You could write the book about how to make PERFECT flower farmer videos. Beautiful flowers, harvesting, tell what you're using, arranging in your lovely studio, minimal chatter, peaceful music. EXCELLENT. I wish all flower farmer youtubers would watch this and learn how it's done right! Congratulations on your success! You deserve it! ❤ Linda in Canada 🇨🇦

That's awesome! Congrats on selling out! Those jelly jars were so cute. I like the look of them so much better than the mason jars. I'm really new at growing flowers but I found arranging the small, short arrangements to be much more fun than the bigger ones. I love having something small sitting on windowsills or on my desk.

I did jars in my first year, by the end of the season I had learnt to put filler, usually fragrant lemon basil, in the far first, then I could use it to 'hold up' all the focal flowers. The green also provides a great contrast to the flowers.

Your booth and flowers look great! Thanks for the inspiration. I made some mason jar bouquets earlier this summer for the tables at our family restaurant and everyone loved them. I love the ribbon detail you added to the jars. I may have to try that. I’m not selling any flowers this year but will be starting my flower farm from scratch next year. How big is your garden space? It looks like it’s in an urban setting but you’ve managed to put out quite a lot of flowers in such a small space. Congrats on selling out at the market! I’ve really enjoyed watching your journey this year.

I started using Floralife with my flowers the end of this season, but used it enough to really see how it helps, but it should hydrate them better to last longer!
@MimiB15

Where do you get your jelly jars? And do you set up the arrangement so that it’s 360 pretty or front to back? I did a small roadside stand this year for the first time and have been using mason jars and really struggle with the whole making of the arrangements. The ones I think will definitely sell don’t sell and the ones that I don’t like sell. Totally unpredictable! Your stand looked awesome!!

Hi from the UK again. I bought some of the glue dots you recommended and I am going to practice over the next few weeks decorating the jam jars as all this is new to me, including the growing of the flowers. Another question I have is do you or know another channel where there is a list what the flowers all are ie which are focal, filler, accent or foliage (I guess that’s obvious really) as I struggle to determine these. Is it all down to personal preference or is there an actual directory/list as I think this would be really useful for a beginner like me. Thank you for your help. 🙏🌻🌱
