Helping growers build strategic cut flower systems that create profitable businesses they love

You don't need acres of land

Most people have no idea how to plan a garden that blooms consistently, sells well, and keeps customers coming back. Whether you're a beginner or an aspiring flower cut flower grower, a well-planned garden with the right bloom sequence and variety... is the beginning. You want a steady stream of florist-grade flowers and a reliable source of income, year after year, from your garden.

Fine-tuning a Profitable Garden

Now I'm a Home-Garden Florist with a retail farmstand. I specialize in designing one-of-a-kind, fresh floral arrangements from my studio (could be your garage or under a tree). I create beauty to celebrate all of life's moments, and it amazes me how little my garden needs to be. Although I didn't start here, my journey and experience opened doors, taught me what I know, and made me who I am today. -

Growing Success Anywhere

Universal Varieties, Local Strategy

When we open seed catalogs to choose cut flowers, we're all looking at the same varieties. There will be some differences when it comes to perennials and shrubs (depending on your winter season), but by and large, the strategy of growing is based on our frost dates and growing season length.

Difficult Conditions, Strategic Solutions

I've had years where I was planting in April with no rainfall, and then a year where I was wearing a snowsuit in July. We all have something challenging about where we live and grow. I live in a difficult climate with hot, dry summers, cold winters, and a short growing season. So I'm strategic about timing, succession planting, and maximizing every growing day.

My strategies work everywhere, whether you have a long season and need to plan for consistent blooms, or a short season like mine, where every week counts. The real magic happens in the planning, timing, and strategy of turning those flowers into sales.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!! Just getting started and feel empowered as you present and share your knowledge so simplistically and affordably but also cleverly if that makes sense!
