Congratulations! I'm an organic vegetable farmer working in Ohio (from Chicago) and God's timing is so, so good. I manifested a project lead role here at my apprenticeship farm, and I've been given a fully loaded stash of seeds (some Floret ♡), some amazing reads (how I found you) and 1,625 square ft. to create some amazing blooms. Love the process of learning: crop planning, succession planting, flowers in general. Your book and guides have been so helpful to me, and as someone who never imagined being a cut flower farmer, here I am, about to do the dang thing!! Thank you, Erin, and everyone on the team for making accessible and beautiful endless information, tips, anecdotes and inspiration. I'm late to the party, but right on time. Many blessings to you!!

Beautiful, bountifull work your team at Floret is doing. Hard work pays off.
I’ve stumbled on your site through an old issue of Victoria Bliss a month ago. Bought your book and registered for your mini summer course since then. Thanks for all the genourous information! I grow essentially perennials that are deer and rabbit proof on rocky clay and a growing season around 135/150 days ( Lower St-Lawrence River-Quebec ). Hoping to infuse my garden with a few quick growing annuals in a fenced off patch next Spring
A question about your snapdragons : are the hoops just to hold the netting or do you start them out with rowcovers?
Wishing long life to Floret and the beauty you spread worldwide!
Helen, xx

So very exciting and what a fun project to watch unfold! I just spent a month up in Bellingham and what a beautiful area! I am a florist grower on a small property in Ojai California and enjoy year-round Sun so I’m curious how long as you’re growing season?

Hi Erin,
I happened upon your book at our local library and am so impressed by you! I look forward to seeing all you are doing and congrats on your dream farm!

30 year Organic farmer here. We have grown every crop in the market and some more than others. Flowers are our current passion, when not cleaning garlic. Just transplanted all perennials around the property to a large flower garden. They are small and spindly this year but should make a magnificent show next spring. We mix that with Zinnias, Sunflowers, Amaranth and Broom corn. Hope to pick up some Dahlia tips from your blog. I want to incorporate them, as well.
Thanks for all the great info so far. Just found you through an ad on Instagram.
