Planning wedding flowers is more complex than it looks. In this episode, we share the exact questions that turn inspiration into a calm, resilient plan—from a florist’s capacity and sourcing style to substitutions, design philosophy, and how movement and scale translate from mood board to real life. We break down what local vs. imported blooms mean for your day and how strong systems protect your vision when weather or supply shifts.

We also unpack the hidden logistics and true costs behind florals—installations, candles, transport, strike, insurance—and what real backup plans should sound like. From contracts and communication to creative alignment, this is a guide to choosing a florist who keeps the process smooth and the results unmistakably you.

One hundred episodes in, the data surprised us—in the best way. You wanted real garden know-how, small business strategy, and farmer-level honesty, so we followed the signal. In this episode, we share how the show evolved, from messy multi-app workflows to a grounded content plan rooted in real farm life: greenhouse tours, harvest routines, bouquet builds, and zero fluff.

We talk metrics, missteps, winter farming realities, and where we’re headed next—short-form education, better visuals, and deeper connection over polish. If you’re a grower, florist, or creative building something honest, this is about choosing consistency over perfection and value over vanity—and keeping the gates open as you grow. 🌱🎙️

Ever feel like you missed your moment? We’ve been there—late starts, tiny plots, messy notes, and one very neglected tray of lisianthus that somehow became a star on the farm. Today we unpack why timing myths hold us back and how nature’s rhythm can carry you forward, whether you’re juggling a flower business, a backyard bed, or a long-paused dream.

If this resonated, tap follow, share it with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a quick review to help more growers find the show. What’s the one small step you’ll plant this week?

So you have a bunch of photos saved for wedding inspo, some invites picked out, and a favorite place setting that is on your non-negotiable list... how do you turn those ideas into a cohesive wedding design that matches your style?

Listen in as we talk to event designer Julie Comfort from The Experiential Wedding about the concept of feelings-first design. We dig into choosing color stories rooted in real places and memories, using scent and texture to deepen the narrative, and shaping flow so the timeline feels natural, not choppy. We talk everything from budget clarity to whether you really need that over-the-top installation, planners to catering, and everything in between - especially how we fit into the mix as wedding florists!

Subscribe, share with a friend who’s planning, and tell us: what feeling do you want your wedding guests to carry home?

Wedding flowers are shedding the script and growing wild again. Think whites with nuance, stems that curve instead of behave, blooms chosen for season, heat, light, and how a room actually moves. From peony look-alikes that keep the feeling alive to ceremony flowers that wander into the reception and then out into the community, this is farm-to-aisle design rooted in intention, texture, and timing. Softer, smarter, a little untamed—and very much alive.

Seed catalogs make it too easy to fall for every pretty bloom. We zoom out and show you how to choose cut flowers that truly fit your space, season, and goals—so your garden gives you usable stems, steady color, and fewer disappointments. Joined by Kenley, we break down vase behavior (hello, “dirty” stems), conditioning tricks for sappy flowers, and why some favorites are stunning in the field but disastrous in a mixed bouquet. You’ll hear where single-stem showstoppers shine, when cut-and-come-again workhorses save your schedule, and how harvest windows can make or break your week.

Most of all, we want you to enjoy your field—less burnout, more confidence, more time to stand among blooms and breathe. Ready to choose with intention and grow flowers that actually perform? Subscribe, share this episode with a garden friend, and leave a review telling us your most dependable cut flower this season.

The turn of the calendar doesn’t demand reinvention; it invites better rhythm. We’re kicking off a fresh season by trading pressure for practicality and choosing the kinds of small, steady shifts that make farms and creative businesses hum. Think sunflower rotations you can actually maintain, dahlia plans that prevent May meltdowns, and a smarter mix of varieties that reduce waste while boosting joy at the workbench.

If you’re standing on the edge of your own new beginning—farm, studio, or life—you don’t need permission, perfect timing, or a flawless plan. Plant the first seed. Take one honest step, then another when you’re ready. We’ll be here cheering you on. If this conversation speaks to you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a review so others can find it too.
