SELLING from the Flower Farm

[@secretgardenhomestead3251]

Beautiful flowers! The hotel I work at often buys flowers from the supermarket to dress the tables, perhaps some local restaurants near to you would buy locally from you? Worth investigating for next year maybe :) thanks for another video I always enjoy them x

[@BrimwoodFarm]

That's a good idea - something I can look into for next season. :)

[@veedebee]

Really interesting, thanks. The garden looks beautiful

[@BrimwoodFarm]

Thanks, it's getting there. Lots of weeds but better than last year!!

[@fionaswaters]

They're beautiful flowers! You're on a learning curve which will bring in lots eventually and I think more people are getting natural wedding bouquets as well if you can find those clients.

[@BrimwoodFarm]

Yes, definitely seems a lot more people a wanting a natural and more rustic wedding look which works perfectly for home-cut flowers

I enjoy getting these on my channel. I thought I'd pass it on.

[@BrimwoodFarm]

Thank you so much!

Greetings from Thailand, always a great pleasure to see your farm project over the years, I must admit alone you are doing a great job! Interesting on how the flower clientele enjoy more the same flower bouquet! Will kale your work easier for next year

[@BrimwoodFarm]

Thanks, and hi from the UK!

[@johnnytasker1531]

Thanks for this Geoff. It was really interesting for us as it's completely different to what we do here. We loved this vid. Thanks.🤓🐶 🧔

[@BrimwoodFarm]

Really positive that you’re sales have increased and you’re getting your flowers out there. The cosmos is stunning. I wish my seed dahlias looked like that. Do you remember what seeds you used?

[@BrimwoodFarm]

It's a cacti dahlia seed mix from Moles Seeds. 😊

Farmers Markets are so frustrating round here too. There are little hotspots, towns where the whole local thing is so cool, but ours isn't one of them either!

[@BrimwoodFarm]

Ours is NOT one of them either. And the sort of folks who come to our ones are the kinda folks who grow their own.

[@alisonburgess345]

you'd probably find that dahlia tubers overwinter fine too. I live in a sub-alpine climate in Australia and mine went fine this year. It's spring here and they're shooting really strongly - we got down to -7 over winter and they've coped OK with it. I put a small pile of compost over the cut down stem clumps and bingo! I dug them all up the year before and despite my best efforts, I lost heaps. They can handle more cold than everyone thinks (unless your ground turns into permafrost 😢). Good video this - new sub here 😊

[@BrimwoodFarm]

Ooh, good tip Alison. I'll give that a go. I'm going to move some into the polytunnel but will leave a few outside and cover as a test!
