The Last of the Summer Flowers - Picking for Workshops on My Flower Farm

[@ginapentecost206]

Thank you for sharing your flower farm with us all Sarah. I've really enjoyed watching as many as your clips as possible. The pumpkin workshop in the tepee looks beautiful, I'm sure your participants thoroughly enjoyed themselves. If I lived closer, I would definitely be joining you. I do recommend to any of your followers to download your bouquet making online workshop I really gained a lot of info from it, that was a stunning bouquet. Still many gorgeous flowers and foliage for this time of year. Best wishes.

I learn so much by watching your channel! I would love to know more of the resources you have used to learn and continue to reference such as favorite books, podcasts and courses you may have taken. Thank you!

[@ECole-le7we]

Your workshops are fantastic! Love the teepee so much!

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thanks!

[@leeannmillet8215]

Thank you so much.

[@40JoCharles]

What a fabulous selection. Your colour choices are stunning. 🥰

[@zowzimmerman7027]

Love your work and amazing resource you provide us! So many questions: 1. Do you use any floral feed with your bouquets? Do you think it's necessary? 2. May be sensitive info but how do you work out your pricing - do you have a standard equation you apply. Do you price per stem or just approximate bouquet size? 3. Do you do you multiple successions - specifically what crops do you do successions for? Once again thank you. So grateful for all your work and sharing so much. You are amazing at what you do in the field and such a great teacher so clear in your information

Gorgeous set up! Definitely goals status 😍

You could use that 2nd flush sedum for dried work

[@WildCornoviiStudio]

Cut sedum lower down. Workshop suggestions. Mini gnome and mini grinch trees.

great video

Hi Sarah I've really enjoyed watching your progression the last couple of years. Such beautiful bouquets. Could you share the names of the Dahlias that you grow, with pictures from the lovely bouquets and let us know the ones that are prolific etc. Many thanks.

[@RuthanneR1]

I would love to see your methods for it's for drying flowers. Do you do more than just hanging them to dry?

[@debm-g6300]

Question: favorite dahlia and favorite grass this year. Thanks!

[@janwilletts1986]

The tepee looks splendid, what a wonderful space! Do you keep it up all year round?

[@bloomandgray]

Yes I do 😁

[@margitamoreborg2764]

You can pick all the sedum flowers and perhaps make autumn wreaths with them. I think all that drops of and the ones "over the cut" can be used for that. Your flowers are so beautiful and I like what you do. Let us know more about the worms and the worm farm. . 💙

[@melaniebrookeray3652]

Thank you for sharing all that you do! I am in the works of launching my own flower farm here in the USA and I have learned so much from your videos. I would love to know more on your pricing. Not to base mine off of but to help guide me as I go through my own pricing venture. How do you come up with a hand-tied bouquet price, do you offer multiple size arrangements and what are the difference in them? What has been your favorite, least favorite, and most profitable way to sell your flowers? I am also interested in starting youtube channel of my own journey - any tips on starting and running a successful youtube channel?

[@pamelajean7617]

thank you so much for all your videos! question - at the beginning of the year when you are planning your garden space, how do you decide how much to plant for each type of flower or filler? what factors do you take into account when making that decision? thanks again 🙂

[@freersam]

Question: Did you notice a difference from the drainage pipe that you installed in the back field?

[@daveswords2112]

Great channel. Quick question do you sow cover crops over winter? I've no idea what's good to use thanks

[@marthaduffy8386]

Is the rat tail statice easy to grow? I've seen the seed in the garden centers for sale and wondered if it's as easy as regular statice to grow? I've always loved the looks on the package but you're the only flower farmer I've ever seen grow it. Yours looks beautiful.

[@clairegill7891]

Question- which dahlias that you’ve grown this year have been best for cut flowers? 🌸 what’s the best treatment for powdery mildew? My Autumn sown snaps have it ☹️🌸

[@potteringaround5631]

Your flowers always seem in perfect condition despite being grown outside. We have issues with them being nibbled or rain spoiling the flowers ie dahlias. How do you get around this please?

[@Redhousefarmflowers]

Heya Sarah I have a question, do you stake/support your dahlias at all? If not, do they hold up okay with the weather, i.e strong winds etc? I keep reading how important it is to stake your dahlias to avoid them breaking in strong winds. However I didn't get around to it this year (a job that kept getting pushed further down the list) and they were fine. So I'm thinking I'm not going to bother next year 😃 I just wondered if you did ☺️

[@judymckerrow6720]

What animals do your raise on your farm? Or do you only farm cash crops? I did see some llamas. 🍁🍂🍁💚🙃

[@judymckerrow6720]

Do you refrigerate your cut flowers to help hold them over? 🍁🍂🍁💚🙃

[@zoningzone]

Hi, Do you have to replant your eucalyptus every year since they are not cold hardy?

[@ragnhildwadahl6171]

Do You dig up your gladiolus corms , or do You leave them and buy New every year? I have about 50 dahlias left in the ground, that are for the compost heap, i have a hard time motivating myself for digging them up, it is negative degrees has been for a while, ground will freeze for winther any day. I just wonder if I leave them, there might be some viruses ( i dont know if there are any- but just in case) transferd to next years blooms from the dead dahlia tubers?

[@cindyseeley2]

Beautiful workshop and flowers. Can I ask, did you put a vase /jar inside the pumpkin or water straight in ? X

[@wordvendor1]

Just stick all those sedum branches in pots and start new plants to sell.

[@karenm5681]

Or you could dry the sedum?

[@suzanne8068]

After cutting sunflowers do you use anything to put on the sunflower stem or in their water ?

[@trentpalendat3713]

How much did you charge for the pumpkin workshop?

[@thegoldenbloomsfarm]

Just found your channel and love what you do and who you are! I am in Canada and planning to start my own cut flower farm next year. Here's a question for you: How much do you charge for your workshops and how long are they (1-2 hours)? I think I saw you having tea and dessert ready. Do you offer this at every workshop?

[@judymckerrow6720]

How did you choose the name of your flower shop? 🍁🍂🍁💚🙃

[@Rootcraft_UK]

I think you sedum is planted too densely. I had the same problem this year but not the year before. Stems won’t get long and strong if they are bunched up and cut much lower. Sedum are indestructible!💪🏼

[@bloomandgray]

I’ve had the sedum planted there for years and it’s always been fine 🤔 I will try a patch cut lower next year
