Did you send to info@floretflowers.com? Put Salt Spring in the subject line.

Thanks Kasey! Your support was absolutely fantastic and so well received by all of our lucky students. We were all oohing and ahhhing over the fun CA foliages that none of us ever get to grow. A real treat indeed!

Clearly you’ve captured the hearts and minds of many, yet there are so many more who have not yet been touched by the work you and Jennie are doing.

I hope your effort continues and I hope we can continue to support you in your mission to help people think more creatively, regionally and locally when designing with flowers.

I live in New Zealand but my partner is from the U.S and we visit his family every few years – I’m scheming to co-ordinate a visit to align with a workshop…
The seasonal, local and organic flower arranging philosophy has not really caught on in New Zealand yet and its very reassuring and inspiring to know there are like minded people out there, even if scattered across the globe. This is my first year growing my own flowers in my little garden to supplement what we get at the flower market (I can see how it’s very addictive and easy to run out of room) and so much advice and knowledge has come via the internet community. Looking forward to your e-book soon, exciting news!

I think coming to Salt Spring is a grand idea, I’ve always wanted to visit!

Not sure if you know Michael Ableman from Foxglove Farm, he’s on the island, but it was his book that inspired me to start farming. I’ve longed to see his operation for many years now.

I’m totally serious about coming out! Email over your ideas : )

Oh, I can’t wait to check out the new site!

I am so restless to get moving on that book. I have my feelers out now so hopefully it’ll happen in the not so distant future.

Thrilled you had such success with dahlias, aren’t they the best!? And mums…you’re gonna flip!

Hi there

We have The British Flower Collective here for exactly that reason. We can help each other, growing tips, outlets for our flowers, packaging and surplus stock you name it we can pull together and work out a solution. I’d highly recommend setting up something similar – we a have a new website if you want to take a peek.

Erin have been following you for a while now and as you know tweeting like mad about a book with a planting diary would be great. It’s getting crop rotation right in a small area for us and when you have a cold spring like we did it makes it very tough to get those early annuals!

We had our first year growing dahlias, inspired by you, and we are hooked! Lovely to read your post about Chrysanthemums second season of these for us and plan more for next year. Love the varieties you featured and great to bring them back into fashion lets hope our blue dyed ones at the local shop seriously go out of fashion….keep wanting to knock the bucket over each time I pass!!!,

Have a lovely winter.

Becca.

I forgot to mention that I’ve found it impossible to find anyone who can sell me ranunculus corms this fall. I’m so sad that I won’t be getting a head start with them in my hoop house.How did you begin your first crop?
Also, here’s an idea…….come to SaltSpring and speak at my (huge!) Garden Club and help me encourage gardeners to grow for my future flower shop!

Thank you so much for your generous sharing of everything that you do. I’ve been following your blog for about a year now and can’t tell you enough how thankful I am for your inspiration and knowledge. I’m working on growing on my 3/4 acres here on Salt Spring Island, B.C. We have the most amazing community of farmers and an incredible farmer’s market.My hope is to open a flower shop which is purely locally supplied….and no oasis allowed! I hope that some day I get to meet you at one of your workshops or maybe you will come visit Salt Spring one day! Many, many thanks to you Erin.
