Love this women helping women, what a concept. We need more. It s eye opening to see all the struggle flower farms go through. It makes me appreciate people who sell flowers.
It's very very very very very very good!!together!!Thank you so much To ALL and a lot of information about that 🎹🎺🎻🎸🎷📯🎛🎤🎚🎼🕪📣📢🎶🎵🎧🕭🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇾🇪⛪🏛🏕🌏🌐🗺🏡🏠⚽⚾🏀🏈🏷🎫🎁🎀🎖🎗🎞🏉🎃🎄🎆🎈🐱🐺🐎🐴🐖🐷🐫🐪🐩🐕🐆🐅🐶🐒🐯🦁🐵🐈🐽🦄🐮🐏🐑😎😃😂😁😀😅😆😥😣🙂😏
What a lovely group of flower women, I so enjoyed hearing about the ups and downs of flower farm life. I would so be doing this if I had the space. I love flowers and seeing the faces of people enjoying them. Surprising someone with an unexpected bouquet is so much fun. I admire the time, thoughtfulness and energy not to mention the investments, the four of you are putting into your flower farms. Looking forward to tours of each farm and seeing each of the women at home in their flower farm. Thanks so much for the video!
We live and garden on 2 beautiful acres in Michigan, we aren’t flower farmers and don’t grow anything to sell, but I really enjoy watching and hearing about your flower farming. I know it’s an incredible amount of work but flowers bring an incredible amount of joy and happiness to our lives, thanks for sharing the joy.
These two videos were awesome and very informative. Definitely looking forward to your "stories" series. Doing research for my own adventure and you already have been, and continue to be, a wealth of information - not to mention a great inspiration. Best of luck, keep making videos (pleeease) and God bless :))
Yay! You posted it right before my big bulb order! I was just going to do seeds, but decided to invest about $300 in bulbs. Hopefully I do well, and next year I get a business license & can get bulbs a lot cheaper!
Absolutely loved this 2-part discussion and the inspiration you ladies provided. Thank you very much for sharing this moment with us all! Very inspiring :)
This is such valuable information. Like exactly! I can not to convert 7 to zone 5a(Chicago). Just hearing what you guys are growing in similar zones it’s really helpful and learning 4 options of how to use flowers in your business. I seriously could listen to you guys talk all day. I can’t wait to see you visit their farms.
Oh, my goodness ☺️🌸 I am so looking forward to this. For a few seconds I was like a deer in headlights than it dong. Like Dong!!! Live chat....Wahoo !!!!🌻🌸🌺🌹
Thank you so much to all of you ladies. A great series of very informative talks. I am in a zone 4a (sometimes a 3 as one nursery worker told me my first year here) so finding others who farm in cool climates is awesome.
grew the sunfinity sunflowers this year, and a suncredible - Proven Winner, the suncredible out performed the sunfinity for us, and have outlasted the sunfinity at my home in IL z5b, just an fyi, realize the PW are a sterile plant, but they did just beautiful, HTH
Lloyd where did you find the suncredible sunflowers? I looked both at stores and Online and couldn’t find them but I think maybe it was too late in the season?
Another great conversation, enjoyed this one too! Suncredible was AMAZING! Very productive, branching variety. Went through four nights of upper 20s in September and they kept going. I highly recommend Sunrich Provence. They did so well for us here in 4b. I appreciated the feedback about the workshops you've all attended.
I recently invested in the Floret course and can hardly wait till it starts in January. I'll be a "Grad of 2021!" (The cost is actually just a couple dollars shy of $2,000.)
Once again great to hear from other people and see what they are doing on their farms. Who is Dave Dowling? I have looked in vain for RUclips videos or books but the only person I can find someone called Charles Dowling. Is it the same person? Finally, I’m afraid I can’t afford to sign up for these courses but I have listen to Lisa Mason Ziegler lives and I watched florettes free videos. Both of them are full of great information. But I find that Floret’s style of teaching works better for me. Happy trails my flower friends. I look forward to the next installment.
Dave Dowling is a former flower farmer who now is the Cut Flower Rep for Ednie Gloecknee Bulb Company. He also teaches a flower farming course available on the Gardenersworkshop.com
Try growing the celosia in your high tunnel/greenhouse - that is where they thrive. Vincent's Choice sunflowers are good ones too. Thanks for doing this - it was great!! Come visit Iowa! #notjustcornandbeans
Awe! Thank you ladies so so much for your time and tips. Would you be able to list the courses in your comments? I didn’t catch Lisa’s last name. Thank you.
@@FlowerHillFarm I don't think I have ever grown them before or don't remember. Lol I did 5 different varieties this year and loved them! I really want to grow a ton next year. I loved being able to give them away to friends and family. "Ruby Eclipse" was my favorite this year.
That would be a question for Kara of Spring Creek Lavender. I'm not growing any! Technically I have Little Russian Spire Sage plants, which look and smell like lav. They are zone 4.
@@FlowerHillFarm I’m just catching up. Great topic choice. As this is, The great debate for me atm... where to focus initial investments for maximum benefit. I think my next big investment purchase will be a greenhouse.., my sunroom has run out of room and so has my walkout basement.. hubby doesn’t want to lose the garage too! 😆💞🌱✌🏻💐
That's huge, I had no idea. Although it would be great to have people on our property for tours, events and workshops in the future - 300 per month, $3,600 per year... that and the tractor cost are serious outlays. I appreciate your great conversation and definitely buying lisanthrus spring 2021!!!! Warm regards Jennie in Oneonta NY
Great Video!!! I like your stuff and I am subscribed. but, just an advice, you should stop checking your phone when you are in an interview. It's minor and the guests probably don't mind but it's rude - looking and makes me feel like you don't really care about what the guests are saying. I know you do. it just comes off that way. the interviews doesn't have to be professional and I like the casual vibe but...... the phone makes you look jumpy.
Ha! I understand what you mean but as the host of the video, all of my notes for what we were talking about and the next questions were on my phone and that is what I am looking at! As a television host for 15 years it is second nature for me to be one step ahead of the conversation!
Can you make a new video with you ladies and update us on your businesses?
THANKS Flower Friends. I really enjoyed having coffee with you this morning.
Our pleasure!
Love this women helping women, what a concept. We need more. It s eye opening to see all the struggle flower farms go through. It makes me appreciate people who sell flowers.
LOVE seeing all these WOMEN!!! I am African and it is the women that work the land. We have more in common than what that separates us.

I feel like such a stalker today but this was soooooo good I just had to thank you for putting this chat together 😍
This is gold! Thank you for sharing!

You all are amazing and very beautiful! Thanks for all the info. I love the video
My son and daughter-in-law live minutes from Love ‘n Fresh Flowers. Had no idea she was so esteemed in the flower world ❤️🌸
She’s one of the originals. She teaches courses and holds workshops!
I was so excited to hear everyone share about taking the courses and then you guys got sidetracked about weddings. Lol.
Yea-- sorry about that. I didn't realize until I was editing-
I just rewatched this. I love hearing about everyone's experiences, successes and failures. Are you going to do this again this year? I hope so!
Great video girls!! Thank you!
Really enjoyed this chat series. My gardens are small with only 3-5 same plants each for my personal use but love all the tips. Thanks for sharing

Hi there from Bramhall near Manchester in the UK
Hello 🧤🧤💐💐👒👒
Hello my dear flower friends The Wilky and Pamela Kilgus 🌻🌸🌺
Loved both of these!
If you find the hospital trays to flimsy, perhaps it's an idea to use 2 on top of each other to make it more sturdy?
Thank you so much to all of you ladies. A great series of very informative talks. I am in a zone 4a (sometimes a 3 as one nursery worker told me my first year here) so finding others who farm in cool climates is awesome.
I wish we knew each other in real life! I feel you a nice person to be around!
Thank you GG!
Yes, thank you so much again for sharing all this information!,
Great video ladies, awesome tips and tricks 👌 keep up the good work 😊
Thank you Melissa!

Charles Dowding is a fabulous veg grower! A must watch if you also like vegetable gardening and he's got great info on no dig gardening.
Charles is one of my favorites!
Hydrangeas are so easy to propagate as long as you don’t want the patented ones, once you have one you can make lots more
Great insight into the business considerations ! Thank you, great as always.
New to your channel.
I really enjoyed this series you did with these flower farmers.
Do more!
Thank you! Will do!
So good! Thank you. Need part 3!
Right! We are going to meet up again this winter for more chats!
How about growing pumpkins and opening farm for Halloween.
Nice Video!
Glad you enjoyed it

Yayyyy its up!!!
As soon as I have some quiet time, I will be watching this video! Can't wait! Where can I find "part 1" video?
Right here! ruclips.net/video/y0R0PhYJ8GE/видео.html

Sure, Lisa Mason Zeigler is a leading farmer in the flower industry and offers courses. Her website is gardenersworkshop.com
You are the best are responding to comments. Thank you!
Procut Horizon is supposed to be an upward facing bloom from the procut series
I think I remember hearing that- great- now I have MORE things to order 😂🌻
Wow 20 acres??!! Your sitting on a cut flower farm gold mine 😁🌻🌼
They are very common for cut flowers. I'm not sure they are the best! I grow them and a few other varieties.

How do you grow eucalptus for cutting, is it just the amount you grow...does it need to be pinched? mine get 1 long stem, not a bushy plant
What temp do you keep your coolers and flower fridges?
Hi Mary, I keep mine at 37 F

Really nice, thank you, but it would have been nicer in a more protected and quieter space. Just sayin'.
We totally agreed but-- as with most things--- hindsight! We didn't know what we were working with until we got there.
