So this was the unasked question in the room yesterday at the Seeds of Change workshop that I ran for Flower Farmers who want to grow their Flower Farms and transition into a full time career as a Flower Farmer.
In this episode, we move past the obvious answer, which is 'yes'! I ask the direct question that relates to you and your career intentions.
And I pose some areas for reflection.
Let me know what you think. And subscribe to the channel and leave a review.

Welcome back.
Books help you to learn, to dream and to grow. They also help to frame your personal wants needs. Finally books help you to work out who you are and who you are not.
These choices all influence my FLower Farming practice in one way, or another. Enjoy.

Welcome back to Mulch. I can't believe that this is Episode 3! Thank you so much for listening.
January is as busy as any other moth for FLower Farmers! One of the things that I know that alot of you are doing is checking your seed sowing plan and making a list/ordering new or extra seeds for your collection.
This episode is to help you to plan and organise how you add varieties to your availability list in a logical and consistent way that limits waste.
Enjoy!

Welcome back to another Episode of about things that matter to Flower Farmers.
In this episode:
I talk about Weddings. I talk about things that were important to Antony and I when we got married and how this is reflected in the work that we do now as DIY wedding providers.
I tal about what goes in to different sorts of wedding provision and how this impacts your time and therefore what you need to consider when costing a wedding.
I talk about what brings me joy and the customers that we choose to work with as a result of understanding our own strengths and preferences.
And finally I as the question - Is wedding work, an essential part of your work as a Flower Farmer?
I hope that this makes interesting food for thought as we pass through the most common time of year for couples to get engaged.
