Ep. 79: Linda D'Arco (Little Farmhouse Flowers)

This week we are delighted to have Linda D'Arco of Little Farmhouse Flowers back to have a conversation about "Flower Sharing" a concept commercialized in the US by Bloomerent.   We discuss what it is, how it affects/could affect us as small flower farmer/florists, and issues around sustainability.  Our theme music was composed and performed by Heather's son Callum, and the challenging job of audio editing done by the uber-talented Laura Eccleston.

"Flower Sharing" Considerations for Farmer Florists (and consumers!): A discussion with Linda D'Arco of  Little Farmhouse Flowers

Becky Feasby

This week we are having a great discussion with two Sustainable Floristry Network Ambassadors, and leaders in raising awareness around all these un-natural and wholly environmentally unfriendly modifications to florals: Becky Feasby of https://www.prairiegirlflowers.com/ right here in Alberta and Linda D'Arco of Little Farmhouse Flowers in New York https://www.littlefarmhouseflowers.com/. If you haven't yet, you must read Linda's thoughtful articles on bleached florals and spray painted florals.    Our theme music was composed and performed by Heather's son Callum and audio editing was completed by the uber talented Laura Eccleston.
