How the Floret Online Workshop was born

[@stewbugz5213]

I’m year three of trying to be a flower/ vegetable farm! If it wasn’t bugs it was deer eating everything the last couple years. My neighbor offered to sell us his empty flat lot next to our backyard. I think he has watched my struggles! Slowly but surely I’ll buy all the empty lots in my town! Thank you for your encouragement, it gives me hope. I’m definitely going to look into the course! 🌸💐🌹🌻🌷

Thank you so much Madame Erin and team Floret Flower Farm for your kindness and generosity...😍🌻

Fantastic ❤ I am so excited to journey onward in this endeavor and am hoping the course will be available soon 🎉

[@whitewiz222]

[@kathygoodwin9600]

I know you are such a genuine beautiful person . Watching you made my heart swell with pride for you and all that you have accomplished . Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us. Blessings

[@cathymcgregor-smith7527]

thank you Erin ....i could listen to you over and over ....you were the inspiration for our daughter Janis Harris of Harris Flower farm becoming a successful farm business

[@MarieStephensArt]

I love your story!

[@christieheyblom]

This is literally the most inspiring video I have seen about growing anything ever. I almost cried watching this and realising how possible it truely is. Thank you so much for sharing your story

[@ilenevansittert1585]

omw.... this video made me cry... your story really inspires me and makes me think there is still hope for me and my journey

[@thewolfethatcould8878]

Agreed, report back and let us know how your journey goes!

[@caroldesousa7900]

You can be very proud of not only your wonderful flower course but how you touch so many lives in your Instagram posts on your farm and so many other outlets that you share on. You have been a blessing to me and have helped me in so many ways that you are not even aware of. I want to remember that when people ask me to share. To not be stingy but be open and willing to share and help others just like you have. You have payed in forward a millions time over, be very proud of yourself Erin!

This was such a JOY filled video. I loved seeing the kids, how much they have grown! Look too how you have taken just a little thing and turned it into something that has become so HUGE! I always marvel how you have done so much in what feels like so little time. Though when you follow your heart, somehow it feels that time expands. Perhaps this is possible as you settle into the part of the LIFE project, without even knowing your doing it. Simply fulfilling your life, by doing the same for others with your knowledge, wisdom and incredibly compassionate heart. This has been such a journey to be witness to. Your growth and expansion has always been a testament to commitment, passion and a willingness to risk, fail and try again. Thank you for being a solid voice in this space of flower growing and sharing so much of your heart with the all of us. It has been an incredible gift. Because of your struggles, you have saved so many of us from our own. Thanks ERIN & Team Floret for all you do and for all you share. ERIN, You truly are an EARTH Angel!!!🧡✨🧡

Beautiful comment!

[@rapidhire7647]

I just love all that you & your family have been able to do at Floret, and how very many lives you have touched! It really is about blooming where you are planted isn't it? Thank you for reminding us all of that. Please keep going and growing!

[@sharonrose818]

Thank you for being down to earth. Literally. Giving of your experience and passion so that others may flourish is magic.

[@ElderandOakFarm]

I love that you believe in working with what you have. Its hard to feel like you're doing the right thing when you see everyone else scalong so quickly but I keep trying to tell myself "slow & steady wins the race"

[@dianequist835]

You make this such an inspirational emotion for me. You help me to see this as a real thing. A real deal. ❤

[@thewolfethatcould8878]

That is exactly what I thought. Very moving.

[@AmarEnergy]

Hands down the best investment I ever made was taking this course a few years ago!

[@whitneyhoffman5749]

You’re truly a inspiration. Thank you so much again for posting another video on KZbin. Truly enjoy watching!

[@marciasharkey7151]

Very interesting. Definitely would love the flower course book! I hope that you make it available. Best of luck with you tube!

[@waldoh027]

Love your videos!!

[@cindylouhoo144]

I tried my hand at flower farming this year but found I was more excited to see the flowers go through their life. Saving seeds is my ongoing obsession. Now as well as veggies and herb seeds I'm saving flower seeds. Your videos and documentary are so timely. You are definitely right on track. Thanks to Erin and everyone at Floret😊

[@lindapartyka3878]

I have watched you from the beginning.......always excited for the next video, book, and now KZbin!! I have every book, watched all your mini course videos and will now be a fan of your KZbin video's as well!! You have inspired me to keep to my dreams and I have done just that......I have started my small flower farm and named it after my late mother who passed away 4 years ago! The name, "LoisMae Farms". She loved flowers and love having gardens like her mother and her mother before her. My Great Grandmother Anna lived with us until her passing when I was 17 years old. I learned from all of them the love of flowers and vegetable gardens. But, flowers were the one that got to me!!! I love lover flowers and started making arrangements.....my family and friends liked them so much, that I soon started making arrangements for weddings, funerals, and just whatever anyone wanted. This made me want to just grow flowers for my own arrangements instead of paying for the flowers grown over seas. I wanted a longer vase life! So, here I am......just getting this going in the last year. I am hoping with all the knowledge my mother, grandmother , great-grandmother and everything from your videos and books will allow me to have the flower farm I have been dreaming of. Thank you for all you give back to the flower farm community......forever grateful and looking to give back all I have learned as well to others!! I know this was a bit long.....but, you are just an inspiration for what I love to do so much!!! :)

[@thewolfethatcould8878]

"Be in the moment, and trust your journey"... I will never forget hearing that as long as I live. Very powerful, thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart!

[@theflowerlady3040]

For those of us who can’t afford the course but don’t qualify for scholarships I wish you could just buy the course book and learn a little from that.

[@Flowers4Everyone]

You have worked hard and failed hard and sharing those experiences with people is incredible. It shows professional passion & a plethora of personal drive and passion. Sharing that knowledge is rare and so needed in many industries. Thank you!

[@LaurieGehrt]

Thank you, Erin, for all your encouragement and sharing of lessons learned. I so enjoy watching your programing! I have learned so much. This year we put in a 30x100 and put ourselves in for a high tunnel grant. I counted this year as learning an infrastructure. Next year, I hope to find a market to sell to.:)

[@maryhelenhayes6859]

Love love love! You’re so inspirational ❤

[@esnavanzyl5646]

I also applied for a scholarship this year, it was such a great experience to write my assays 😂 I had to rewrite them 20+ times to meet the 250 word deadline!! I loved this video, it just gives me so much enthusiasm and I know that I’ve made the right decision in pursuing flower farming. What an exciting future! Keeping all my finders crossed 🤞🏻 ❤

[@katieshelton8117]

I don't want to be a flower farmer, but I love to bring bouquets to my neighbors. You have inspired me just the same. I hope your channel succeeds.

[@susanwalkergirl]

Love this Erin! I'm a gardener and appreciate what I can learn from your experiences and resources. This year has had a lot of failures for me, but I've learned lots. I'm happy gardener who had a learning year, along with some success and delights.

[@SusanneLamoureux]

Thank you for a beautiful, sincere video. You are an inspiration to me and finally I found something that I want to do-bring beauty and touch the lives of others.Thank you I want to one day take a course from you-but in the mean time, I will continue watching your videos/reading your blog and reading you books. I sincerely hope that I will one day be in your class and have the confidence to do it in my area.

[@bbowmanj4]

I hope so much I can get the scholarship I applied, but I'm not the most eloquent writer and sometimes struggle to express myself. I decided to be vulnerable and try as I'm so passionate about growing.

[@TeamFloret]

Hi, @bbowmanj4! Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. We know what a big (and scary) first step that is. ❤

[@caseylewis7916]
