Cut flower growing

I listen as I work and always pick up a helpful tip!
Icyfarmgirl

I’m so grateful

I’ve been listening as a small time flower gal and I am so grateful for Paula’s knowledge being shared with us so simply and to the point. I love how she doesn’t beat around the bush and gives us her real life’s experience even the rough times. You have given me the energy to keep on this journey.

So much knowledge!

I stumbled across Paula’s podcast this morning, and binged all the episodes! I LOVE that they are full of tips and knowledge, and shared with us quickly! I am a new flower farmer and very grateful for the amount she shares. Highly recommend!

Ideas I didn’t know I wanted!

I’ve been wanting to start a flower garden and while I don’t currently have plans to sell any of my flowers, being able to enjoy a well-blooming patch of dirt with the opportunity to also share those blooms as cut flowers is something I’d love to be able to do! Paula’s insights are teaching me things I didn’t know I didn’t know so that I’ll be able to achieve both of these goals with more success from day one! Would definitely recommend for anyone who’s interested in all things flowers! There’s a lot to be learned in these short, easy listening conversations that someone with experience or brand new like myself can glean.

Enjoying this Pocast

Thank you sharing your story and experience with us. Really interested in hearing more of your tips and tricks. This podcast gives me an idea of how the back end of growing flowers for profit works and what options there are. As well as helping define what my goals are and where I want to invest my time. Very helpful. Really enjoying.

An easy listen!

i am LOVING this podcast! i love to garden. Adding plants for the soul as well as plants to feed my family in my garden is important! as a mom with young children this gives me the boost i need to get out an grow cut flowers! this pocast is shortcutting me on what to grow, and how to grow, so i can make the most of my “garden time”. (which sometimes is in short supply)! Paula is very easy to listen to also! thanks so much for the wholesome podcast promoting home-grown, and back to nature techniques that this world so badly needs! -heres to dirty hands and happy minds….

Great information!

I’ve been planning to start growing cut flowers as a hobby; listening to Paula’s podcast inspires me to grow them for more than just my own enjoyment. I’m so excited to learn from her every week!
katymirabal

Love it so far!

She’s easy to listen to, has so much knowledge and seems like someone I’d love to chat with in person! So many flower farmers who have only been in the business for a couple of years are giving out advice but this host has been in the business for 16 years!!!! I’ll take her advice, please! I’m looking forward to more episodes.

Simple and concise ways to keep flowers blooming for bouquets.

More please!!

Paula I am so excited about your podcast! I live in south east Idaho and my husband and I recently bought 7 acres and I’ve been thinking about doing a cut flower farm! When you said that you live in northern Idaho my ears really perked up because I wasn’t sure about which flowers could be grown in a cold climate. I am eating up your words and I love your first episode about your journey as a flower farmer. You left me on quite a cliff hanger and I need to hear what happened to your farm! Can’t wait for your next episode and for all the detail you can give about growing flowers!
