Summer is here, and the flowers love the heat, but the season of vacations can bring complications for selling bouquets, as customers who are soon to travel are unlikely to buy. This could slow our sales this week as we have noticed this trend in previous seasons. But the power of positive thinking is in us, and this is the first season we are only bringing flowers and no veggies to market, so we are going to harvest all the flowers and make a big pile of bouquets to bring down to the farmers market, and we will do our best to make an amazing presentation to sell all the flowers we can, and overcome the summer sales slump.

So I'm watching Serena clip straw flowers and I noticed that the music and Serena 's clipping are in tuned that's awesome
May is suggest in yourfresh or dry bouquets maybe some fragrant herbs? Chamomile, hyssop, lavender, rosemary, leave those in a hot car and your nose certainly won't regret it!
You Work SO hard
I wonder if at the market you could have a little printed up 'story' with photographs of the farm, explaining you guys history and how you farm organically so ppl can see where their flowers are coming from?
These weekly videos are so great. I love the consistency- the intro, the staying up late- me worrying about your adrenals- the market. I know y’all love being super creative with your videos, but there’s something so comforting about the “weekly show.” ☺️
I LOVE your video editing with Sarina snipping to the beat. You guys are so fun.
Love the snips in time with the music! Great movie as always!
High guys. Faithfully watch your videos and appreciate all the hard work you both do. Question… do you know of any Canadian bulb and plug suppliers who sell to none licensed farmers? I do get my glads from Bolle and Sons but would like to find other suppliers. If you have any advice at all it would be much appreciated. Thanks again guys!
What happens to the bouquets that don't sell? Do you take them to elder homes?
Woah! I've wondered this for a while! I just get arround to asking the question and you are answering already.
Amazing!
Serena’s bouquets are lit! It’s so cool to see how she’s growing as an artist while the business is growing as well.
You should consider taking some of those cherries to sell at the market for a nice fruit snack.
Ingenuous
Beautiful flowers, as usual! Great idea with your long lasting bouquets.
Ian, Wonderful market displays! Love your attitude. Serena, you work so hard. Beautiful arrangements.
Look forward to your videos…
Love the sea holly, what variety are those?
I am sooo jealous of those who live close enough to purchase. I would get flowers every week
Lol once again, I really appreciate that the cuts are with the beat of the music 😀
Every video you have with clipping music i have to save. Is that weird?
Love the blue and white bouquets.
I love the idea of the fresh to dry bouquets. I'm glad you kept the cherry trees.
"Traveler Bouquet" is a great idea and perfect name! A sign with just those 2 words may convert stroll-bys to buyers. Everything you made was bea-u-ti-ful!
I'd be curious if you can make like dried flower terrariums or globe displays. Maybe use sand at the bottom, put the flowers in, arrange like a glass garden and glue the sand and flowers in. Just a thought. I remember my father used to buy square glass displays of dried flowers. I thought they were really beautiful. They couldn't really be moved much or the flowers would fall apart, in which case, we would have to buy new ones.
