Thanks for all your information and the wonderful presentation. I’m glad I found you!

[@ravenwoodfarms1957]

Great video Kristen! West Coast Seeds is my favorite Canadian source for seeds

[@alligator_pie]

I love WCS!

[@cyndicunanan400]

Good tips, thanks. Also love the “magic erase hand” in the bloopers 😂

[@donutdomination139]

I would love to see how you wrap your bouquets. I find everyone has their own way. 💐

[@ShiftingRoots]

I’ll definitely do a video in the summer, although I find that I wrap my bouquets 3 different ways, depending on how the flowers are sitting.

[@yolandapierce4258]

Could I? Absolutely lol I planted Zinnias last year and thought I was going to love them; I did not :( They did great and were tall and beautiful, but they were my least favorite for some reason.

[@melweismann]

Why do you only have 17k subscribers?! This is so useful :)

[@ShiftingRoots]

Thank you!! I wish it was more too, but I’m happy to serve whoever is here.

[@malsa5683]

Love your videos. Could you do a video on DIY hanging flower baskets? I love hanging baskets but they are expensive and they don't have that much variety. Thanks

[@ShiftingRoots]

Absolutely! I could do one in May

[@EvelynM-vlogs]

As someone who grows cut flowers on a micro urban plot, a video like this for people who have minimal space would also be super helpful. Not to me, but to others. For me, the price of seeds/bulbs etc. is not the issue, the best use of space is, however, super important.

[@darlenemacdonald206]

Will you show what you start & what date & which of these you just direct seed? Thank you. Please tell more about your class. Thanks

[@rachelburak6228]

I am looking forward to garden updates and bouquets with these plant selections!!

[@Denise-wj4yy]

I came across your videos and I really love them thank you for sharing 💜

[@terrimcclain-dentz1495]

I have no plans for a cut flower garden (not enough full sun space) but I really enjoy your channel. I'm in MN zone 4.

[@blommfleuriste]

Great selection! I got eucalyptus, sweet peas, persian cress, cloud grass, yarrow and purity cosmos from WCS this year. Their shipping is very fast compared to other suppliers!

[@michellemullally9217]

This is the year I go for it!!! I started following you at the beginning of 2020. To say I’m Super excited is beyond the truth. Because of your tips and lessons I took a simple vegetable and small flower garden to new heights. I had random neighbors stopping by asking all kinds of questions and everyone enjoyed the beautiful that bloomed. Thank you 🙏🏼 for everything ❤️❤️❤️ Also the affiliate link here is not an active link I don’t know if you are aware or not. Ty again -MiMu

[@sandraengstrand2784]

Beautiful seeds, great video!! 🌱🌱🌱☀️🌷🌻

[@alissaeyre8302]

This is wonderful!

[@mienkedezoete2146]

Thanks for sharing, I just now placed an order with West Coast Seeds for some of the dahlias you mentioned and was happy to see that they were still available 😊

[@ahavarichardson5426]

TFS! I have purchased and planted many of the seeds you mentioned! I have lots on it's way to get started on!! I'm so excited for the 1st season and so far I haven't added up the cost yet for this new ENDEAVOR! I know will be successful. I love at the tiny flowers now and worry "Are they going to get big?" Especially the Lisianthus!! Compared to the Sunflowers!! Lol The best advice I could give would be "Patience" Good luck to everyone who is thinking about starting a flower farm.

[@mjsenesac]

Loved this video! I need to map out when my seeds will bloom to see where my gaps are

[@GreenFamily2007]

I love this!

[@rosemacdougall2967]

Thank you Kristen!! I am pleased with my choices now. I am doing a second round of baby's breath this year though because they did fizzle out. Also, out the Rose Lilies at West Coast. Great price too!

[@sarahmunoz14]

Great questions for people considering a cut flower garden and looking at costs. I used West Coast seeds in the past but more for vegetable gardening and complementary pollinator flowers. I don’t know that I would recommend $5 for 20 sunflower seeds to people on a budget.

[@ShiftingRoots]

It’s true, it was definitely a splurge in the budget, but they really are a better cutting sunflower than the other ones.

[@blommfleuriste]

It's a matter of preference. For the same 5$ spent, someone might prefer to look at 20 sunflowers than 500 marigolds. Flowers are such a sentimental choice 🥰

[@madaboutflowers3136]

Thank you for a great video. I'm located in Prince George, BC, and I'm always looking for channels that garden in the same zone. I might have to take a trip to the garden centre tomorrow to pick up a few more seeds. I'm hoping to sell a few cut flowers this year, but ill also and happy if I use this year as a practice run.

[@ShiftingRoots]

Having a practice year is a really good idea, and if a few bouquets end up selling, all the better!

[@gene7733]

do you know if their lilys are perennial to zone 3 or you need to dig them out for the winter. I am in Quebec. Tell us about your lilies too ( varieties , blooming time, vase life etc. Thx for the videos

[@giomammina8965]

Scabiosa and eucalyptus are one of my dream flowers/foliage. In all honesty, looking for seeds aren't a probs for me. It's the pests that are my number concern. Can you do a video about this pls Thank you in advance.

[@ShiftingRoots]

Sure! Although it will likely be in the summer.

[@giomammina8965]

@@ShiftingRoots Thank you!!

[@Ruseofpoison]

Just a note to USA watchers/customers: I got super excited about the dahlia prices and went to the website immediately. Unfortunately there's a note on the dahlia listings that say "*Please note, this product cannot be shipped to the USA.*". Cue the sad trombone. Handy video otherwise!

[@ShiftingRoots]

Sorry about that!

[@jamialllyn1481]

I find that the lilies die quickly (in CT) do you have this issue?

[@ShiftingRoots]

Somewhat. They only last around a week or two
