#249: Take A Break Aug 01, 2023

Show notes

Do you need a break? To continue performing everyone needs time to refuel. For me, marrying into a family that observes Sundays as a day of rest played a significant role in my business success. Looking back I see how it gave me down space to become better.

#246: Big Picture Thinking for Spring Jul 11, 2023

Show notes

Now is the time for big-picture planning for next spring: where and when. As I am shuffling our gardens again, I am excited to embark on a smaller garden that produces more.

I know where I am planting Cool Flowers and when I should plant which leads me backward to mark the calendar with when I start transplants, have seeds on hand, get beds ready, etc.

Take a minute to review the book and related resources to plan for the biggest season of the year, spring.

#245: Afraid of Selling Your Flowers? Jul 04, 2023

Show notes

Little did I know that being afraid to sell my first flowers was actually the gift that prepared me for a career of success. Becoming a strong, confident seller was not what I thought, it was the result of becoming a prepared and professional flower farmer that led me to selling success.

#241: Encore! Lisa Interviews Nicole Pitt of Flower Hill Farm Jun 06, 2023

Show notes

This episode is an encore presentation of a chat with my friend and student Nicole Pitt of Flower Hill Farm. Nicole farms in Boonville, New York on the land of her childhood (and current) home. A former TV news reporter/anchor, Nicole is now in her fifth year of cut flower production, selling through a CSA, to florists, and at her newly opened nursery. In this interview, we talked about how she got into flowers, the challenges faced as she grows her business, and what the future may hold for Flower Hill Farm. Nicole’s story demonstrates how investing in education and applying it to your business’s needs as it grows can be the foundation of success.

Originally aired as Field & Garden episode #146

#240: Flower Farmer or Cut Flower Grower? May 30, 2023

Show notes

Do you refer to yourself as a flower farmer or a cut flower grower? I wonder if our verbal preference is a reflection of our subconscious focus. Either way, I believe telling our story has far more reach and impact in the future than we can imagine. Tell your story often, because it will go way beyond you. ~Lisa

P.S. Stay tuned until the end for a special message from Charissa. :)
