Love your mind creativity, sensibilities so down to earth non pretentious presenting it is indeed refreshing to see the "Old School" banter still alive and literally kicking!! in this rather plastic digital greedy mess of a world today bless you ...☺xxx.
Wonderful! The arrangement, your words of wisdom, thoughtfulness, knowledge you impart, things to ponder are all gratefully appreciated. Counting my blessings has been something that has kept me going through some very trying times indeed. Being in nature gives me much to be grateful for, just seeing how perfectly designed it all is. Once upon a time people were crafters, making things the best they could, and others willing to pay suitably. In this day of mass production, I appreciate so much the amount of attention to detail work such as yours is and I’d much rather pay for that. Your work is wonderful in all ways.
You are by far the most humerus of all the flower farmers who's vids I watch. A great laugh when there generally isn't much to laugh about. Quite like your business philosophy. Very good stuff when all is said and done.
Your videos are great company as I race to finish Christmas knitting. I also have aromatic geranium near my front path, and brushing against it , or consciously rubbing it between my fingers , has become almost a daily habit.Now I know that I have been self medicating all along!You have inspired me to bring some in to work , in a hectic hectic health clinic.Thank You!
I do absolutely love your channel!! I’m currently off work caring for my mom, so I cannot buy you a coffee, but I wanted to show my gratitude for you and you generosity of your tips and tricks!! Of all the channels out there on floristry and flower farming, I love your style !!!! Your ethos - your style - your commentary- your entertaining way of demonstration - I just love it all! Even tips for mental health!! ALSO, a thank you to Googie!! I love her advice and tips and tricks as well, I absolutely love her!! Your mum has even helped me to be more tidy!! DONT PUT IT DOWN, put it AWAY!!! I say this to myself all the time now!!! So- THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!
Gorgeous 'Twiggery Pokery' arrangement. The various shades of green look stunning. Thank you very much for sharing and all your very useful hints and tips. Big fan of mindfulness and showing gratitude each and every day from the very smallest of things. A big thank you to you. Best wishes
Came for the twiggery pokery, stayed for the anti-capitalist rant 👌👌👍👌😍 (And I don't mean rant in a neg way, I agree 200%) xx And what a beautiful end result! How gorgeous 😍
ALL of my Christmas gifts will come from small businesses. I totally agree 👍. BTW, I took your 30 stem challenge today and came up with the most beautiful arrangement. Thank you for all that you share.
Hi, Georgie, I totally agree with you, I always try to patronize small businesses, they're the backbone of the economy, and I totally get that they're unable to offer significant discounts because they just can't do the volume that the big chains do. And I truly appreciate the quality and attention to detail that offset a so-called bargain. Happy Thanksgiving from New York 🧡🦃🧡
Remembering when the Black Friday phenomenon for retail in the 1960's, it seemed like it was a way for business to liquidate all their holiday merchandise at a discount rate. Moving on to the periods of recession, Black Friday became a way for business to move slow merch because of tight money and deals were mind blowing, including now the Cyber Monday. But in periods of prosper and people have more discretionary income to spend, the deals have been not as good as during lean times. I mean I got a new phone for $.01 for goodness sake and I certainly haven't seen deals like that in recent years. I'll do on line sales but I'm not going into the stores and fight the crowds for some impulse buy. We usually make a list and early Friday morning scan for the products we want to buy. But I came here for the twiggery pokery part. =)
The "high tech ness" indeed! :) Taking time to be thankful is a very good mental health exercise. I'm thankful for that lovely arrangement and for your attention to detail and the resulting preservation of hotel guests' vision.
Hi Georgie! Hope you’re well! Loved your Black Friday rant! Totally relatable as a flower grower/florist, I already am doing the best price possible, every day! 🙌🏼 gorgeous arrangement too, very elegant, cheers, Anita 💐💞
Thank you for this! I had hip replacement and am so tired of being stuck in the house. I am missing going out an foraging so watching you has just lifted my spirits! 😊
it's an old bit of folk lore that you keep bay by the door to keep witches away - that's why people have bay trees by their front doors (even if they don't know it!) x
I have a tall chunky green glass vase of a “rusty” variety of sedum (drying) in the center of our fall/Thanksgiving table. I love the dark red and eventually rusty blooms.
Hello Aunty Pippa, I live in Kirkland! Happy Thanksgiving to you! I'm going to make a "twiggery pokery" arrangement today with these great suggestions! Great suggestions for greens and the pokery part is amazing!! 🦃 Thanks!
Have you gotten any new ideas for your farm from visiting other flower farmers that you may want to implement on your farm?? I am Thankful that I found your channel ❣️ Happy Thanksgiving 🙏🏼
A seedcompany in scandinavia has black seed day, (svart Frødag) a wordplay on friday frø=seed. 30% on all seeds , maybe it was last season seeds to make room for next season. But still a good deal. So that was the only black friday deal for me!
I would like to 'Buy you a cup of coffee' but cannot work out to do so. Should you have a link somewhere? You and Jason Croutch (Fraser Valley Rose Farm) are my favourite down to earth, sensible, and with a clear opinion, youtubers. Just be yourself! Irene, Amsterdam
Yep - it's just ANY excuse to push their stuff... The thing is, there should be a Thanksgiving Day before it, which there ain't in Australia (or the UK I imagine). Consumers are treated like mugs.
I refuse to purchase things from the company that starts with an A and has a P membership. I don't believe that is fair to anyone, including, possibly, some poor overworked person in China. I try to buy local, support small businesses and work toward a more joyful world for us all. I have told people in my life that I'm not buying Christmas gifts except for my immediate family and if I had workers, I would buy for them (but I don't). Great philosophy. BTW, you look wonderful in those colors. A very nice outfit.
@@theflowerfarmer yup, a friend was watching the prices for buying an iwatch, and it was more expensive on BF discount than the weeks before in the same stores at their normal prices... And so they don't only trick their customers, but they also steal customers from smaller shops that try to make an honest living.

The whole Christmas commercialism is beyond me now. I’ve opted out and feel much less stress for doing so.
and breathe... x

What a lovely idea to find 5 things to be grateful for 🤗definitely nature is top of the list
So true! x

thank you Anita x
Beautiful. I really like you, Georgi!!!! 😊Have a blessed day.
and you x
Beautiful. I can’t believe you can make something so pretty out of what I would have once considered a dead/dormant garden. Love it.
Thank you so much! x
Thank you for this! I had hip replacement and am so tired of being stuck in the house. I am missing going out an foraging so watching you has just lifted my spirits! 😊
hurrah! x
So thankful for you, your amazing courses, and delightful videos. Absolutely love every single second and syllable. Thank you so much. 🌿🎋
You are so welcome! x
Loved the arrangement - all texture and shapes. But, Georgie please tell us more about growing bay by the front of the house to keep the witches away.
it's an old bit of folk lore that you keep bay by the door to keep witches away - that's why people have bay trees by their front doors (even if they don't know it!) x
@@theflowerfarmer thanks so much for taking the time to reply, Georgie. Don’t know how you find the time.
Happy Thanksgiving....God bless Georgie

I have a tall chunky green glass vase of a “rusty” variety of sedum (drying) in the center of our fall/Thanksgiving table. I love the dark red and eventually rusty blooms.

Found it!
thank you - glad you found it x
🎉🎉🎉🎉
thank you x
How long will an arrangement like this "last"?
Several weeks x
I can't stand black friday. It is just an absolute rip off and it isn't just friday, goodness knows how long it goes on. 👍😊
Or cyber Monday!! Who invents these things??
Yep - it's just ANY excuse to push their stuff... The thing is, there should be a Thanksgiving Day before it, which there ain't in Australia (or the UK I imagine). Consumers are treated like mugs.
luckily my email's been down since Thursday lunchtime which is stressful in some ways but in others not at all - I've missed all that marketing x

You are clearly a good person x
a lot of the big compagnies that do BF, first raise their prices and then do a fake discount...
that's shocking! x
