Oh my goodness it’s all so beautiful! I’m so happy for you! I remember you saying several months ago that this was your first big year to grow flowers. I’ve watched you work your tail off with everything. A million little seedlings, then building the greenhouse and pergola and now it’s finally paying off. Gorgeous! I tried, but didn’t have as much luck. It started with rabbits, deer, birds, chipmunks and every creature on Gods green earth. Then my job sent me OOT for a month. Whatever neglect didn’t kill, Mother Nature has taken care of with rain. We don’t get rain in the summer down here! SO much rain....every. single. day. For WEEKS! There’s always next year. I’ll start over in September with Fall planting. For now I’m just enjoying others gardens. I’m so proud for you! I can’t wait to see your dahlias and Fall bouquets! Thanks for sharing your journey! Sending love and best wishes from Alabama 💚

We sell about 100-120 $15 and $25 bouquets per day at our farmers market. We bring dozens of buckets of flowers and arrange them on the spot by hand to customers' specific orders. Try to find a large farmers market with a lot of traffic. It's worth it to drive an hour or more to destinations where there's more buyers. Have fun!

Beautiful bouquets! I will be starting my flower farm next year once we move to our new property. There’s not a lot of videos out there on preparing for markets, so I really appreciate you sharing your experiences. Question…do you use the same size craft paper for your smaller $10 bouquets? They seem a little smaller so I wasn’t sure. Also, you say you are doing some events. Are you doing arrangements or just just the bouquets? Would love to see what you’re putting together for the events. Your videos are very helpful. Keep them coming😊
@SunshineFlora
@SunshineFlora 3 года назад

Congratulations from New Zealand! You did a fantastic job! The bouquets are beautiful and I loved seeing how you put them together. I have just managed to cut myself a little bouquet from my winter garden (which now has a surprising amount of color). Early daffodils, freesias, and scarlet primulas (primroses). I have been wondering - are freesias widely grown in the US? They are my favorite flower (the smell is divine) and none of the flower farmers I follow have ever mentioned them. But thanks very much for all your helpful advice. You are definitely on my 'must watch' list! :)
@SunshineFlora

@jacintabyline
@jacintabyline 3 года назад
@@SunshineFlora - Though there are the odd wild freesias growing here - we buy freesia bulbs to plant in autumn. They're very popular with gardeners here in NZ - and in Australia too (where I lived for some years). Florists can't get enough of them. In fact there is a flower farm not too far from me that totally grows freesias on acres undercover. They grow them year round mainly for export to overseas markets.

Your arrangemts are just gorgeous and your so nice and make great videos, thank you!!! I've been taking notes while I watch! When you sell wrapped bouquets at the farmers markets, do offer plastic bags ir anything for bouquets or are they just in buckets of water and they take them with stems exposed? Does that seem to be the norm? Just a logistical question as I learn and make plans!!! Thanks so much!!!!

Thank you so much for sharing your flowers. Might I ask how much you pay to enter farmer's market? Our local farmers markets requires an annual commitment and quite a large fee.

Thank you! It’s a wildflower that grows here in Iowa - not sure what it is called

The filler could quite possibly be “White Sweet Clover”. It grows on our back country roads in NH to about 4-6’ tall and has a long taproot. It lasts a long time as a cut flower.

Have you sold to florist? If so how did you decide to price? I am doing lots of research and thought I would ask you too.

Nope. Not in my first year as a flower farmer. I had 9 mixed bouquets. I also had snapdragon bunches in addition. I am starting small this year and learning and doubling my growing for next year!
