Have you ever considered an awning for the roadside stand? A good sized and colorful canvas awning would look nice and keep some of the sun out.

[@victorybeginsinthegarden]

good idea

[@amyshaler7134]

I was just coming to also suggest an awning. Good idea to shade the sunshine.

[@helenachase5627]

What a great suggestion

[@carolinebonner8211]

That is a good idea. I was going to suggest those heavy plastic strips in the doorway like in warehouses to keep the cool air in. Not very pretty, tho. An all glass storm door maybe?

[@surobhisaikia7730]

Great idea .. and if possible a few shade tree.. around it .. may be cherries 😂

[@martinlehtonen]

you should get one of those 'pvc strip door' things on the roadside stand door. It would keep the cool in and the hot air out and maybe save some money on electricity aswell. Costomers would still be able to see inside through it.

[@Dezedaantje]

Yess! This! I wanted to suggest the same. Also they could maybe put a door canopy above the door, so the sun doesn't get a chance to heat up the interior of the roadside stand.

[@katrienvh4289]

yes Dezedaantje, those big, thicker long transparent flaps. You can cut them to size very easy. And/or put a tent over the stand so the sun doesn't hit any of the sides.

[@candiceeckelberry7524]

It’s amazing how a simple barrier like the pvc strips ssooo helps. I had same experience with my basement room when door broke. I was trying to conserve heat and adding a reg curtain really helped.

[@ninirossau2304]

they are not that easy to get through especially with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers in your hands but as a door (like a screen) the pvc would keep the cool and the sight line. and a cute canopy with a red roof would tie in nicely.

[@victorybeginsinthegarden]

yes

[@jeezumcrow8655]

The bouquets are just absolutely beautiful. Serena has come so far in her artistic skill and color and texture combos since the beginning of their flower farm journey. How can you not love Ian’s enthusiasm and positivity? He always seems to make the best of a situation (like the heatwave). Congrats you two for making the change to your business plan and concentrating on the flowers this year. It seems to be paying off. ♥️🌸💐🌷🌹🌹🌻🌼

[@hollyward4594]

That pink $40 bouquet is absolutely gorgeous!!!! I'd pay $50

[@judithjohnson2111]

Just when I think the flowers cannot look any better.somhow they get more beautiful every week. Amazing.

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

I love that they always change from week to week

[@marandaranda]

“Here’s the instructions, could you throw those away me?” “Sad Canadian Serena” 🤣🤣🤣 I have been laughing since the opening bit! Love your channel

[@ninemoonplanet]

Suggestion for the flower stand. Find someone who has a weeping willow tree. Take cuttings (they root very quickly) and plant one on the west side. You could put two on the west side, creating a cooling area given most of our winds come from the west.. Willows like this grow remarkably fast. Alternative is bushes that tolerate dry, hot temperature. Just a bit of shade cuts the heat by 5°C.

[@surobhisaikia7730]

Thats the best idea

[@zefcha4670]

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

Thanks so much

[@karalee6522]

I am growing flowers this year because of this channel! Just picked my first Dahlia! And managed to get some lilac lisianthus! It's been really fun!

[@heycrisper]

Hey guys, I never thought of it, but if sometimes you don't quite sell all with the market and feel like donating in your town - what about a local retirement home? I'm sure you bring some of the best looking ones home for the stand and I think you've mentioned donating some to the food bank, which is so sweet too. :)

[@MicheleLHarvey]

The red roof on your tent is reflective of your name, but it also puts a red cast on your flowers making the true colors hard to see. (If you ever go into a paint store and try to see true color under fluorescents you'll understand the importance.) Is there any way you can get a color neutral tent top? Especially in the heat the red cast from your tent roof, not only masks the true flower colors but must make it seem even hotter underneath it to passerby. Just a thought...

[@pennywood5388]

I think about this too! Good point

[@jwbowden674]

I have noticed that as well. That the flowers can’t show off as well with the red light from the tent.

[@emilygardner]

Yes, I agree. The red unfortunately skews those flowers so much

[@patty8991]

100% agree with this

[@TheAlduver]

Agreed

[@vickiblizzard1001]

A red awning on the stand would be a great idea for keeping the sun out and would look so cute with the door! I haven't read through all the comments and don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but some grocery stores have these strips of heavy clear vinyl hanging in doorways to the back storage areas so that the cooler air stays in the storage area, but you can still see through and walk through them. Something like that might help keep in some cooler air. And when the weather is more temperate, you can easily clip them to one side so that they're out of the way. Those bouquets were gorgeous this week - the one with mostly white daisy type flowers and some yellow was my favorite, as was the dramatic dark one. Wish I lived closer!

[@GiGiM-1114]

If I lived in your area I would go every week and buy a bouquet! Your bouquets are so beautiful and you have the grandma-garden (not the average flowers you normally see in grocery stores) type flowers ! Thank you for sharing!!

[@meandmysunshine1]

Serena, I love your beautiful flowers. They are absolutely beautiful! You seem to have more varieties. Your bouquets are becoming more and more beautiful. I like how you are adding more variety in each bouquet. Great job! Thank you for posting! Eileen 🍁🇨🇦💕😊

[@TheEmbrio]

Any protection on that door, a screen, bead curtains, a light curtain, awning, fabric awning, will do a lot. Can be decorative if you're inspired !

[@catherineengle4196]

Awesome y'all. It's so great that your markets are doing so well. God bless y'all. Keep me in your prayers. I have cancer surgery in the morning.

Oh wow those lilies were phenomenal! The size of them is amazing! All of the bouquets were gorgeous! What a dream to be working with such beautiful specimens every week!! And I just want to say I am fully jealous of your cherry tree! What an abundance! I would need a tree for myself definitely. Another great video thanks to you both! 🙂

[@1centplus1cent]

Maybe consider putting a glass door on the roadside shop with a big sign that says "Come On In, We're Open" on the glass. And that way you can maintain the appearance of an open door/open shop without losing the air. Maybe glass door as 2nd door so that at night it can be looked up with solid wood/metal door.

[@zefcha4670]

glass door would let the sun heat up the stand more.

[@angelinarose6064]

I appreciated the consistent updates on the cherries! 😂

[@SouthernLatitudesFL]

I am in Central Florida, 9b. I find your videos inspiring to help me incorporate more flowers into my landscape. I laughed at your smile in front of the AC.

[@slowweekender]

Would an awning help the flower stand? Could look cute with your branding on 😊 Flowers are looking devine btw! ❤️

[@laetitiabapst1572]

I have a suggestion for your road side stand, you could do a dried flower arch outside the door ( kind of like an awning but in dried flowers...) that would just create the shadow that you need and that would showcase your amazing dried flowers!

[@vinvin1715]

A couple of suggestions I might add. Have you considered a lower tier level on your stand as it would space out the flowers more. Easier on the eye. Also I would suggest a black covering cloth not the brown one as it will make your colours pop more as the cloth and brown paper kinda makes things look a bit flat. Also have you considered a small cooler ice pack in each of the buckets to keep your water cold.

[@DozyRoseyPosey]

Just to say that I really like the intros you do now. At first I thought it was a one off thing, but I really love Ian's sensational voice overs and I'm glad they are here to stay :)

[@ayina111]

Your lily has so many buds, and they are huge! I wish I lived in your area. I would loved to buy those lilies!!!

[@kele1264]

Still doing great despite the heat! Excellent! Gorgeous bouquets as usual - which doesn't lessen the impact! I see in the comments the idea to put an awning over the shed entrance - that's a fabulous idea. Also, someone suggested a glass storm door. Also a fabulous idea. The combo of the two will provide shade while letting folks see inside, and help the air conditioner not work so hard. 🍒🍒🍒 I'm a cherry-holic too. Can't afford to buy them except once or twice a season. Wish I had the room to plant a cherry tree!

[@pang-ngiavang1956]

I am soooo jello of your cherries!

[@laurent3415]

Y'all could move the dried flowers to the sunny spot in the roadside stand during the hottest parts of the year.

[@victorybeginsinthegarden]

good suggestion

We've started doing that, now that we have so many of the fresh to dry styles

A faux door or magicians door with an open and closed sign on it. Just a permanent board/wall put up that’s 2 foot (ish) out from the real door. The board blocks the sun and the customers can walk in from either side. Also an air curtain will help hold the cold air in while also keeping flies and bugs out.

[@bettyjoy6361]

[@PianoVideoLessons]

Another thought....does cooler water help keep the bouquets fresh? Maybe a few ice cubes in the buckets at the stand and the market? (I am obviously not a flower specialist. !!)

[@PianoVideoLessons]

Or stash some buckets with frozen blocks of ice between the flower buckets. ??

[@emilasmith4279]

Stunning flowers as always! So have you considered red tshirts for Ian with the red roof logo in white? Just a thought. Brand that logo on everything. I checked out your website. No logo to be found. 🤷‍♀️ Congrats for another awesome week!!! 🌸🌷🌸🌷🌸🌷🌸🌷🌸

Did I also mention you totally inspired me to get growing as well? 🥰

[@silencedflower8441]

I recommend a little red awning for over the door to the shop. One that you can roll out everyday. Like on campers. 👍🏻

[@dawnwills4800]

A solid glass door for your roadside stand would probably help keep it cooler. 😊

Maybe those dried flowers can also be on the ceiling of your small store as a decor. It will definitely fascinate some customers if they see it. You have the brightest dried flowers.

Can you get a double hung door on the front? Similar to how front doors can have a glass door and a solid metal/ wood door behind it? Edit to say - that way people could still see in but the heat loss would go down.

[@daiseegray9110]

Could you add a glass screen door? Customers would still be able to view inside as they pull up or drive by? This would keep the cool air inside. Also help with the electric bill.

[@meganamante]

I love what you're doing! I've been watching you for a couple years and it's been great to see how you've been able to pivot and innovate along the way. I'm curious what kind of things your competitors are doing at the markets. Do you ever think you'll move into the wedding/event territory or just stick with markets? Do you ever sell wholesale buckets (just picked but not cleaned off stems)? Anyway I'm so happy to see your successes and thank you for sharing this journey with us all. :) . Sure hope the heatwave doesn't spark any wildfires like last year! -Megan (Michigan, US)
