It’s January in western Mass., so it’s time for…flowers? This week, Monte, Kaliis, and Claire visit Lyle and Ryan Williams at Bramble and Blooms in Granby.

Listen in to learn about forcing tulips in winter, the contrast between locally grown flowers and the global flower market, and how a quest for a creative outlet marries passion in growing flowers for the local community–all while balancing a straight job in business.
