The Kokoro Garden Podcast

In this episode I share a little bit about how we decided to become small scale flower farmers and some of the lessons learned along the way

If you haven’t been hiding under a rock, you may have heard about (and purchased!) the very special zinnia, celosia, and dahlia seeds from Floret Flower Farm (bred by Erin Benzakein and her team). In this episode I’ll talk about why these original varieties are a game changer for the small scale flower farmer and why this is such a revolutionary time in flower farming

In this episode, we talk about scale, and what exactly the average size of a flower, farmers, and what small scale flower for me actually looks like in terms of size and scale

I’m kicking off 2024 with a renewed focus on small scale flower farming. In this episode I go into the reasons why I’m focusing on small scale flower farmers and why it’s helpful to all of us!

None of us want to fail in our flower farming ventures. But we also need to know what exactly does success look like to define failure. And does failure necessarily mean the end of the road for us? We’ll also talk about redefining success and failure and how I don’t really accept failures in flower farming for myself!
