What a nice time with 3 lovely smart ladies! Anne
This was packed full of wonderful information. I took Ellen's on line workshop about selling to florists. I'm going into my second year of growing flowers on a large scale and I'm making sure to lean heavy on growing things that can be dried. I met up with a local willow nursery in my area and am making room on my farm to grow specific varieties of willow to make my own wreaths for the dried flowers that I will grow and I'm going to grow my own curly willow for arrangements as well. I'm so excited to be able to work with dried flowers again. I'm in my 50s and I can remember when dried flowers were so popular a while back. Your channel is such a wonderful resource!!!
Thanks for your videos from Spain, they are very useful. I've just bought one of your book, and I love it too.
