This Could Be The WORST Market Of The Year!

Summer is here, and the flowers love the heat, but the season of vacations can bring complications for selling bouquets, as customers who are soon to travel are unlikely to buy. This could slow our sales this week as we have noticed this trend in previous seasons. But the power of positive thinking is in us, and this is the first season we are only bringing flowers and no veggies to market, so we are going to harvest all the flowers and make a big pile of bouquets to bring down to the farmers market, and we will do our best to make an amazing presentation to sell all the flowers we can, and overcome the summer sales slump.

Fresh to dry bouquets, what a FABULOUS IDEA! That's something no one else will have! should promote them as special. Not only beautiful now but unlike any other bouquet can carry on into becoming future holiday decorations too! Crafters would love it!

@heatherj3030 2 года назад

Serena, you keep getting better and better at flower arrangements, especially this year. They are gorgeous!!

@patrickcarr3546 2 года назад

I second this comment and growing a great variety of things to design with this year.

@shynncat9647 2 года назад

The flowers looked amazing 😍😍 Ps. Have you thought about puting a white blanked under the red roof in the marked so the flowers don’t look so red/dark? 😊

@patty8991 2 года назад

This is a great idea, the colors will pop more from across the market.

@gardengirl7446 2 года назад

I was thinking spotlights aimed down at the flowers like a stage setting!

@jmckphotography 2 года назад

These weekly videos are so great. I love the consistency- the intro, the staying up late- me worrying about your adrenals- the market. I know y’all love being super creative with your videos, but there’s something so comforting about the “weekly show.” ☺️

@margarethatton2965 2 года назад

I wonder if at the market you could have a little printed up 'story' with photographs of the farm, explaining you guys history and how you farm organically so ppl can see where their flowers are coming from?

@sadieleo 2 года назад

First off, I love watching your videos… especially the harvesting and the snips synchronized to the beat :) Not sure if you ever thought of this but here is an idea for you guys… I worked at a restaurant every summer and the restaurant would buy flowers wholesale from local Amish growers (Eastern shore USA) to put a few stems in a vase at each table in our dining room area. I also regularly go to a coffee shop at my University that does the same thing, always has fresh flowers from I believe local growers on their tables. That would also be an awesome weekly revenue for you guys if you could establish a partnership with some local businesses :)

@LovesRock 2 года назад

The snips-song is the best!!!

@martinlehtonen 2 года назад

Three tier display looks awesome! looks like an cascade of flowers to the costumers

@carolinekresa6600 2 года назад

I love how you have started playing more with music in your videos and the way that you sync the beat of the music with the snips of the flowers IS AMAZING.

@Godwinpounds4333 2 года назад

Hello how are you doing?

@robine916 2 года назад

I needed to pause the video and compliment whoever did the editing for the "clip the flowers to the music"! Spot on! Gorgeous bouquets, as always. :D

@pinkyfromhaughtfarms6550 2 года назад

Agreed!

@LittleGardenBigDreams 2 года назад

I just love your videos and I appreciate all the work you put into making them. Your ideas are great, and you deserve every success xx Cathi xx 😘

@PatBarr55 2 года назад

Love the bouquets, so beautiful. You're a warrior Serena. Both of you are. Wow the cherries!

@loniker916 2 года назад

Serena’s bouquets are lit! It’s so cool to see how she’s growing as an artist while the business is growing as well.

@smuggafree 2 года назад

Not only are your videos pretty with all of the flowers but they are very well done with much interest.

@karenpierce4895 2 года назад

You have the most beautiful bouquets on You Tube.

@darian9670 2 года назад

It would be so helpful for y'all to put up LED string lights or even solar powered lighting throughout the farm so it's easier to see when picking flowers at night. Headlamps work, but it's so much easier with actual lighting. I work full time and have 3 small children so I do a lot of my gardening/cutting/just taking care of my lil backyard plot of veggies and flowers. Amazon has some very affordable choices of string lights and solar floodlights. Just a thought! Love y'all thank you for the amazing informational entertaining videos! 💜

@SouthernLaura 2 года назад

Okay Ian! Wow those skills of snipping to the beat of the music 🎶 Impressive! Serina you truly grow the most lush and beautiful flowers. Adorable monkeys by the way 😊

@roxanneboudreau9806 2 года назад

Ian and Serina, most videos I whole-heartedly wish I could reach through the screen and have several of your stunning bouquets! It is heartwarming to see a couple who compliment and support each other so well. Have a fun summer!

@gardengirl7446 2 года назад

We had the joy of visiting their road side stand last autumn. The dried bouquet is still lovely!

@999applegirl999 2 года назад

I LOVE your video editing with Sarina snipping to the beat. You guys are so fun.

@linnpersson7731 Год назад

I love how you edited the video so the harvesting (snipping) of the strawflowers matched the beat of the music. Is those little destaled that I love! Always enjoy your videos and your honesty about farmlife 😊

@AlexAlex-gj4jd 2 года назад

I think the display could be more effective if it was tiered but in a U shape so people can walk around better to see all the bouquets! Even L-shaped so Ian has an easy way to get to the back. 🌻

@chadeller5588 2 года назад

"Traveler Bouquet" is a great idea and perfect name! A sign with just those 2 words may convert stroll-bys to buyers. Everything you made was bea-u-ti-ful!

@karenm5681 2 года назад

I love it how you’ve timed the snip of the shears to the drumbeat in the music. That’s “next level”! So satisfying to watch…it just seems “right”. Thank you for that little detail, I bet that took extra time & effort. (Worth it!)

@marywillsussman4321 2 года назад

Serina has a great color sense! Love the bouquets with lilies!

@summawub 2 года назад

Clipping the flowers to the beat of the music = very satisfying.

@YouCantEatTheGrass 2 года назад

I'm glad you enjoy it, it is a lot of effort to do but it makes for an positive viewing experience in my opinion

@thenodiggardener 2 года назад

I love that Sea Holly, it's spiky, like my personality lol The thing about flowers is, many of us may grow some in our own gardens, but I still want to see mine in my garden, because I don't have room to grow loads, due to everything else, so I still need to buy cut flowers too. I'm guessing many people are in the same boat. It's not the same as growing veggies that you actually have to harvest, and eat.

@40JoCharles 2 года назад

You are the freaking superflowerwoman. 🥰🥰🥰 Your flower combinations are just fabulous. Look after yourself too, cos we don’t want these videos to stop. 🙏🏼🥰🙂💐

@ncgreenie6707 2 года назад

@YouCantEatTheGrass 2 года назад

Thanks, it means a lot that the videos have value for people, it keeps me motivated to do things around the farm knowing that I can film the results and bring happiness to lots of people through the process

Thanks for inspiring me to dry the leftovers! Are there some specific instruct you would give to your customers for “fresh to dried” bouquets? 💐

@MariaSantos-ex8sh 2 года назад

So I'm watching Serena clip straw flowers and I noticed that the music and Serena 's clipping are in tuned that's awesome

@kat1984 2 года назад

I love the idea of the fresh to dry bouquets. I'm glad you kept the cherry trees.

@YouCantEatTheGrass 2 года назад

Cherries are literally my favorite, I would have regretted getting rid of them. We were going to put peonies in theor spot, but now we have a better spot to put them.

@radmilamiljanic5977 2 года назад

Fresh to dry is a great idea, they are amazing. I keep buying statice of all colors and putting them in a vase without water, they look wonderful! And they're great for wedding bouquets, boutonnieres, etc. since they keep the color!

@melissastokes5885 2 года назад

I think your bouquets are so beautiful! The color combinations are so eye catching and unique. This is real talent! Congratulations on your awesome market sales.

@Godwinpounds4333 2 года назад

Hello how are you doing?

@jennifermccarthy6706 2 года назад

@katsgarden7878 2 года назад

@susanshepard976 2 года назад

hang them up

@funtannis5638 2 года назад

Your bouquets are beautiful! 💐

@beson5663 2 года назад

please announce with a sign that you have fresh to dried bouquets, many tourists automatically dismiss flowers when they don't know there are alternatives. It can also attract conversation.

@pinkyfromhaughtfarms6550 2 года назад

Every video the editing gets tighter and tighter! Great job guys 💚

@bettyjoy6361 2 года назад

Love the snips in time with the music! Great movie as always!

@joseabito-on442 2 года назад

The paper daisies are lovely! I always love the more whimsical flowers. I swoon every time I see your Yarrow and Strawflowers and never fail to gasp in awe everytime the Sea Holly gets shown. Also, Sunflower season has started! 🥰 I hope to have my own flower farm someday ❤ You guys are always so inspiring so until then, i'll gladly live my dream flower farm life vicariously through you! Love from the Philippines 🍻

@colinmacdonald8738 2 года назад

Beautiful the flowers 💐 too. When youhold the bouquets 💐 to your face behold your true beauty. My daughters and their mom are growing flowers. Thanks

@slavicadimcevski9585 2 года назад

I’m so envious of that cherry breakfast!!!

@vivherman2296 2 года назад

WOW those bouquets!! I don't think you could make anything more prettier than those! I was out after dark Friday night looking for extras also. Rained all Sat. am @ market. ...sold 5. I started adding dried flowers to bouquets mainly so customers would be pleased with how long they lasted in the vase and come back for more!!! Getting over covid here.....need some energy...can I borrow some of yours?? Never seen anyone work as hard as you do. You guys deserve all that beauty! And money!

@YouCantEatTheGrass 2 года назад

Lol, no energy to spare unfortunately. Hope you are feeling better soon though

@MarilenaVazquez 2 года назад

@karenm5681 2 года назад

Love the way you do the clothespins to hang the flowers! Thanks! Great life hack which I’ll be adopting as of today.(I was using twisty-ties or Christmas ornament hooks with mixed success) but I think I need to buy some more clothespins.😂

@aileensteele7298 2 года назад

The flowers are gorgeous. I’m missing the beauty of the Pacific Northwest so you’re feeding that feeling. Mahalo!

@patz780 2 года назад

If I were at your market, I honestly can’t tell you which bouquet I would choose. They are all so beautiful! This week, though, the blue ones were very special. Serena, your work gets better and better.

@Fatimasroots 2 года назад

Ian I love your hair, those locks are truly gorgeous!!

@vkenn60 2 года назад

I love your vlog, with that said, there are some opportunities I think you are missing. The straw flower bouquet, are sellable to everyone, not just vacationers. Just think about advertising them as you get them fresh, then you let them dry, you now have flowers for your home rest of the year. Your logo, paint the roof red, on your banner, red attracts peoples eyes. I say all this out of love for you all. God bless good luck.

@janetbrown1521 2 года назад

I love serenade arrangements. They are so pretty. I wonder if you can spotlight the flowers better. Athough Ian arranges nicely it looks a little dark under the tarp and toward the back. The flowers have better pure color in sunlight. They'd sell themselves. I realize that they can be in full sun ...They'd wilt. Maybe rotate. Can you put some in front on the ground?

@paulakreinberg1448 2 года назад

The fresh dried bouquets are stunning!

@rebeccainspiringhope4357 2 года назад

Any time I watch your market videos, I think “wow, anyone that thinks they’re going to have a market garden and roll in money without much work knows better now!” Y’all work so hard! 😅

@patrickcarr3546 2 года назад

Great designs this week and as usual staying up til 4:30am haha y’all are crazy and awesome.

You always have the most beautiful flowers 💐 this year I grew straw flowers and I felt in love with so I got all the colors for next year 😂l being ordering lot’s of flowers seeds of all kind’s and ofcourse vegetables seed’s 💐🌸🌹🌺🫑🥦🌻🌷♥️

@heycrisper 2 года назад

Anyone else find it so satisfying that the pruners synced up with the music overlay? Beautiful! All the hard work is paying off for you guys. I’m glad that you guys are finally seeing some consistency at the markets. If i lived there, I’d be there as often as I could!

@maggidull1952 2 года назад

I liked how you made the tiers moveable for your display, so that you could keep your merchandise look full. Smart move! And Sabrina, as always, you make such beautiful bouquets! Gorgeous ! And, yay! increase in sales totals from last year.

@lynne7656 2 года назад

Serena your bouquets are stunning. I would love a midsummer video highlighting some of the cultivars you're growing and what you think of them. Big blue sea holly is on my list now!

@YouCantEatTheGrass 2 года назад

Check out the farm tours, that's where we give more plant specific info

@l_alvarez_1k 2 года назад

Serena I would love to see you incorporate some cherry tree branches into your $40 bouquets! Some "edible bouquets" would be stellar! Adding in some herbs in their bloom stage with edible flowers...$$$$$ Ian, your enthusiasm and complete trust in Serena's choices radiates awesome vibes in the market. You guys are a great team. Blessings from California ❤️❤️❤️

@YouCantEatTheGrass 2 года назад

Once the cherries are ripe, they would drop the fruit and make a mess if cut. We use them as immature leaves in the spring, and then green fruit in late spring

@judithjohnson2111 2 года назад

Keeps getting better & better. So beautiful.

@tinashields9599 2 года назад

Gorgeous stuff. Someone else commented on the lighting under the canopy, I agree, it tends to not show them to their best advantage, there is some red reflection on the bouquets-

@YouCantEatTheGrass 2 года назад

It's true and it's not just on camera, but in person. I tell people to pick up bouquets and compare them in natural light if they want to. Once a bouquet is in the hand they are basically always going to buy something. The red light doesn't seem to affect the front of the display, those bouquets have their true colour so I don't think it has too much of an affect on sales.

@stschubs 2 года назад

Lol once again, I really appreciate that the cuts are with the beat of the music :D

@YouCantEatTheGrass 2 года назад

Thanks, I sometimes worry it will become a gimmick to people, but it really makes the music and the footage melt together and form something that is greater than the sum of their parts in my opinion

@thecrazysoaplady2497 2 года назад

I think your farm is lovely! Lots of hard work and sleepless nights, I'm sure. You make beautiful bouquets! I think you should raise your $20 arrangements to $25. Everything else has gone up. I don't think you'd have any complaints. The work that goes into these is worth it. Maybe keep them at $20 at the stand as there is no transportation cost. Well done!

@draganpower 2 года назад

My glads are about to bloom and I just hours watching your older videos trying to find your gladiolus, lettuce, sunflower recipe. Lol.

@gardengirl649 2 года назад

Your bouquets are so fabulous from the overhead shots. Why don't you have any buckets on the ground in front of the table? I would walk by, look down and be sold. Always wishing you the best.

The flowers. The bouquets. They are all super gorgeous. But. I just want to be sure that. Serena has time to really. Rest. I feel exhausted just looking at how much you are doing. Take care. Has been following this channel for the super hard work that the both of you are doing. PS. And that look you give us as you are hanging the flowers to dry is truly sweet :) thank you.
