Those plants included sunflow
ers, statice and cockscomb. Herbs
that were suitable for drying were
planted also.
She and Fred said that they
learned a lot during their first year
as flower growers.
“It takes a lot of work cutting
the flowers and getting them ready
for drying. One of the things we
discovered is that to Preserve the
color they need to be dried in high
heat in a short amount of time,”
Rose said.
The loft of the Carriage House,
which the couple built last year,
seems to be the perfect spot for
that.
years running the local farmers
market.
With those jobs behind them,
Rose suggested one day, “Why
don’t we turn our vegetable gar
den into a flower garden for dried
flowers?”
So, Rose said, they grew an
acre of flowers that they felt would
be good for drying. Some of the

Along with the perfect building
for drying them, the flowers are
grown in a perfect setting on the
Dinners’ farm, which was built in
1754 when Shippensburg was on
the colonial frontier.
For the Dillners the busy sea

season.

“I try to get really interesting
ribbon that you would see on the
arrangements from the florist
shops,” she said.
The containers she uses are
unique also. Many of the antique
containers have come from as far
away as Massachusetts and Ohio,
although many of them are of local
origin.
The Dillners have made a point
of traveling to some very unique
antique fairs in other states to get
the containers.
The Dillners are planning to
make their new enterprise no more
than a part-time occupation
because they want to leave plenty
of time to enjoy their retirement.
Rose said she and Fred Plan to
have only seasonal openings at the
Carriage House so they can pursue
their other interests, including
going to antique fairs.
One of those openings ends at 6
p.m. today (December 3). Other
openings are scheduled for 9 a.m.
to 6 p.m. April 7 and 8 and from 9
a.m. to 6 p.m. July 7 and 8.
The Carriage House is located
at Blythstead, the Dinners’ home,
at 217 Means Hollow Road just
outside of Shippensburg.
