I felt a little ridiculous for crying in the middle of this video, but I started watching your channel when I was in the middle of a divorce a few years ago and you were always a ray of sunshine in my day. You helped me to realize that I could get a job outside that makes me happy and not just work inside at a "respectable" job, so I worked a growing season at a local greenhouse this past spring, started a garden on a friend's back deck, and am about to move back to my home state to start looking for land to start a farm with my partner. I'm so happy to see your success and the pride you have in being part of your community, thank you for being such an inspiration
I think we need to make a poll on how many of us cried through the video! Already watched it and STILL crying so came back to cry with y’all! May God bless the absolute pants off of your family and community! The Lord no doubt is going to bless everyone through your hard work!
You brought tears to this 70 yr old semi retired Nursery owner! I know that excitement, it's so special when so many people are happy and willing to help you. I am beyond words happy for you! I am a sporadic watcher of your video's, envious of your stamina and energy, any gardening is physically hard and what your heading into is going to be much more emotionally draining at times. I just sold my small Nursery less than 2 yrs ago, @ 69, the only thing I miss are my customer/friends. I will be watching regularly and praying for you and your family, may God Bless you and your efforts!
Congratulations Nicole! Thank you for letting us come along on this new adventure! Of all the flower farmers I follow you are absolutely the right one to take this on!!
Nicole is absolute proof that happiness and joy and authenticity and kindness and pride and so many other wonderful attributes are still alive and well in this difficult world! A solid dose of Nicole is always beneficial! May all your hard work and joyous spirit come back to you ten fold!
I am so proud of you! My husband passed away last year and I really haven’t done anything special since then….but, I am coming to your grand opening. Good luck with all the hard work ahead.
what fantastic news, nicole! it's no wonder the entire world is behind you, a woman who exudes joy. if you'd like an architectural consultation for the house, the nursery buildings, or for anything else, i'll be happy to share input - no charge. i'm so very happy for you. jeanne whyte architect inlet ny.
I guess I’m just a blubbering idiot. Nicole had me crying and now all these wonderful responses, including yours, have my spigots turned on again! But they are joyful tears, full of awe at your generous offer. Flower people are THE BEST!!!! 💚
Everyone doesn't really want to work THERE, they want to work with & for YOU! You are an incredible inspiration. Thank you for your gift of enthusiasm. 💐
I love every single second of this. The risk. The reward. The grand vision and the desire for privacy. You're amazing, Nicole. Thank you for inspiring us and showing us that dreams can come true. 😍
I’m not crying…you’re crying! A true testimony to hard work! I know exactly how you feel about the age thing. I started flower farming at 49. Tell me I’m not crazy! One woman band here…🤦♀️ All the best wishes to you! You’ve earned this girl! 🙌🌻
I'm 58, the wear and tear is real and each new season I think, I can't do this anymore. Your wise to be planning for future you. And congratulations. You are a marvel!
The absolute very least that you give to me is a strong, positive, healthy, female presence to take pride in learning from your insight and expertise. Sometimes negative experiences knock one down a bit too many times and it takes a little more oompfh to shake it off and remember and regain your strengths. This morning you helped me remember I have strengths that I tucked away which I want to unveil and bring back to life, my life. Thank you Nicole!
Oh Nicole, you made me cry along with you when you spoke about the community supporting you. You are such a beautiful person, filled with love and joy and people can't help but get involved. Lots of love from 🇬🇧 😍
I am so overjoyed that this dream is becoming a reality. I will be praying that the funding and help you need to make the renovations come together in a timely manner. God bless you.
Oh how wonderful on your purchase of the local nursery! So happy for you and your family Nicole. I don’t blame you for wanting to keep your home and business separate. I know you will do great things and it will be a dream come true for sure. You are so motivating to watch, and just, yay! Yay! Yay! ❤️
It makes sense, now you don’t have to worry about raising seedlings in your basement you will have the prefect environment. And who knows, you may able to supply a much larger area with fresh flowers. Supplying floral shops with out of season flowers would be a great benefit to them and you and with all the people that want to help I can see this becoming a booming business. Flowers by Nicole may take your state by storm! Good luck! 🌸💚🙃
Nicole! You know how when you cry, if you tilt your head back you can redirect your tears? Well I have blown my nose all throughout your vidio!! I LOVE YOU ❤ and "I'm so excited " that you are living your dream! 💓Gram
I knew you were up to something- just had a feeling you were a little quieter than usual! Could not be happier for you, you are going to ROCK this. Congrats!!
Sooooo excited for you and your community! We had a similar story here in my little town in Alaska. A relatively new flower/vege farm bought the only local nursery where the older couple was ready to retire. This is the first heat year for them. It’s amazing! Local pottery and art for sale in addition to their one grown veges, flowers, kombucha and more! Yay Nicole!
I really don't know how I missed this video and the subsequent ones. I have SO many good feels - you really are MY people. Buying a nursery. Buying a loved local store. Restoring/rebuilding a local landmark for the local community. ALL of the good feels. It's just wonderful. I wish you all the luck in the world from across the shores.
Nicole what a wonderful surprise, had been missing your videos. Never would have thought you were venturing forth with exspansion into nursery trade but obviously fits in perfectly with your cut flowers. May i humbly suggest to you the forth house be converted into a butterfly house where you could have shrubs trees and ponds aplace for visitors can sit and relax and watch nature and at the same time see flora and fauna flourishing together. Just a thought knowing your daughter could use her art talent to design an inspirational placeas part of the nursery. Best of luck and keep up the excellent work god bless noel nz.
This episode got me emotional! It's like watching and experiencing a close friend succeed and reach her goals and beyond. (Or like being very invested in a TV show except you're a real person 😂) So proud of you. I'm so excited to see the journey unfold!
This is great Nicole. I'm glad you've found a solution for your privacy and for your future. The fact that it comes in the form of a nursery and more plants! is absolutely beautiful!!!
I just saw the thumbnail and, I had to pause the video. I prepped myself some coffee, got some delicious biscuits, got cozy with my blanket, and then I was ready to hear and enjoy the good news. Wishing you the best of luck with this project, and I for sure will be following you as owning a nursery is basically my dream. Best of luck and God bless you!
Nichole: Its so heart warming to see you explain the wonderful exciting journey you have begun. You are such a joyful and talented women. This all was meant to be for you and I know it will be a great success. I am excited to follow you in as you walk this new path.
Oh my goodness, Nicole. I am SO excited for you, your family, and your community for this new adventure. I have no doubt that the new nursery will grow and bloom beautifully.
I am so happy for you 🎉🎉🎉 You are you are going to be a wonderful steward of the nursery! It will be the pride and joy of your community. Congratulations, friend! 🎉❤
so happy for you all. those spaces are spaces of health, love and joy for a community! and it seems like your whole community knows it will be a space of pure light ✨best wishes!
You go girl! What a journey we have to look forward to and what a blessing you are to your community. You deserve this dream come true and so much more. Hopefully you will have a wealth of volunteers to help with the renovations and no bad surprises..
I am so excited for you!! Such incredible news. I can't wait to watch you every step of the way. A dream come true for sure. So well deserved. You work so hard and bring so much joy and peace with your gifts.
You and jess give me so much hope for my entrepreneurial dreams! I’m just over 30 with a 3yr old and feel so behind in life…. But making plans to start my own flower farm next year!
It’s a good thing you are wearing sunglasses because your future is so bright, you are going to need them big time! Cheering you on every step of the way 💚
I'm sooo excited for you! My biggest regret in the last 10 years was not buying our local nursery. The new owners took everything down and turned it back into a residential property. We all miss it terribly! Sending you tons of good vibes for your new adventure!
Wow, Nicole! Congratulations on your new nursery ❤️🥰 and I wish you all the best. I am so proud of you! This is a huge step but you are so ready for this. Hope you have a good team supporting you.
Congratulations Nicole, I'm soooo happy for you. What an amazing dream come true for you. I know you're going to make your nursery a beautiful place to shop. Wishing you so much happiness and I look forward to coming along in your journey.
First, let me wipe away my tears of joy for you. 😭 This is such a wonderful surprise (don’t know how you kept it secret for so long)! Having watched your channel for over a year now, seeing what a hard worker you are, I have absolutely NO doubt that your new venture will be a smashing success. Looking forward to following the progress as you transform your diamond in the rough into a glorious gem. 💎 Please have someone film your grand opening so we don’t miss anything. 💚💚💚
This is so amazing, Nicole! It gives me goose bumps to hear how all the pieces have fallen into place for you and how it all dovetails into blessings for your family and friends (love that little bit about your MIL!). God is SO GOOD!!! I am excited for you and your family and community. What a treasure you are to all of them! Praying for your continued success on this journey! ❣️❣️❣️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Oh, Nicole! This is so wonderful! Your love for your community is incredible, you make me want to live in a small town like yours ☺️ Congrats! How wonderful!
Those first nervous tears were so familiar!! When I bought my first house I kept thinking I should be popping champagne etc (and I WAS excited!!) but all I could really produce outwardly were tears that felt just like yours looked when you first broke on camera. Oof - making me misty again lol but so glad to see you’ve got so much local support and a good mix of tears from love and gratitude in there too 😅 congrats!
and HEATED greenhouses!!!!! congratulations. I am very excited to see what you accomplish. Thanks for sharing your story. I was crying tears of joy with you!
Ooooooooooh, Nicole! I am so happy for you! If I could still jump up and down, I would. I am jumping up and down in my mind…..the body just can’t do it anymore at 78. A nursery! How wonderful. It’s going to be spectacular. I just know it. Put some seating outside for people to sit and rest and look and contemplate…..where they can linger and basque in the beauty around them and chat. You will be able to grow some shrubs on the farm….as long as they’re deer resistant. Having privacy for your family is very important. It is very intrusive when people just stop by all the time thinking it’s a business that’s “open” every day…..and steals precious time. This will be a good thing. Let me tell you about one of my favorite nurseries….it is an herb farm nearby me in MA. It’s probably an acre and it was at one time a private residence. There are two smallish heated greenhouses and all of the gardens and shrubberies and trees were left in place. It’s not only an herb farm, a good portion of the property is park like. In the upstairs of the house they sell antiques and second hand items….probably on consignment. The bottom floor is a gift shop and one small area is a little tea room where they offer an assortment of herbal teas. They usually will have some home baked muffins or scones or cookies. They also have an area outside where they have put crushed stone and have a few tables with umbrellas and chairs. There are benches here and there as well. The gift shop has local honey, jams, maple syrup, handmade soaps, crystals, jewelry and an assortment of wonderful things, many of which are made by local artisans. It’s such a lovely and peaceful place. It’s more of an adventure than just a place to stop and pick up a few pots of herbs. While it’s on a main road, you never hear the traffic because the landscaping in front of the structure was left in place and blocks the view of the street and the traffic noise. The driveway is on the side of the structure. Once you leave the street it’s like being in a lovely little haven….almost like going through a portal of some kind from the hustle and bustle to the peacefulness of the countryside. I would always set aside enough time so I could enjoy a cup of tea and peruse everything inside and out. I wanted to share that with you. Nurseries are wonderful places…..and I’ve never encountered a grumpy employee at any nursery. Who could be grumpy with all that beauty around? 😊💖🦋🕊
I will be living vicariously through you and your journey as this was my dream once too. I have learned so much from you already. Your down to earth, relatable personality makes you an absolute joy to watch. This is meant to be for you. Everything fell into place exactly when it needed to because it was supposed to. I'm so incredibly happy for you and your family!
Oh my gosh Nicole any time I see you or anyone else cry I start crying right along with lol. I know they’re happy tears but I’m a mess now 😂 I’m so very happy for you and your family, I can feel your excitement and pride through my screen and it’s awesome! Can’t wait to see what you do next girl, CONGRATULATIONS 💕💕💕💕
Congratulations! Trust me, you definitely need to have plans when you do physical work and you’re getting older. I had a plan that fell apart at the end, but I made it to retirement. I’m in northeastern PA, but once you’re open, I’m going to get up there. I’m going to bet I’m not the only one who travels there. You’ll turn that Booneville to Bloomville in no time. Hugs to you!
Well, now ya made ME cry! This is so many people's DREAM, and you're DOING it. I wish I could come work for you just to be surrounded by all the garden goodness!! (I am in Western MA) 😁So I will officially join the channel! I can then feel like a silent partner and live vicariously through you! Congratulations and good luck!! 🍾🍾
How incredibly exciting! Congratulations on pushing forward with your flower farm dreams! If you need more help with renovations, I’m just a 4 hour drive away and would be glad to pitch in! Feel free to reach out!
Congratulations 🎉 you should be so proud!! Sounds like you’re going to have lots of helping hands! I felt every emotion. Being a single mom of two boys. I bought a house in January and after months and months of loan supposed to have been no closing cost. Five days before signing they spring on the closing cost! So all I had saved for the repairs and maintenance I wanted to do was gone! Thousands! So I will keep saving and get to them when I can. Hope to visit your nursery someday! 💓🌱
I am so excited for you as many of your viewers are. You will be fantastic. Retirement is so important to think about because the day does come when you body gives out and you can't work anymore. Very smart move Nicole!
Oh my gosh this is so cool!!!!! That's the Universe saying "this is what you're meant to do. " I'm thrilled for you and your community and can't wait to see this space transform.
You what? Oh no girl you better not have been keeping a secret! 😳whaaaat? weeeeeee. OMG so happy for you! Been in business for 30 years now. Home is home work is work that has to be kept separate. There’s no price tag worth surrendering your privacy. With your determination and golden touch it’s going to be a hit! Congratulations!!! Wishing you enormous success 💕.
Oh my word Nicole, I am SO SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! I know that feeling when your dream comes true, I got my dream of owning a flower shop and it is my paradise. I shed tears of JOY with you, the Lord does hear our heart prayers and answers right on time.
Grow & promote native plants! I was 15 years ahead of the curve as the perennial plant manager. People want to enjoy plants with less need for chemicals & natives offer that. Good luck to you!
My husband and I were just in Boonville this past weekend for his 40th high school reunion. His mom still lives there on Echo Lake. I love your passion for such an amazing community. Will definitely donate and look forward to many, many seasons of future plant shopping. Go, Nicole!!
OMG....I say congratulations with tears flowing for you, your family and your community...I believe you are all blessed. Thank you for allowing us to share a very special part of your life.
Congratulations Doll !!! 🥲🥲🥲😭😭😭😭😭😭 😭 You're killin me!! 😭 In a good way 😄 🔉🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊 Speaking at the county fair??!! What a life you leed ! 💐You're a force of nature!💐 🌱🌱🌱Go for it!!!🌱🌱🌱
Congratulations girlfriend. There is no better job in the world than doing what you love. Wishing you and your family many happy and successful years as you expand your wonderful business. 💕 🤗🍀
Congratulations on Big News and no doubt you will transform that Nursery. I am 48 and I my wish list is a 5 to 20 acre property to plant my fruit trees, vegetables, flowers, grass. I have always love nature. Much success, blessings and good vibes your way, so happy for you.
I hope you realize what a true presence you are in our lives - that we can all cry tears of joy with you in this process. It might be a bit overwhelming right now. I have no doubt that your bright outlook in all that is possible in this world will see you through. I hope we can be as supportive of you as you have been to us. You probably do not realize how much hope you give us in the midst of our flower farming struggles and the positivity you show that helps us laugh at our mistakes, learn from them and to keep growing. Thank you for including us in your journey.
🌺I'm so happy for Flower Hill Farm 🌺 We love you, your heart shaped sunglasses, & family& 🌹 flowers. Beautiful Blessings to your future plans with the nursery.

There are two smallish heated greenhouses and all of the gardens and shrubberies and trees were left in place. It’s not only an herb farm, a good portion of the property is park like. In the upstairs of the house they sell antiques and second hand items….probably on consignment. The bottom floor is a gift shop and one small area is a little tea room where they offer an assortment of herbal teas. They usually will have some home baked muffins or scones or cookies. They also have an area outside where they have put crushed stone and have a few tables with umbrellas and chairs. There are benches here and there as well. The gift shop has local honey, jams, maple syrup, handmade soaps, crystals, jewelry and an assortment of wonderful things, many of which are made by local artisans. It’s such a lovely and peaceful place. It’s more of an adventure than just a place to stop and pick up a few pots of herbs. While it’s on a main road, you never hear the traffic because the landscaping in front of the structure was left in place and blocks the view of the street and the traffic noise. The driveway is on the side of the structure. Once you leave the street it’s like being in a lovely little haven….almost like going through a portal of some kind from the hustle and bustle to the peacefulness of the countryside. I would always set aside enough time so I could enjoy a cup of tea and peruse everything inside and out. I wanted to share that with you. Nurseries are wonderful places…..and I’ve never encountered a grumpy employee at any nursery. Who could be grumpy with all that beauty around? 😊💖🦋🕊
Sounds beautiful!
I will be living vicariously through you and your journey as this was my dream once too. I have learned so much from you already. Your down to earth, relatable personality makes you an absolute joy to watch. This is meant to be for you. Everything fell into place exactly when it needed to because it was supposed to. I'm so incredibly happy for you and your family!
Nicole! I’m so happy for you! If I didn’t live across the country I would be a loyal customer! Congratulations!
Oh my gosh Nicole any time I see you or anyone else cry I start crying right along with lol. I know they’re happy tears but I’m a mess now 😂 I’m so very happy for you and your family, I can feel your excitement and pride through my screen and it’s awesome! Can’t wait to see what you do next girl, CONGRATULATIONS 💕💕💕💕
Congrats Nicole!
Wow, that is so cool. I've been watching you grow from the beginning and have loved every minute. Congratulations Nicole, so so so happy for you.
Congratulations! Trust me, you definitely need to have plans when you do physical work and you’re getting older. I had a plan that fell apart at the end, but I made it to retirement. I’m in northeastern PA, but once you’re open, I’m going to get up there. I’m going to bet I’m not the only one who travels there. You’ll turn that Booneville to Bloomville in no time. Hugs to you!
Yayyy I'm so happy for you!!!! I can't wait to watch it all unfold!!!!! Congratulations!
Well, now ya made ME cry! This is so many people's DREAM, and you're DOING it. I wish I could come work for you just to be surrounded by all the garden goodness!! (I am in Western MA) 😁So I will officially join the channel! I can then feel like a silent partner and live vicariously through you! Congratulations and good luck!! 🍾🍾
How incredibly exciting! Congratulations on pushing forward with your flower farm dreams! If you need more help with renovations, I’m just a 4 hour drive away and would be glad to pitch in! Feel free to reach out!
Congratulations 🎉 you should be so proud!! Sounds like you’re going to have lots of helping hands! I felt every emotion. Being a single mom of two boys. I bought a house in January and after months and months of loan supposed to have been no closing cost. Five days before signing they spring on the closing cost! So all I had saved for the repairs and maintenance I wanted to do was gone! Thousands! So I will keep saving and get to them when I can. Hope to visit your nursery someday! 💓🌱
Wow!!! So excited for you!!!
Congratulations Nicole on your new purchase 💜 How exciting! If anyone can make this a success it would be you!
I am so excited for you as many of your viewers are. You will be fantastic. Retirement is so important to think about because the day does come when you body gives out and you can't work anymore. Very smart move Nicole!
Oh my gosh this is so cool!!!!! That's the Universe saying "this is what you're meant to do. " I'm thrilled for you and your community and can't wait to see this space transform.
You what? Oh no girl you better not have been keeping a secret! 😳whaaaat? weeeeeee. OMG so happy for you!
Been in business for 30 years now. Home is home work is work that has to be kept separate. There’s no price tag worth surrendering your privacy. With your determination and golden touch it’s going to be a hit! Congratulations!!!
Wishing you enormous success 💕.
And I must add…. no greenhouse of yours would be complete without a wild selection of sunglasses 😂🤞
Oh my word Nicole, I am SO SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! I know that feeling when your dream comes true, I got my dream of owning a flower shop and it is my paradise. I shed tears of JOY with you, the Lord does hear our heart prayers and answers right on time.
Congratulations, we are all excited for you and your family. Best wishes!
March 13 is my birthday. And a great flower friend gift 🎉🌻
Grow & promote native plants! I was 15 years ahead of the curve as the perennial plant manager. People want to enjoy plants with less need for chemicals & natives offer that. Good luck to you!
1200 miles...19hrs of driving, one way...certainly doable. Road Trip Spring 2023...booked!
Nicole - I'm Kari from Rustic Springs Farm in Johnstown, PA. Congratulations!!!!! So excited for you!
Oh my gosh!!!! I am soooo excited and happy for you!! Coming to see you is on my bucket list. Bless you and your hard work!!!
My husband and I were just in Boonville this past weekend for his 40th high school reunion. His mom still lives there on Echo Lake. I love your passion for such an amazing community. Will definitely donate and look forward to many, many seasons of future plant shopping. Go, Nicole!!

I have no doubt that your bright outlook in all that is possible in this world will see you through. I hope we can be as supportive of you as you have been to us. You probably do not realize how much hope you give us in the midst of our flower farming struggles and the positivity you show that helps us laugh at our mistakes, learn from them and to keep growing. Thank you for including us in your journey.
