It’s great to get an update from Gracie about Grace Rose Farm and how they’ve faced the many challenges of 2020. They have big plans for the next few months and I’m excited to share this latest conversation on The Flower Podcast.

Some background about Gracie and Ryan:

What began with a few beautiful rose images shared on Instagram blossomed into a beautiful story!  Gracie Poulson of Grace Rose Farm shares her floral journey on an earlier episode. See link below. From early childhood to dragging her rose pots into her New York apartment for the winter, Gracie has always had a soft spot for roses. Along with her husband Ryan, the two have grown her love of roses into a remarkable business specializing in organically grown old fashioned garden roses. Gracie shares her rose journey, business and rose advice, and pivoting during the effects of COVID-19.

We're excited to have Gracie as our guest again this week on this special episode of The Flower Podcast and here's a link to their first episode.
