Erin, Chis, and all,
I find myself crying at some point during most of your episodes, sometimes at several points. I’m a 65 year old man, that has never happened before. I’m moved, in particular, during those moments when you bare your souls a bit, talk about what the farm and flowers and people mean to you, how they are an expression of your purpose and legacy in this life. That just pulls at my heart strings. I’m getting a little choked up just writing about it now.
Anyway, thank you for this gift. Thank you for creating such breath-taking beauty. (I’m inspired and working daily to create my own cutting flower garden in my yards. Quite a project.) Thank you for showing another entrepreneur what it means to put all of your passion into a business, and how to make work – hard work! – into a transcendent art form. I am inspired by what you two are doing, and the way you are sharing it.

I found Floret Flowers because I have a dream of having a cottage, a puppy and a garden. I’m just got our new dog, Daisy. I started looking at garden shops in Nashville, where I’m locating next year. I saw the $200 price of a bouquet. I understand the pricing, but i thought, I would love to grow my own cutting garden and I fell into the fielded vortex of Floret. I found the documentary and I fell in love even more with the thought of creating my own patch of a cutting flower garden.
I did close my eyes and imagine my first memory of flowers. My grandmother had a garden by the front porch. She had red + yellow lush roses, filled with thorns and a gorgeous lilac bush. When we moved to the Berkshires at the age of 6, I discovered lillies of the valley and apple blossoms. I’ve always loved flowers, wild and greenhouse. So inspired to learn and do the work to create living art. Thank you to you and your amazing team/family at Floret. #carryon

Hi Thank you for sharing all this information and treasures, in S2S3 you mentioned you love access to the farms so why you do not give access and close the workshop at Floret Flower Farm? I am very thankful for all the information you shared, Pictures, seeds. Is not the same like see it in person.

I just finish watching episode one and am blown away by all your hard work and your husband’s hard work and now all your team members. I would never have guessed how much goes into making a business like Floret grow and succeed. Floret isn’t just a business though, the passion, love, and dedication you put into it is something that is immeasurable. I am so glad you have documented everything and so beautifully that it gives me strength to know that hard work is so rewarding. I love your show!

Season 2 has been next level across the board! The “Unlocking the Door” episode in particular was so powerful and brought tears to my eyes. The drive towards sharing abundance, pushing the boundaries on accessibility, and offering knowledge for free so that it may benefit the greater good is so powerful and I hope it inspires others to do the same. I’ve learned so much from the experience of taking in these episodes and have deep gratitude for this beautiful work!

Thank you!

Episode 2 made me cry. You are such an inspiration. I love how you just keep going and try new things.

The cinematography was INCREDIBLE in the 2nd season. I am going to watch it again.

I’ve already watched season 2 twice. Some of the best television I’ve ever had the pleasure to enjoy. Thank you to everyone involved in this creative endeavor.

Very curious how this odd Spring and early Summer has affected the farm. Almost no rain, then this long cold stretch cannot be good for Zinnias.

Love the part about giving back part of the property to nature and the issues that resulted from that. Seems like the internet is full of natural ways to deter coyote and deer. Have you tried anything? Is it working?

Glad you exist. Thank you for making me think about how to live life.

After watching two episodes tonight with my 21 year old daughter, she looks at me and says, “We need to work on our dream, let’s write the children’s book we have talked about for so long.” That is what your words and sharing your story did. It first gave us time together as mom and daughter and second it inspired us to pursue a dream and vision. Thank you for being open to the world. You truly are living a wonderful story.

I enjoyed season two so much, I didn’t realize how long it takes to make each season until I read the behind the scenes post! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge with us.
