Welcome to my channel Nicolie Flower House! My name is Terren, and I am a cut flower grower and eco-florist. Nicolie Flower House is located on a 1 acre suburban home backyard in zone 7b, where backyard flowers are taken to another level. Come see how these local cut flowers are grown in raised, no dig beds throughout a potager style garden naturally, without pesticides or chemical fertilizers! I grow intensively for maximum cut flower production and beauty. Achieving a gravity fed rainwater irrigation system is goal of mine here at Nicolie Flower House that I plan to work on throughout this year. I also hope to improve my succession planting in hopes of a continuous cut flower harvest during the entire season. Soil and plant health are my top priorities. From how I grow my flowers to how I turn them into works of art, every detail is measured against this standard. Our planet is at the heart of everything I do.
I am also working to innovate new ways to create sustainable floral design. I also hope to showcase how beautiful flowers can be using sustainable methods and to make it mainstream to work with flowers in this way. I grow all of my own flowers making them seasonal, local, and clean. It is with much gratitude that I share my progress and designs with the you. Thank you so much for your interest!
I can't wait to see your next video - such a fascinating way to grow these gorgeous flowers!
Thanks so much 😊 hoping for a big harvest video!
Would you consider doing updates every couple of weeks? I am doing something similar and would be interested in your progress. I am also using 10x20 trays as an experiment for hydroponics tulips since those spike crates are hard to come by. I’ve been rooting mine for the last two weeks but I was wondering at what temp are you rooting your bulbs and are you keeping them in the dark for the first 3 wks?
Yes those crates are hard to find and expensive if you need a lot, but probably easier to use. I like my 10 x 20 trays so far! I can’t give any of my process details since I took a paid class to learn everything I know. I highly recommend The Tulip Workshop 🌷🌷
Inspiring me to try this on a much smaller scale. Wondering if any channels reach out to other channels promoting the education from the book, Flower Confidential by Amy Stewart….kind of like a community reads selection. Just reading one chapter at a time and having a short highlights I put shared with flowers might get the knowledge spread to customers so they avoid the large scale grocers and florists.
That was suppose to read as….highlights shared with followers that don’t know about the sad, behind the scenes industry that you can avoid by purchasing locally grown flowers.
Local flowers are the best! 🌸
I hope you have success. I am trying hydroponic tulips as an experiment as well. I also don't have the proper trays either.
I hope they work for you! My trays are good so far. I’m glad there are others trying alternatives 🌷
Hi Just wondering if you cooled or purchased the. bulbs already. Thanks🌻
I bought pre chilled 😊
How difficult was it to get them out of the tray once they rooted? Have a feeling you ended up tearing them out of the tray…
It was actually very easy to pull them out thankfully
Hello, how are the tulips? I planted a few bulbs for myself at the end of January and one of them bloomed but with a small flower and a very short stem. Do you know why it could be?
Short stems are usually from not enough chill hours on the bulbs. Update video posted today!
Thank you.
