Have you ever considered an awning for the roadside stand? A good sized and colorful canvas awning would look nice and keep some of the sun out.

@victorybeginsinthegarden 2 года назад

good idea

@amyshaler7134 2 года назад

I was just coming to also suggest an awning. Good idea to shade the sunshine.

@helenachase5627 2 года назад

What a great suggestion

@carolinebonner8211 2 года назад

That is a good idea. I was going to suggest those heavy plastic strips in the doorway like in warehouses to keep the cool air in. Not very pretty, tho. An all glass storm door maybe?

@surobhisaikia7730 2 года назад

Great idea .. and if possible a few shade tree.. around it .. may be cherries 😂

@zefcha4670 Год назад

i re watch the videos and skip to serina making bouquets the ian selling at the market...never gets old..i enjoy flowers!!

@martinlehtonen 2 года назад

you should get one of those 'pvc strip door' things on the roadside stand door. It would keep the cool in and the hot air out and maybe save some money on electricity aswell. Costomers would still be able to see inside through it.

@Dezedaantje 2 года назад

Yess! This! I wanted to suggest the same. Also they could maybe put a door canopy above the door, so the sun doesn't get a chance to heat up the interior of the roadside stand.

@katrienvh4289 2 года назад

yes Dezedaantje, those big, thicker long transparent flaps. You can cut them to size very easy. And/or put a tent over the stand so the sun doesn't hit any of the sides.

@candiceeckelberry7524 2 года назад

It’s amazing how a simple barrier like the pvc strips ssooo helps. I had same experience with my basement room when door broke. I was trying to conserve heat and adding a reg curtain really helped.

@ninirossau2304 2 года назад

they are not that easy to get through especially with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers in your hands but as a door (like a screen) the pvc would keep the cool and the sight line. and a cute canopy with a red roof would tie in nicely.

@victorybeginsinthegarden 2 года назад

yes

@jeezumcrow8655 2 года назад

The bouquets are just absolutely beautiful. Serena has come so far in her artistic skill and color and texture combos since the beginning of their flower farm journey. How can you not love Ian’s enthusiasm and positivity? He always seems to make the best of a situation (like the heatwave). Congrats you two for making the change to your business plan and concentrating on the flowers this year. It seems to be paying off. ♥️🌸💐🌷🌹🌹🌻🌼

@heycrisper 2 года назад

Hey guys, I never thought of it, but if sometimes you don't quite sell all with the market and feel like donating in your town - what about a local retirement home? I'm sure you bring some of the best looking ones home for the stand and I think you've mentioned donating some to the food bank, which is so sweet too. :)

@MicheleLHarvey 2 года назад

The red roof on your tent is reflective of your name, but it also puts a red cast on your flowers making the true colors hard to see. (If you ever go into a paint store and try to see true color under fluorescents you'll understand the importance.) Is there any way you can get a color neutral tent top? Especially in the heat the red cast from your tent roof, not only masks the true flower colors but must make it seem even hotter underneath it to passerby. Just a thought...

@pennywood5388 2 года назад

I think about this too! Good point

@jwbowden674 2 года назад

I have noticed that as well. That the flowers can’t show off as well with the red light from the tent.

@emilygardner 2 года назад

Yes, I agree. The red unfortunately skews those flowers so much

@YouCantEatTheGrass 2 года назад

@ninemoonplanet 2 года назад

Suggestion for the flower stand. Find someone who has a weeping willow tree. Take cuttings (they root very quickly) and plant one on the west side. You could put two on the west side, creating a cooling area given most of our winds come from the west.. Willows like this grow remarkably fast. Alternative is bushes that tolerate dry, hot temperature. Just a bit of shade cuts the heat by 5°C.

@surobhisaikia7730 2 года назад

Thats the best idea

Oh my gosh, Ian is hilarious..." Here's the instructions, throw them away!!" I've heard that before:) what can you NOT put in your cooler, basil, zinnias, etc??

@Sarah-0H0 2 года назад

Those lilies are insane!!! Hopefully they make creating bouquets easy and are not a hindrance by being so big!

@vinvin1715 2 года назад

A couple of suggestions I might add. Have you considered a lower tier level on your stand as it would space out the flowers more. Easier on the eye. Also I would suggest a black covering cloth not the brown one as it will make your colours pop more as the cloth and brown paper kinda makes things look a bit flat. Also have you considered a small cooler ice pack in each of the buckets to keep your water cold.

@marymonroy8442 2 года назад

If I lived in your area I would go every week and buy a bouquet! Your bouquets are so beautiful and you have the grandma-garden (not the average flowers you normally see in grocery stores) type flowers ! Thank you for sharing!!

@TheEmbrio 2 года назад

Any protection on that door, a screen, bead curtains, a light curtain, awning, fabric awning, will do a lot. Can be decorative if you're inspired !

@vickiblizzard1001 2 года назад

A red awning on the stand would be a great idea for keeping the sun out and would look so cute with the door! I haven't read through all the comments and don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but some grocery stores have these strips of heavy clear vinyl hanging in doorways to the back storage areas so that the cooler air stays in the storage area, but you can still see through and walk through them. Something like that might help keep in some cooler air. And when the weather is more temperate, you can easily clip them to one side so that they're out of the way. Those bouquets were gorgeous this week - the one with mostly white daisy type flowers and some yellow was my favorite, as was the dramatic dark one. Wish I lived closer!

@1centplus1cent 2 года назад

Maybe consider putting a glass door on the roadside shop with a big sign that says "Come On In, We're Open" on the glass. And that way you can maintain the appearance of an open door/open shop without losing the air. Maybe glass door as 2nd door so that at night it can be looked up with solid wood/metal door.

@zefcha4670 Год назад

glass door would let the sun heat up the stand more.

@harborgurl 2 года назад

@baileylisk4881 2 года назад

Oh wow those lilies were phenomenal! The size of them is amazing! All of the bouquets were gorgeous! What a dream to be working with such beautiful specimens every week!! And I just want to say I am fully jealous of your cherry tree! What an abundance! I would need a tree for myself definitely. Another great video thanks to you both! 🙂

@laetitiabapst1572 2 года назад

I have a suggestion for your road side stand, you could do a dried flower arch outside the door ( kind of like an awning but in dried flowers...) that would just create the shadow that you need and that would showcase your amazing dried flowers!

Still doing great despite the heat! Excellent! Gorgeous bouquets as usual - which doesn't lessen the impact! I see in the comments the idea to put an awning over the shed entrance - that's a fabulous idea. Also, someone suggested a glass storm door. Also a fabulous idea. The combo of the two will provide shade while letting folks see inside, and help the air conditioner not work so hard. 🍒🍒🍒 I'm a cherry-holic too. Can't afford to buy them except once or twice a season. Wish I had the room to plant a cherry tree!

Another thought....does cooler water help keep the bouquets fresh? Maybe a few ice cubes in the buckets at the stand and the market? (I am obviously not a flower specialist. !!)

Or stash some buckets with frozen blocks of ice between the flower buckets. ??

A faux door or magicians door with an open and closed sign on it. Just a permanent board/wall put up that’s 2 foot (ish) out from the real door. The board blocks the sun and the customers can walk in from either side. Also an air curtain will help hold the cold air in while also keeping flies and bugs out.

@noracloherty3498 2 года назад

Passive income idea! Maybe you can reach out to local photographers that might be interested in using your farm as a photoshoot location for graduation photos or engagement photos for a small fee. Also you could list your farm on Wedding wire/ the knot as a photography location to have great passive income during the summer months! Maybe the booking comes with a flower crown or boquet for the person to hold during photos. :)

@spontaneousun 2 года назад

Oooh this is a really interesting idea - as long as it doesn’t conflict with flower farming operations! (I could imagine “ruining” shots by being in the background and needing to plan farming around the photos, which probably wouldn’t be worth it.)

@sandrajohnson9926 2 года назад

Yes! Great idea. Make it available at Serena & Ian's convience.

Can you get a double hung door on the front? Similar to how front doors can have a glass door and a solid metal/ wood door behind it? Edit to say - that way people could still see in but the heat loss would go down.

Do you ever sell wholesale buckets (just picked but not cleaned off stems)? Anyway I'm so happy to see your successes and thank you for sharing this journey with us all. :) .
