I’m glad I found your channel. Your bouquets are beautiful, I’ve never seen anyone bunch their bouquets in a bag of water or your cinched little ribbon. Super genius and so cute.
Wow! Brittany showing all of different flowers is so relaxing. It helps me wine down after a hard days of work. Thank you do much. O really enjoy your channel. Love the flowers too. 🙂💐🌸🏵🌹🌺🌼
I really liked your use of the individual water bags for each bouquet. Can you provide your thoughts on what variety has worked best for you? Thank you.
They really do help to keep the flowers fresh! Especially during the hot summer markets. I actually use piping bags and trim the tops off about 2". I have found the best pricing & quality on Amazon. These are the ones I use: amzn.to/3Pk8sH2 They're under $0.10 a bag, and have worked great for me! Hope that helps
Your flowers and bouquets are beautiful!! I see your just doing stem counts. Are you just doing a set price for all bouquets or are they priced based on content? Have you ever watched Bloom & Gray? She makes these fabulous bouquets and uses ribbons. Thanks
Thank you so much! I’ve really enjoyed my first year flower farming. 😊 As to pricing my market bouquets- I try and keep the majority of them all one price. Currently I’ve been doing $25 wrapped bouquets, and then with the shorter stems I’m putting them in a jam jar with a ribbon for $15. When I’ve got stems that would sell for a little more- or a little less- I either take the bouquets down to $20, or have a few pass stems. Like this week, I’ve got lilies blooming. Each lily stem has 3-5 blooms. So these would be a little bit more spendy and I’ll have a few less stems total. I hope that makes sense! And yes I have watched her channel and I love it! She does such a great job, and her stand is such a great setup. It’s so nice to see how everyone is farming flowers across the world. And I love how she does her ribbons too!
Beautiful flowers!! Thank you so much for sharing. Could you please share the name/ variety of all the plants you introduced to us. Not sure what the names of the two types of basil you used.
The basil is Aromatto and African Blue! We’re there others you were wondering about? Just let me know the time when you saw it in the video and the flower color and I can let you know! I’ll try and keep that in mind to call out varieties for the next flower video-
@@NaturallyBrittany Thank you soo much for responding. Yes it does help us beginners when you take the time out to name the specific plants. I’m looking for all the help I can get from TH-camrs who have the same interest as me. I tried winter sowing for the first time . Had a lot of success. Decided to try seeding indoors this year. I’m in a panic. Not sure when to sow the seeds. Please help! I’ve learned that I’m in Zone 8. Alabama. The seeds I have: snapdragon, sunflowers, zinnias, dahlias, Amaranth, celosia, gomphrena, Dara.
Beautiful cut flowers! Can i ask about foxgloves? I’ll love to pick mine to bring inside in a vase but i hear so many horror stories about how toxic they are even to touch! Is this true? This was my first year growing them in my garden and they were so beautiful! Are they a risk for a bouquet or is it only toxic if eaten, like say a cat or dog? I will say a bunny created a nest under my foxgloves and she had 7 babies who all survived so there’s that, lol. Any information from chat would be wonderful!
thank you for your amazing video! i am starting at my local (but extremely busy) farmers market, in five weeks…i am freaking out. this will be my first season selling at market. can i ask; 1) where do you source your seeds? 2) do you prep the night before the market? thank you!!!!
also struggling with how to set up the market…need to keep it simple for $$$ purposes but i need it to be appealing to the eye! i need to draw people in! any tips? do you have any pics of your setup? i’m so sorry for the questions-but i’ve found this community is so helpful and would rather lift a fellow flower farmer “up”, than “out”.
Hi Brittany! Loved the video! Your flower farm is so pretty 🌸💖 Those radishes looked delicious! Are you growing any other vegetables other than the lettuce and radishes?
Thank you! Hmmm as far as veggies, I’ve got tomatoes, sugar snap peas, pumpkins (that aren’t going to be ready in time with the frost). Green beans, zucchini, I think that’s all for veg..
How do you keep the flowers fresh while at the farmer's market? I've been thinking about taking arrangements to our local market but I worry about them in the heat.
I think my main tips are- keeping them under cover with a shade tent, having water bags attached so they always have plenty of water, and when it's really hot I would actually put a couple ice cubes in the bags! We also brought lemonade to our markets so we had plenty of ice to share with the flowers. ;)
I apologize for not getting back to you sooner! The stapler - amzn.to/3Fgd9PO The baggies- amzn.to/3ZEAQtm The water bags I use aren't really ideal in shape, I have to put the stems in half way and fold up- but they are durable, and do the job! Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions! :)
I noticed that all your flowers have long stems and i wonder if its the fertilizer that you use? Also, where do you buy your seeds for your cut flower garden. Beautiful arrangements!!!
The bags are actually meant for icing cakes! They are pretty cheap on amazon but great quality. Not an ideal shape, but they are thick and I've never had one rip or tear. Here's the link to the ones I use: amzn.to/3ZEAQtm
Hi, I've been doing Farmers Market for two years and using little baggies for a water source. I've been trying to come up with something that looks neater. Where do I get the bags you were using in this video? You put them on the night before...right? Thanks you, Becky
Well thank you! I love growing. :) Making up market bouquets is definitely a different animal than design. It's more about the speed and efficiency, because people will likely be arranging them at home themselves. Your more so arranging them to look nice with your paper style to grab eyes as people walk by at the market. Also the price point is quite different than design work- so it's got to be quick. What sort of design work do you do?
I’ve been watching a lot of tutorials and I can say that it wouldn’t hurt you to have a color wheel and reference it as well as a European spiral technique because it just seems so messy on that white and purple bouquet. It just didn’t have any harmony or flow at least not to my eyes.
First impression re first bouquet. Awful combination, the glads are totally random, mixed with fall fillers. I’d like to see some more small sunflowers on the right to balance. I usually place filler at end, not first and rotate as I hand place. Not impressed. Second bouquet not balanced either. I depend on market flowers so hard to mixed bouquets, but these are just awful IMO
You’re my first ever negative critique! 🙈😆 Thank you so much for your honesty. Please keep in mind that I’m putting together bouquets for the farmers market, with a pretty low price point per stem, and I’m working with product that has been selected for me based on what I’ve got blooming this week. It’s a real challenge to make it all stretch to this many bouquets! A question for you- as I’m assuming you’ve got much more experience than me! Do you think I should be doing a front facing bouquet style for market bouquets? Or placing each flower and rotating? So far I’ve been trying to create a ‘front’ but maybe a round would be better. I know you haven’t been a fan so far- but I do appreciate your pointers if you do continue to watch my flower videos!
@@NaturallyBrittany I think your bouquets are gorgeous and apparently, you’ve been selling to those who enjoy your them! I’m new to flower farming, but I sold bouquets during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays at my local supermarket in 2021 on consignment. I think the ones that did the best were more uniform throughout the bouquet. I used about 3 focal flowers, 3 smaller disk flowers I had bought and a bunch of fillers/foliage from my garden. It’s tough when you work on a budget. My ROI (return on investment) was on average 75%, but it took hours to buy, process, arrange, and maintain the flowers at the market. Anywho, I’m a new subscriber and would like to start at a Farmer’s Market this year. Thanks for sharing your journey!
um, this comment was unnecessarily rude and classless. this is clearly someone who is envious of your lifestyle and instead of complimenting and POSSIBLY adding in a tip/trick, they decided to attempt to insult your craft and tear you down. brittany, you do not owe these individuals anything. even though it wasn’t warranted, you took time to reply and of course, you were so much more professional; and just as i thought, they couldn’t even take the time to respond, even something simple & to the point. as i mentioned, this is because their original comment was trash talk and they clearly have no clue what they’re doing.

I love how the style looks kind of like wild flowers but also looks high end at the same time, beautiful work 🥰🌺
I think that's the prettiest farmer's market wrap I've ever seen!
Thank you! It definitely takes some time to find your wrapping style. I think we've all got a little bit of a different approach!
I’m glad I found your channel. Your bouquets are beautiful, I’ve never seen anyone bunch their bouquets in a bag of water or your cinched little ribbon. Super genius and so cute.
Thank you so much! Yeah I definitely made those little things up ;) Trying to set my flowers apart and keep them lasting as long as possible. :)
Gorgeous dahlias and flowers. The water bag attached is a very clever touch.
Thank you!
Wow! Brittany showing all of different flowers is so relaxing. It helps me wine down after a hard days of work. Thank you do much. O really enjoy your channel. Love the flowers too. 🙂💐🌸🏵🌹🌺🌼
Oh I’m so happy that you find it relaxing to watch! I feel the same way about the flowers. 😊
Your bouquet are very beautiful ❤. I also a flower grower too.
Your snaps are the best I've seen and good sensible advice
Thank you!
I prefer Skyrocket Snapdragons.Tall growing,for cut flowers.
I really liked your use of the individual water bags for each bouquet. Can you provide your thoughts on what variety has worked best for you? Thank you.

So again picking your brain on a price point. The flowers are gorgeous!! Do you calculate a certain stem number cost or by what each flower is worth?
Beautiful arrangements, really loved your special touches with label & ribbon. Simple but elegant💗💗
Thank you! 😘 This has been such a fun year learning and playing with flowers.
Fun to watch your process! Where do you find you black flower buckets?
Do you have a video of planting and layout? And where do you get seeds
Amazing video, wonderful flowers! Congratulations! God bless you!
Thank you so much! 🥰
Hello, your videos are so amazing I was wondering where you get your baggies with water in them and your stapler thanks 😊
Thank you for making such a wonderful video!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m in south texas, hard to grow in our heat. Price point for your large arrangement. Thank you
Where do you get your plastic bags for retaining water? Are they bouquet bags or snack bags?
Beautiful flowers!! Thank you so much for sharing. Could you please share the name/ variety of all the plants you introduced to us. Not sure what the names of the two types of basil you used.

Enjoy watching you. Very interesting
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!

It looks like their pastry bags so maybe a bakery supply?
@@ambethk77 Good idea...thanks!
where did you get the water bags?
They aren't actually meant for floral water bags, but I get them on Amazon! amzn.to/47hj7Mc They are a thicker plastic so they work great. 🙌
How much you charge , small medium, large
So beautiful 👏👏👍👌🦋
Thank you so much!
كم هي رائعة هذه الزهور الجميلة🌸🌺💐🌻
Your flowers are so pretty, but the focal flowers get lost and it looks a tad confusing to me as a designer. Amazing job growing them, though!

Name of the dahlia please...
Love snap drogone smell good
I love them too! I never realized how nice they were until I started growing them myself. 🙈
What state or region do you live in?
I'm in Oregon- Zone 6b. :)
Hi
What location are you in? What zone? TY
I’m in Oregon- zone 7a.
