• how she turned her passion for gardening into a business
• the importance and benefit of a solid educational foundation
• how she chooses content for Instagram stories
• growing flowers for wedding couples
• the logistics of growing 100% of the flowers she uses in weddings
• how she and her husband, Neil, manage the business and farming responsibilities
• the layout and function of the Swan Cottage facilities and gardens
