Let Me Introduce You: Floret Original Flowers

To celebrate the release of the Floret Original seed varieties out into the world we created a special new film all about this endeavor. It includes the mission behind the project, more about each flower variety, and the many, many hands that have made it all possible.

You guys are the type of very special humans the world wants and needs. Thank you so much for doing what you do 🥰

Check the price of each pack of seeds

[@debrahightower2807]

@@MakeCha0sDanceis there a point to your suggestion? Just curious?

[@jackieyoung3359]

Erin, you are Monsanto’s worst nightmare. 😂 Putting seeds out into the world and sharing your product and knowledge to empower budding plant breeders is unheard of in today’s day and age. Let’s hope this inspires breeders in the crop realm as well! I commend you for sharing this with everyone. I live on a farm and we feel the exact same way about selecting, breeding and caring for our animals as you do about your flowers. The more people understand the blood, sweat and tears that all types of farmers put into their products the more they may respect and value those products and the people behind them. Keep at it - you’re amazing!!! 🌸

[@thedivide3688]

What does Monsanto have anything to do with this? So random.

[@cassieferguson2068]

I don't think I've ever been so excited for a pack of seeds before. The time, love, and dedication you've all put into these is incredible. So hoping to be lucky enough to grow these in my own garden.

[@luminousblooms2848]

I do believe Floret inspired hundreds of farmers to move forward and internally gave lots of courage for others to be bolder and show the world. It all started with that Floret course….such an eye opener.

[@jilllampe9781]

I don't know why I get so emotional watching your documentaries, but I do. Thank you for sharing you and your flowers with the world. Simply B E A U T I F U L.

[@sarabeescutflowersmore795]

It's the bond & love for flowers... sharing the joy.

[@milliebatt]

I'm sniffing and trying to keep tears at bay too. i guess it's okay to cry for joy and beauty and hard work sometimes.

[@nicoledwyer1049]

Totally choked up here, too! What a full circle moment ♥️🎉

[@tammiwetzler6335]

Oh my gosh, I thought I was the only one....

[@jilllacina801]

I've had the same reaction - I cried 4 different times. It's so moving and so important. It truly exemplifies how we can each take one small step and grow it into something so much bigger than our individual effort.

[@stevo4535]

I just built a DIY zinnia seed separator from a cardboard box and a computer fan, saves soooo much time!

[@lazydaznc]

Erin you are such an inspiration. What a blessing you are to the world especially us flower lovers.

[@MoonchildBloomsFF]

Thank you Floret team and dawn creek for starting and working tirelessly on this passion project ❤

[@Sunny14136]

Wow! Beautiful docu-story of all that has gone into creating these seeds for us to enjoy!

[@JammieForeman]

Thanks so much for sharing. I love what you're doing well encouraging others to go for it too. 😊

[@Serendipity_Strawberry_Farm]

I get really emotional knowing that I have 3 packets of your seeds here in Australia to grow this coming season. We’ve put in hours of work through torrential rain building our large greenhouse/high tunnel waiting for the time to get our seeds started. What’s even more exciting are the zinnia I have been growing in confinement here this past season which I saved seed from and my hope is to grow out our own variety and hopefully find one of your dahlia or zinnia babies to cross with ours and see what we will get the following year. Ive loved our zinnia but only just began growing out varieties of seed collected from dahlia. My poppy grew dahlias for my grandmother and after turning 53 I wanted to create a special selection of dahlias that would live on in other peoples gardens long after I am gone, but also in the hope that my daughters will pass these beauties on to my grand children and great grandchildren. For me it’s the joy in growing something that brings so much fulfilment not only to me but to someone else. Ive told my husband this is going to be a beautiful journey of love that we can grow and nurture together. 🥰

[@michellep1592]

This behind the scenes is so important for people to see how passionate all of you are about sharing this journey of growing and beauty that has a place in all of our gardens. Thank you so much for inspiring the next growing season!

[@janetkemper9177]

Thank you! This was so incredibly moving and exciting to watch. I feel like this is such an exciting time. I hope to get some seeds, but really I am just thankful for all the work all of you are doing.

[@sarasimpkins822]

I watched this with tears brimming. The passion you have for your craft, witnessing your dream come to life, the love DC shows when her hands dipped into the seed box, the open heart to share with us. Ugh, it's so overwhelming! Thank you for doing this and congratulations.

[@cherylpresleigh6403]

In 2023 my sister and I spent a great deal of the first 8 months of the year going back and forth from where we live in south King County to Granite Falls to get my mom and then head to Mt Vernon for pre op, surgery with a hospital stay and then post op appts. During her hospital stay I stayed at my folks home in our RV and went back and forth to the hospital each day. I can’t tell you how many times I thought about you and the beautiful flowers you grow. My love of Zinnias came from first seeing yours only a couple of years ago. Your flowers bring so much happiness to so many people. Your joy in seeing your vision come to fruition is inspiring. Congratulations and best wishes for a productive 2024.

[@darilynnannescifo]

“…and now it’s your turn.” Can’t wait to plant! As always, thank you for the beautiful images and messages (plus stellar camera work)!! ♥️

[@janiebiel2355]

Stunning Erin and Chris! Just wow! Cheers to the years of pouring out your hearts. I am so very grateful for you..

[@LittleKi1]

Thank you for bringing the magic of open pollinated flower breeding to the world! They aren't going to be uniform and it's going to be amazing for people to learn that that is not just OK but how the world has traditionally worked!

[@judydaley4063]

So inspiring and I can’t wait to get my hands on these seeds. I can’t wait to start collecting and saving my own seeds. Thank you Erin.

[@bernadettajedynak5757]

[@BCBRENDA]

Hello, your KZbin just popped up on my phone. To hear how you see your flowers drew me in. I always felt that flowers come from heaven to show us how much God loves us n we should share his love with others thru his beautiful creation, our flowers. God sees us as we see the beauty in our gardens. Thank you for sharing your passion for your garden. New subscriber.

Wonderful video, you are such an inspiration. I'm looking forward to getting some of these beauties.

[@deidralewandowski2659]

thank you so much. i needed that. you are so inspiring as is your team. I feel the energy and you are absolutely right - we need to get back to being independent and not having to rely soley on the large corporation for so many reasons. grow something. it is a truism that if we can grow something, our blue herrin will reveal itself.

[@k8ty_kate578]

Thank you SO MUCH!❤ From St. Lucia 🇱🇨

[@WendiGardens]

super lovely film. Big congratulations. I've been following you on Instagram for a while and had no idea this whole time that you had this youtube until tonight when saw about your film. I'm excited for your launch of your own seeds. my reminder is all set!

[@user-ud9lf7pf5b]

Every endeavor you take on has the investment of love and mark of the hands of all of your team....because you are the leader and model of care. This is exquisite!

[@3kidmama]

Beautiful = Can't wait! and just a heartfelt thank you!

[@capecodcottagegarden]

This filled my soul. Thank you for all that you do and I am so excited to grow these gorgeous gems:)

[@darinbennett3638]

Erin, I don't understand the flower seed industry like you and many other people do other than as the end-result box store consumer but, from my perspective, what you have created is the 'farmer's market' type of setting for flower seeds. For those of us who no longer want to just buy what's on the shelf and are looking for a healthier more beautiful option you have closed the gap and have provided us with an option. My mind can't comprehend what you have accomplished but I know my wife and I are excited about it and can't wait to see these beautiful flowers growing in our garden. Thanks!

[@thewolfethatcould8878]

Beautifully written!

[@susiefrederickson660]

I live south of you in Gig HARBOR Washington and was so excited when you came in the scene in thr flower gardening world. I have had so much fun introducing so many local people to your work!!

[@amyjones2490]

You go girlfriends! What a gorgeous video. Can’t wait to purchase seeds!

[@stevemurray6543]

So happy for you, so excited to try some of these and so pleased to be able to be part of this. Stay well and remain positive. Thank you.

KUDOS on all the hard, difficult, grinding and dedicated WORK! That's how things become, through the work put in to make it all happen. Thanks for sharing your gifts and talents with us, and for creating such beauty for us to enjoy too!!!!🧡✨🧡

I enjoyed watching this beautiful video so much. How exciting to see your dreams coming true!! I feel a kinship to you, Kori, and to everyone who touched these beautiful flowers as they turned to seed, and I can't wait to get my hands on some. My fingers are crossed, and I'll breathe a sigh of relief when my purchase is complete on February 6th!! I can't doubt that I'll snag a few because it's surely meant to be!! Thank you and everyone you employ for your dedication and hard work!!

[@maureenfollen3977]

To: Erin, Chris, Jill and all of the amazing flower fairies at Floret Farm, I thank you for looking to the future! I always think of seed packets as packets of hope, things to come, packets of wishes, packets of magic! I sit here in Massachusetts with your beautiful books around me and I am so thankful that you have taken the time in your life, to put out into the world what you have already, thank you! I would like to suggest That you think about writing a children’s book because they are the hope of our future and teaching them about the magic of your flowers and the seeds that they start from it is a beautiful story of nurture and nature, bring the ripple effect to the children of our planet. Thank you for everything, thank you for the hope in packets❤

[@abbiebullard4773]

Who knew flowers could make me cry so many tears of joy. ❤ Such beautiful work you are doing! Hopeful to be a part in a small way.

[@corifry1052]

I’m ready Erin. Last year was a tough lesson to swallow but I learned a lot!

[@lcox6468]

This is fantastic guys and about time someone is doing it. Lucky you have the space us smaller ones do not. Not only big conglomerates take the profit's but they take the jobs off local people, communities, families, children. They are so greedy. The planet needs generosity not just takers. Been buying your books, watching videos. Very sad I cant get them in Australia!! Maybe someday, somewhere. Zinnias were my Dads favourite flowers my Mum said. As they were the only ones he could get to grow. I grow them for him, he's been gone since 2007, man he would love these. My Grandfather grew and showed Dahlias and won awards for them, at the Sydney Royal Easter show many years ago. Much love to you Erin and all the team. A few sweet peas started this, you must be so proud of all your hard work. And you should be with your fantastic team. Blessings to you all from all of us in Australia. xx

[@yvonnecox9997]

You, Chris and everyone involved on the farm are a genuine gift to the world. Thank you for sharing all your beautiful flowers with all of us, a breath of fresh air in this crazy world. It always calms me down to watch your videos! Cannot wait to see what is next! This summer I hope to see some of these varieties in my garden. 🌸

[@peonyqueen9672]

I found this video in my algorithm. Your video is absolutely breathtaking!! I was totally entranced by the abundance of color and verity in your flowers.

[@savannahfowler8168]

I love zinnias so much that I spent $30 on seeds and grew my own wedding flowers. We made all the bouquets, boutonnieres, and decorations from those zinnias, wild sunflowers and whatever was growing that week. I would have loved to have these shades of zinnias back 8 years ago! I’m hoping I can snag some of these seeds so some day my daughter might have the option of these gorgeous flowers at her own wedding.

[@KatieTX_Gardener]
