I can’t tell you how much I enjoy these interviews from mature, experienced women! 🌸 all talented successful ✨
Wow, thank you! x
What a treat and for anyone who bemoans the price of wedding flowers do a double take at the organisation under great pressure to deliver the best, total dedication,taste in colour palates, the work is relentless for all involved with design,and growing beautiful blooms thank-you wonderful ladies for all your effort, passion and dedication.☺xx.
So nice of you x
@@theflowerfarmer You are most welcome!
Love the variety of your workroom, garden, field trips to other creatives and of course, Googies!
Glad you like them! x
I am loving your chats and visits with your amazing friends., mixed with your own garden and work you do daily. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
You are an inspiration.
You are so welcome x
A very interesting conversation ,I learned so much.
Cheers from Australia.
Glad you enjoyed it! x
Your interviews with all of these lovely ladies have been absolutely delightful and so informative! I'll never look at another wedding flower the same way. Nor will I ever again look at a bouquet at the farmers' market without thinking about the weeks of work that goes into every stem and the praying to the weather gods to bring the blooms from seed to harvest to profit for the hardworking farm families who give up so much to bring us their beautiful blooms. Since finding your channel two weeks ago and spending hours watching your videos, I've had an entire education into a subject I had never given much thought to before. Thank you so much from Canada!
so pleased you enjoyed it x
That episode was so impressive and informative . I had no idea of the amount of preparation and coordination went into wedding flowers. I can appreciate your intense enthusiasm and dedication to producing a beautiful and exceptional end product.
thank you x
Fantastic chat and so informative. What hard workers you both are! Georgie your outfit was lovely and your hair looked lovely down 😊
Glad you enjoyed it x
That was brilliant. Thank you both. So interesting, and I completely understand her need for everything to be tidy and not chaotic 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! x
Truly enjoy the interviews/visits with other professional women!
you're very welcome x
Thank you for giving me the confidence boost! I’m diving hard. Wonderful to have such amazing mentors.
go for it x
Wow, what a fabulous insight into the incredible workload & pressure that goes into being a top wedding florist. X
Glad you enjoyed it! x
Amazing interview! Just hearing a bit of her process is fascinating. The work on her website is GORGEOUS!!!!
so pleased you enjoyed it -and yes, her work is stunning x
Thank you, that was indeed very interesting. I no longer consider working with flowers a calming experience. Is it worth all the stress? What a lot of extraordinary wealthy and spoilt people there must be.
glad you found it interesting - I think it's very important we aren't too judgemental about how others spend their money, especially if it means we can make a living xxx
This was great! To hear the details and planning that goes on was eye opening. So much work and experience to be at this level! Bravo! Thank you for this one. Now to the website...
Glad you enjoyed it! x
This has been so informative and enjoyable to watch. Thank you both.
Glad you enjoyed it! x
Lovely and informative interview. Thank you ladies 💐
Glad you enjoyed it! x
I was equally fascinated and stressed watching this!😅 The amount of work is astounding. And what is not in your control would keep me awake.😂 Well done both of you.❤
Glad you enjoyed it! x
Very interesting, however I would have really enjoyed visuals of her property and gardens while listening to this content. ❤
sadly the rain was BUCKETING down while I was there or we might have spent more time in the garden - but the chat I thought was so interesting for people in the cut flower business that it didn't need extra visuals - equally I considered editing in images from her website but thought if people were interested they'd click through and have a look from the blurb. x
Fascinating!
glad you enjoyed x
That was so interesting, thank you so much. As a NAFAS Flower Club member for many years and using floral foam for mechanics I’m so pleased that with your helpful influence I now arrange my flowers in a vase ! When Caroline was talking about mechanics she referred to a “pillow” that she would use in the container that she showed us. What is that please. Thank you as always for your helpful tips. 💐💐💐💐
Caroline has pillows made by Holly Chapple www.hollychappleflowers.com/ but you could make the cushions with chicken wire if you like x
Thank you both for a fascinating chat, it was good to hear about the process of organising wedding flowers and how much time it takes. I was also glad to know that someone else’s books breed all by themself, but like you I wouldn’t be without them! Have a good season both of you.
Glad you enjoyed it! x
Very interesting. Not for the timid
lol - no xxx
Love all your vlogs and these are wonderful too! I love seeing inside others houses and hearing their stories x
thank you so much x
Loved this!
thank you Stacey x
Georgie, thank you so much for this interview. I have learnt so much. I so much wished to have a general cost for a big event. I guess that would be pushing it too far 😂. Thanks again.
no such thing as a general cost as it's always bespoke - that's the thing xxx
I love red! ❤
me too - funnily enough I arrived and Caroline was wearing a red and pink striped sweater so clearly I know nothing x
A brilliant vlog....Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it x
Can you spell the name of that fantastic jumper since I can’t find it under arbe x love your flowers and vlogs are great ! Greeting from cold Northumberland, do you grow Clary ! purple is best seeds from Sarah Raven and great for picking ! Would not be without it and nor would you.
Even a pewter bowl filled with it looks fabulous x please try it if you haven’t x Josie
Glad you like the vlogs - the sweater is from Eribe Knitwear - hello Northumberland! and yes I do grow Clary. I'm growing Turkestanica this year.
ceci est un bijou! merci!
you're very welcome x
Hi! From Atlantic Canada,New Brunswick.All the gardens you show are simply beautiful but I have one question to ask.How do you deal with the dreaded deer!! I get so frustrated 😡
here at Common Farm we have deer fenced the whole seven acres x
How do I get my books to breed? Do you dinner and dancing? Poetry reading? Hope that you are brimming with business, and that season is interesting, exciting and smart😘
lol xxx thank you xxx
What are pillows?
they are sort of frames - you might make them yourself out of chicken wire, which the flowers can be arranged through x
What is a florist pillow please? 😊
it's like a frame you put on the vessel through which you can arrange the flowers - a bit like making a ball of chicken wire which does the same x
So good yo meet up with other women running a business. May I ask what did you say you put in your arm and got to know howe your health was? I was a bit lost in translation. Must be domwthing for me 😊
we both did the Zoe testing to see how our gut biomes worked and how we react to carbs and fats - fascinating! x
An interesting chat, but a few photographs of her creations would have given it more meaning I think 😢
I'm hoping people will go over to her website to see - I think if I'd put pics in it would have looked untidy but her website is breathtaking x
@@theflowerfarmer perfectly understandable! Love watching your videos all the way from Brazil, your floral arrangements are stunning, you’re a very gifted lady & I expect now that Spring is on its way your garden is going to burst into a display of colour and we can expect lots of beautiful floral work, thank you! 👏👏😍👏👏
Great insight into big scale wedding flowers, I am definitely not going there 😂
lol - glad it was helpful x
Caroline has no Flowers in her room?
like me - very rarely flowers at home as so many flowers to work with xxx
Don’t want to pry Georgie but how’s your dad I’d he ok?are you all ok?thinking of you all 😚💐
he's much recovered thank you xxx
@@theflowerfarmer so pleased to hear Dad is better, my mummy is 95 I hate it when she gets poorly. I’m so selfish I don’t want to loose her 😔😌
