What started at first as a sustainable source of food, my love for flowers is propelling me to pursue my passion to have a botanical farm. Once we get our business registered and the land up and running, I want to take some classes from you and join the collective. I am glad I came across your website. I am inspired even more.

I have a local florist that has asked to purchase from me, but I have no idea about how to charge for the flowers that I will be growing. Can you give me some guidance or is there a chart? Right now my anemone’s are blooming. I’m planning on selling Bells of Ireland, Larkspur, Cosmos, Dara, Cerinth Major, Snapdragons, Chinese Aster, Cafe Ole Dahlia, Sunflowers and Zinnias. So if certain flowers bring a better price or are more expensive, that would be helpful. Exactly what I need is how many flowers for how much $.

Thank you kindly
Katherine

I have ordered a roll of 6inch square netting but can’t find the 9inch. I have contacted Johnny’s Seeds and they don’t carry it. I’m planning on starting my small cut flower garden next spring and look forward to registering with you soon.

Hi Katherine–yes, if stored properly, seeds can be saved from one year to the next. Depending on the variety, you may experience a slight reduction in germination rates, but most seeds will still be viable. Happy gardening!

And want to know can packets of flower seeds be saved to use the following year if there are some left over?
Thank you kindly

I was able to find several flower farmers and florists in my area with the Collective. Flowers give so many such joy, I know for myself the feeling I get when looking at my flower gardens is one of peace, beauty, and an appreciation for nature. I always find myself smiling without realizing it.
Your seed selection leaves me speechless. I would love to purchase some in the future. When do you restock for sale?
Thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge for flowers with all of us!

I clicked Join but quickly discovered I didn’t really meet the requirements to be listed as a flower source. I would still love to use the Collective as a search tool. Is that an option?
