Harvest and the Seasons Muse

Since Tania Marines moved to Dixon 11 years ago, she has fully embraced life in the Embudo Valley. Today she and her partner, Ric Gaudet, run One Straw Farm and Tania's business, Season's Muse. Season's Muse features Tania's dried flower arrangements.

Each flower arrangement begins with her careful choices of what to grow in their fields. "I'm very inspired by food crops that have social and cultural and even mystical and medicinal value to New Mexico and the various cultures that have survived and thrived in New Mexico," Tania explains.

She includes food crops in her arrangements, like wheat, corn, and chiles, as well as bright flowers such as zinnia, strawflower, statice and marigolds. Her love for this place is evident in the beauty of her flower fields and her dried flower arrangements, created by hand in Dixon, New Mexico.
