  • Choosing what to grow on your Flower Farm

    Welcome back to Mulch. I can't believe that this is Episode 3! Thank you so much for listening.

    January is as busy as any other moth for FLower Farmers! One of the things that I know that alot of you are doing is checking your seed sowing plan and making a list/ordering new or extra seeds for your collection.

    This episode is to help you to plan and organise how you add varieties to your availability list in a logical and consistent way that limits waste.

    Enjoy!

    I love supporting new FLower Farmers to set up their fields and business. For pragmatic help and problem solving, have a look at our Workshops in January 2024.

    Finally, Antony and I are writing and producing this podcast becase we want to. We want to make it useful and relevant. It takes time to plan, record, edit and upload to all of the platforms. We will continue doing this because we are absolutely loving the process. If you have enjoyed listening to the podcast and fancy buying us a coffee (we are happy to share as we are married!) we would be so grateful. The link for coffee buying is HERE.

    Thank you

  • Wedding Flowers and Flower Farmers - Do we have to do them?

    Welcome back to another Episode of about things that matter to Flower Farmers.

    In this episode:

    I talk about Weddings. I talk about things that were important to Antony and I when we got married and how this is reflected in the work that we do now as DIY wedding providers.

    I tal about what goes in to different sorts of wedding provision and how this impacts your time and therefore what you need to consider when costing a wedding.

    I talk about what brings me joy and the customers that we choose to work with as a result of understanding our own strengths and preferences.

    And finally I as the question - Is wedding work, an essential part of your work as a Flower Farmer?

    I hope that this makes interesting food for thought as we pass through the most common time of year for couples to get engaged.
