Becoming a Cut Flower Grower

Pricing: I Don't Know What I'm Doing, Oversharing (Am I?), & Challenges When Prepping For Upcoming Weddings


Listen Later

Hello and welcome to a windy and cloudy Tuesday 15 July 2025.

Today's episode includes a chat about the challenges of prepping for supplying the weddings that I have coming up and the problems I'm having with pricing: it's really hard. I'm not sure I'm getting it right yet, which bothers me. It's also challenging for me to ensure that all the cut flowers that I'm committing to supplying are looking fabulous when my florist comes to collect them, which is not easy in the current conditions.

There is good news with the dahlias and some sad news with the chickens, plus how it's such a weird growing season. And I would really love your help with a problem: when do I tell people that I'm a podcaster and I might talk about an interaction? It's been bothering me that some people may not be happy about me talking so frankly about it: what happens if people don't feel able to say they don't want to be talked about and instead just ghost me? Am I right to share so much in the first place? Help! Please drop me a DM on insta @henhillcutflowers with your thoughts: I'd love to know what you think.

I really hope you enjoy this episode and that you'll come back and join me on Friday's episode.
