Ep 115 - Your First Sale - Now What?
Your first sale is a rush—then the real questions begin. In this episode, we step into the greenhouse to talk through what “next” actually looks like on a working flower farm, from seed starting and temperature control to season extension and crop timing. We also get honest about reinvesting early profits and why scaling too fast—without the right infrastructure—can quietly stall your growth. From hoop houses and irrigation to hard lessons in crop timing, we share what expansion really costs ...

Ep 114 - Toxic vs Tail-Safe: A Veterinarian Explains Garden & Bouquet Risks
A single flower can turn into an ER-level problem when you live with a curious cat or a dog that treats the yard like a buffet. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Maddie Schofield of Chestertown Animal Hospital to walk through the real risks hiding in spring gardens and everyday arrangements—from toxic plants and fertilizers to the subtle symptoms that signal when something isn’t right. We break down what to watch for and how to respond with clarity instead of panic. Inside the home, we focus...

Ep 113 - Edible Florals - What to Buy and Plant Now For a Great Harvest!
Edible flowers can be a high-margin win or a frustrating source of waste—it all depends on whether you grow them with a plan. In this episode, we show you how to design an edible flower garden around function and end use, so every plant has a purpose beyond “pretty.” From flavor and shelf life to harvest windows and yield, we break down how to choose varieties that actually perform in the kitchen and in the market. We also map out the system behind the stems—fresh versus dried products, succe...

Ep 112 - Ellen Frost - Local and Sustainable Flowers
Most people never see the system behind a bouquet, which is exactly why local flowers can feel “impossible” to source. In this episode, I sit down with Ellen Frost of Local Color Flowers to unpack how she built a regional wholesale hub that connects growers and florists, proving American-grown flowers can compete when logistics and education align. We explore how an industry shaped by imports lost its sense of seasonality and what it takes to rebuild it. From weekly buying rhythms and post-ha...

Ep 111 - Spring Clean-Up Of Your Garden - What To Trim And What To Keep
Spring hits and suddenly we want to cut everything down and make the garden look “done”—but that’s often how plants get damaged, pollinator habitat disappears, and weeds take over. In this episode, we take a smarter approach to spring cleanup, grounded in one simple truth: not everything that looks dead is dead, and timing matters more than tidiness. You’ll learn what to cut now, what to compost, and when disease means removal—not recycling. We also focus on what to leave, from hollow stems t...

Ep 110 - “Market Booth Magic: How We Stop Shoppers in Their Tracks”
Most shoppers don’t walk into a farmers market planning to buy flowers—and that’s exactly why your booth matters more than you think. In this episode, we break down what actually makes people stop, look, and buy, with practical strategies that cut through the noise of a busy market. From layout and product grouping to signage and pricing, we show how to create a booth that feels clear, magnetic, and easy to shop. We also get into the human side of selling—your presence, your energy, and how s...

Ep 109 - Farmers Market Politics - Things You Never Thought of and How to Survive
Farmers markets look like pure community—until you start selling. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the unspoken rules, quiet competition, and real dynamics vendors navigate each week, especially for flower farmers and florists who thought the job was simply growing beautiful blooms. From booth placement and category limits to the tension that starts when customers compare a $30 bouquet to an $18 one, we talk honestly about how to hold your value without racing to the bottom. We al...

Ep 107 - What Soil Tests Actually Tell You
Soil test results can feel like a page of random numbers—and too often they lead to guesswork or overcorrecting. In this episode, I walk you through what a soil test actually tells you (and what it doesn’t), so you can turn those results into smart, balanced decisions that improve growth, stem quality, yield, and vase life. From pH and nutrient roles to the common mistake of treating recommendations like a recipe, we bring clarity to what really matters. We also go beyond the lab report into ...
