritage, those are separate orders.

So please don't worry if something from Mum has arrived while you're still waiting for your Heritage box.

And trust me when I say...

HERITAGE BOXES THIS YEAR ARE GOING TO BE EPIC. 👀🌸

Last year I was still sorting missed and lost orders in November.

I hated that.

I've busted my butt ever since rebuilding our systems, HQ and processes because I refuse to have Heritage operate like that again.

That's why I'm being painstakingly careful now.

It's still winter.

Your order hasn't been forgotten.
Your tubers are being cared for.
We're still here.
And we're getting it done.

Please remember that Heritage isn't a giant bulb company with a warehouse, call centre and 30 staff.

We're a family operation with a slightly ridiculous number of dahlias, a hardworking Mum, some wonderful helpers, and me trying to build something that gets beautiful dahlias into gardens all over New Zealand. 😂🌸

So what I need from everyone right now is something pretty simple:

A little trust and a little faith.

Trust me.

Trust Mum.

Trust that we're doing this carefully for a reason.

And most importantly...

Trust why we do this. ❤️

Now get some rest, team.

Give me this weekend to absolutely SMASH out HQ, admin, tuber sorting and packing.

If I still can't answer everybody after that, I promise I'll hire more people ASAP. 😂

Thank you to everyone who continues to show us patience, kindness and support.

We've got you. 🌸

***LIVE NOW AT https://heritagedahlias.nz/dahlias/store

🌸 DAHLIA LOVERS… DO WE LOVE ORCHIDS TOO?! 👀

Because I may have a slight situation 😂

We have 100+ of Nana Jean’s Cymbidium orchid bulbs looking for new homes around NZ.

These beauties are 40+ years old, some of the bulbs are absolutely MASSIVE, and the flowers are incredible. Yellows, whites, soft purples, pinks and magentas, with huge blooms that seem to last forever.

I’m thinking Orchid Mystery Boxes 🌿
At least 8 potted bulbs per box, with most pots containing 2–3 bulbs.

Before I go full Heritage and turn this into another project 😂...

Would you guys actually want them?

If there’s enough interest, I’ll pop a limited number of Mystery Boxes into the Heritage store for you guys. 💚

Comment ORCHID below if you’d be keen! 👇

Image bellow is when first picked and one MONTH later.

Some days I think I’m the one saving them.

Feeding them. Raising them. Sitting beside them when they’re sick. Bringing them home, keeping them safe, loving them through every season.

But the truth is, they save me every single day.

They don’t care what went wrong yesterday, what people think of me, how much I have to do, or how heavy life feels.

They just need me to show up.

And somehow, in showing up for them, I keep showing up for myself too. 🤎

The farm is noisy, muddy, heartbreaking, beautiful chaos.

And these animals have no idea just how many times they’ve quietly pulled me back together.

I might be their person, but they are my therapy. My purpose. My peace. 🌿🐑🐄

Tubers tucked up safe and sound 🌱📦

A little peek behind the scenes at Heritage. Thousands of tubers carefully stored while we work through viability checks, order auditing and getting everyone loaded into HQ.

We’ve chosen to hold onto your tubers through winter so we can manage storage, check them properly and send them out healthy and ready for planting rather than having them sitting around unnecessarily.

📦 Shipping is planned to begin Monday next week.

Not long now, team. The great tuber migration is nearly underway 😂🌸
