In this episode I bring you up to date with The Flower Farmer's Planner and The Flower Farming Business School
I set a small reflective piece of work for you to consider with a cup of tea and a biscuit.
And then I talk about the 5 flowers that I think make you really feel like you are doing the job of a Flower Farmer.
Perhaps this is a slightly giddy episode celebrating the completion of my first summer as a Flower Farmer and parent. It's a little cheeky and I know that you will have other flowers to add or exchange on this list!
