Erin,
I was genuinely unaware of the deadline for the scholarship to take online classes for the flower workshop. If allowed the opportunity to do so it will truly be an honor!
I’ve been following you for about 2 years now and you aspired me to sell fresh flowers at my local community farmers markets. Recently, I was able to acquire property on 2 acres of land in which I will be growing my own pretty soon and I’m super excited to take my business to the next level especially after my manager walked in my office last week and ended my job assignment stating that I am destined to do exceptionally well in the fresh flower business. My target clients are brides so I would be growing more of poms poms, dahias, lilies, etc.
I am up for the challenge and ready to grow more flowers, more flowers, and more flowers.

Thank you so much, Erin, for paying it forward with your online courses. I am so grateful to have your knowledge at my fingertips, whether it be your blog, website, instagram and, of course, your book. I am excited to be able to take your online mini courses, and whoever wins the scholarships for your online workshop will be truly blessed. Thanks again.

I love everything floret! Erin has great taste! I’m honestly severely sick with jealousy & envy when I’m on floret’s blog. I want so bad what Erin has!!
I’m a recovering addict. Im approaching my tenth year in recovery. With a lot of hard work & heart ache, I put down the drugs & picked up a flower habit. Now, I live, eat & breath gardening . I have been for 8 1/2-9 years now. I want to use my land & barn to start a flower farm. As of right now, it’s only a hobby. which keeps me clean & grounded. The problem is, i feel held back living in Florida. My sands full of root knot nematodes. The heat & humidity is brutal here! There’s so many flowers I want to grow which only wither in our humidity. It breaks my heart! For all who grow in other states, be thankful! Florida is a world of its own! Like living in the Amazon or Malaysia I want to move so bad it hurts but I’m stuck here for a long time! My fiancé runs a plating company his parents built from scratch. I feel like I’ve put my calling aside for my family & fiancé! I feel so limited living here in Florida. I can’t describe the sorrow I feel bc I don’t know how to overcome the obstacles of growing in this state. I never cared for gardening . I was always meant to be a nurse! However, over the past few years I truly feel God’s telling me this is what I’m meant to do!! I feel it in my bones, my being & my soul ! Whoever lives further noth than Florida be thankful!! Good luck to those of you who applied for the scholarship!!!! If you don’t win may God bless your business in other ways! Happy gardening everyone !!! ?

I am so excited and grateful to experience your mini online courses. I have 25 acres in PA . My cut flower gardens are maybe 40 x 40 and fenced in. I have herds of deer. Pennsylvania top soil is rocks, so digging and preparing the gardens, I have, was labor intensive. I have amended the soil and I am ready to expand. My flowers are zinnias, sunflowers, dahlias, peonies, and Rudebeckia,cosmos and oriental lilies. When I expand I want to plant delphiniums and my dahlia collection is expanding. So far I work alone and I supplied flowers for my nephew’s wedding. I tried selling my flowers in town once and was disappointed at how much I earned for all the work I did. I have to find new markets with more flowers. Even looking at your photos has inspired and taught me things. My nephew’s wife gave me your book, which I have poured through.

I’m not a florist but a fresh flower lover. I clip from my yard, garden and at times along the country roads-volunteers to create beautiful arraignments for family, friends & my loves. I am inspired by your generosity to others and I’ve watched your workshops from my kitchen window. I’ve always wondered what went on in that beautiful red barn. Many blessings…

Blessings abound on those who bless others, and I am so grateful that you offer this opportunity. Yes, I will apply with my dreams and heart, and I am encouraged by reading your blog and the perspectives of so many others who love flowers too.
