Erin, you are Monsanto’s worst nightmare. 😂 Putting seeds out into the world and sharing your product and knowledge to empower budding plant breeders is unheard of in today’s day and age. Let’s hope this inspires breeders in the crop realm as well! I commend you for sharing this with everyone. I live on a farm and we feel the exact same way about selecting, breeding and caring for our animals as you do about your flowers. The more people understand the blood, sweat and tears that all types of farmers put into their products the more they may respect and value those products and the people behind them. Keep at it - you’re amazing!!! 🌸
What does Monsanto have anything to do with this? So random.
You guys are the type of very special humans the world wants and needs. Thank you so much for doing what you do 🥰

@@MakeCha0sDanceis there a point to your suggestion? Just curious?
I do believe Floret inspired hundreds of farmers to move forward and internally gave lots of courage for others to be bolder and show the world. It all started with that Floret course….such an eye opener.
I don't think I've ever been so excited for a pack of seeds before. The time, love, and dedication you've all put into these is incredible. So hoping to be lucky enough to grow these in my own garden.
I don't know why I get so emotional watching your documentaries, but I do. Thank you for sharing you and your flowers with the world. Simply B E A U T I F U L.
It's the bond & love for flowers... sharing the joy.
I'm sniffing and trying to keep tears at bay too. i guess it's okay to cry for joy and beauty and hard work sometimes.
Totally choked up here, too! What a full circle moment ♥️🎉
Oh my gosh, I thought I was the only one....
I've had the same reaction - I cried 4 different times. It's so moving and so important. It truly exemplifies how we can each take one small step and grow it into something so much bigger than our individual effort.
I watched this with tears brimming. The passion you have for your craft, witnessing your dream come to life, the love DC shows when her hands dipped into the seed box, the open heart to share with us. Ugh, it's so overwhelming! Thank you for doing this and congratulations.
Erin you are such an inspiration. What a blessing you are to the world especially us flower lovers.
Thank you Floret team and dawn creek for starting and working tirelessly on this passion project ❤
Erin, I don't understand the flower seed industry like you and many other people do other than as the end-result box store consumer but, from my perspective, what you have created is the 'farmer's market' type of setting for flower seeds. For those of us who no longer want to just buy what's on the shelf and are looking for a healthier more beautiful option you have closed the gap and have provided us with an option. My mind can't comprehend what you have accomplished but I know my wife and I are excited about it and can't wait to see these beautiful flowers growing in our garden. Thanks!
Beautifully written!
In 2023 my sister and I spent a great deal of the first 8 months of the year going back and forth from where we live in south King County to Granite Falls to get my mom and then head to Mt Vernon for pre op, surgery with a hospital stay and then post op appts. During her hospital stay I stayed at my folks home in our RV and went back and forth to the hospital each day. I can’t tell you how many times I thought about you and the beautiful flowers you grow. My love of Zinnias came from first seeing yours only a couple of years ago. Your flowers bring so much happiness to so many people. Your joy in seeing your vision come to fruition is inspiring. Congratulations and best wishes for a productive 2024.
Hello, your TH-cam just popped up on my phone. To hear how you see your flowers drew me in. I always felt that flowers come from heaven to show us how much God loves us n we should share his love with others thru his beautiful creation, our flowers. God sees us as we see the beauty in our gardens. Thank you for sharing your passion for your garden. New subscriber.
That just brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for writing that!
That's so beautiful.❤
This behind the scenes is so important for people to see how passionate all of you are about sharing this journey of growing and beauty that has a place in all of our gardens. Thank you so much for inspiring the next growing season!
To: Erin, Chris, Jill and all of the amazing flower fairies at Floret Farm, I thank you for looking to the future! I always think of seed packets as packets of hope, things to come, packets of wishes, packets of magic! I sit here in Massachusetts with your beautiful books around me and I am so thankful that you have taken the time in your life, to put out into the world what you have already, thank you! I would like to suggest That you think about writing a children’s book because they are the hope of our future and teaching them about the magic of your flowers and the seeds that they start from it is a beautiful story of nurture and nature, bring the ripple effect to the children of our planet.
Thank you for everything, thank you for the hope in packets❤
I just built a DIY zinnia seed separator from a cardboard box and a computer fan, saves soooo much time!
Thank you! This was so incredibly moving and exciting to watch. I feel like this is such an exciting time. I hope to get some seeds, but really I am just thankful for all the work all of you are doing.
Thank you for bringing the magic of open pollinated flower breeding to the world! They aren't going to be uniform and it's going to be amazing for people to learn that that is not just OK but how the world has traditionally worked!
Wow! Beautiful docu-story of all that has gone into creating these seeds for us to enjoy!
This had me in joyful tears. To find your passion and to have something that lights you up every single day, that must feel like pure MAGICK!!!
KUDOS on all the hard, difficult, grinding and dedicated WORK! That's how things become, through the work put in to make it all happen.
Thanks for sharing your gifts and talents with us, and for creating such beauty for us to enjoy too!!!!🧡✨🧡
Me too! I am so emotional and inspired with this video. Erin is a great storyteller.
Stunning Erin and Chris! Just wow! Cheers to the years of pouring out your hearts. I am so very grateful for you..
Erin, thanks for this warming video. Thanks for sharing and thinking of others been able to do what you do. Your flowers will live forever in homes throughout the world. I can't wait to get my hands in some. Your attention to detail is remarkable!! Thank you and your crew for all you do and the dedication they put into their part of the job. It is a truly tuned orchestra of flowers. Keep on playing that wonderful tune!!
“…and now it’s your turn.” Can’t wait to plant! As always, thank you for the beautiful images and messages (plus stellar camera work)!! ♥️
super lovely film. Big congratulations. I've been following you on Instagram for a while and had no idea this whole time that you had this youtube until tonight when saw about your film. I'm excited for your launch of your own seeds. my reminder is all set!
Merci ! (from Paris) ...for who you are, and for what you do. Thank you for all this work with this precise organization, the beauty of your soul serving the beauty of Nature... spreading beauty and consciousness in this world ❤☀️
It's good to receive your videos and your vibes!
So inspiring and I can’t wait to get my hands on these seeds. I can’t wait to start collecting and saving my own seeds. Thank you Erin.
you are living my dream - this took me to my happy place
What an uplifting beautiful video. Your generosity of spirit and love of what you do is palpable and inspiring. Thank you!
Every endeavor you take on has the investment of love and mark of the hands of all of your team....because you are the leader and model of care. This is exquisite!
Beautiful = Can't wait! and just a heartfelt thank you!
I get really emotional knowing that I have 3 packets of your seeds here in Australia to grow this coming season. We’ve put in hours of work through torrential rain building our large greenhouse/high tunnel waiting for the time to get our seeds started. What’s even more exciting are the zinnia I have been growing in confinement here this past season which I saved seed from and my hope is to grow out our own variety and hopefully find one of your dahlia or zinnia babies to cross with ours and see what we will get the following year. Ive loved our zinnia but only just began growing out varieties of seed collected from dahlia. My poppy grew dahlias for my grandmother and after turning 53 I wanted to create a special selection of dahlias that would live on in other peoples gardens long after I am gone, but also in the hope that my daughters will pass these beauties on to my grand children and great grandchildren. For me it’s the joy in growing something that brings so much fulfilment not only to me but to someone else. Ive told my husband this is going to be a beautiful journey of love that we can grow and nurture together. 🥰
Thank you SO MUCH!❤ From St. Lucia 🇱🇨
Beautiful video! Excited to see these seeds go out into the world.
Your heart shines thru this entire video. I sat teary eyed watching all the beauty and the respect for these little souls🌸You are changing the world one flower at a time!
I just bought the "Bee's Choice" seeds. I'm super excited.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie Cynie to moje ukochane kwiaty Piękne te nowe odmiany Może kiedyś zagoszczą w moim ogrodzie Życzę państwu wszystkiego dobrego Zdrowka i dobrej pogody ❤
thank you so much. i needed that. you are so inspiring as is your team. I feel the energy and you are absolutely right - we need to get back to being independent and not having to rely soley on the large corporation for so many reasons. grow something. it is a truism that if we can grow something, our blue herrin will reveal itself.
So happy for you, so excited to try some of these and so pleased to be able to be part of this. Stay well and remain positive. Thank you.
Love Chris’ rainbow!
The thought care and love that went into discovering these new babies is just ugh ❤️ so thankful that you noticed and took interest in one different flower and it grew into all this new beauty. I can’t wait to grow whatever I can get my hands on out of these seeds this year. Thank you all so much for your hard work and sharing it with us ❤️❤️❤️ so exciting!!!
Thankyou beautiful people. You have restored in me faith that there are still folk who are happy to share their knowledge and while you have to make a living you can still give to others.
I live south of you in Gig HARBOR Washington and was so excited when you came in the scene in thr flower gardening world. I have had so much fun introducing so many local people to your work!!
This was delightful to watch at 3:30am when I couldn’t sleep. So excited to buy the seed packets next week
Wonderful video, you are such an inspiration. I'm looking forward to getting some of these beauties.
Congratulations!!!!! I can't wait to grow them! Thank you to each and everyone one of you.
This is fantastic guys and about time someone is doing it. Lucky you have the space us smaller ones do not. Not only big conglomerates take the profit's but they take the jobs off local people, communities, families, children. They are so greedy. The planet needs generosity not just takers. Been buying your books, watching videos. Very sad I cant get them in Australia!! Maybe someday, somewhere. Zinnias were my Dads favourite flowers my Mum said. As they were the only ones he could get to grow. I grow them for him, he's been gone since 2007, man he would love these. My Grandfather grew and showed Dahlias and won awards for them, at the Sydney Royal Easter show many years ago. Much love to you Erin and all the team. A few sweet peas started this, you must be so proud of all your hard work. And you should be with your fantastic team. Blessings to you all from all of us in Australia. xx
The passion of this endeavor flows over into flower gardeners like me and so many others, Thank- you, Erin and all of your team for letting us have just a small area in our yards dedicated to you all. I'm so excited to order my small little bundle for my yard. I only wish that there was a bundle to get all of them!! Congrats on all the hard work. : ) My angel will love them
Erin, your passion and love for this just ooze from you! You are such an inspiration and I'm so excited to get to purchase some Floret Originals!! They are all so gorgeous!
You, Chris and everyone involved on the farm are a genuine gift to the world. Thank you for sharing all your beautiful flowers with all of us, a breath of fresh air in this crazy world. It always calms me down to watch your videos! Cannot wait to see what is next! This summer I hope to see some of these varieties in my garden. 🌸
Thanks for this video, exactly what I needed today in the cold and snowy Swedish weather. I can´t wait for our growing season to start!
I’m ready Erin. Last year was a tough lesson to swallow but I learned a lot!
Beautiful video and wonderful work you are doing! Thank you for the effort you pour into beautifying the earth.
Who knew flowers could make me cry so many tears of joy. ❤ Such beautiful work you are doing! Hopeful to be a part in a small way.
I enjoyed watching this beautiful video so much. How exciting to see your dreams coming true!! I feel a kinship to you, Kori, and to everyone who touched these beautiful flowers as they turned to seed, and I can't wait to get my hands on some. My fingers are crossed, and I'll breathe a sigh of relief when my purchase is complete on February 6th!! I can't doubt that I'll snag a few because it's surely meant to be!! Thank you and everyone you employ for your dedication and hard work!!
I found this video in my algorithm. Your video is absolutely breathtaking!! I was totally entranced by the abundance of color and verity in your flowers. I love the way you described your friend Kori as a beautiful soul. Saving seeds as well as sharing seeds respectfully is a philosophy I can relate too. I'm now a subscriber!🌸
Can’t wait until February 6th! The flowers are absolutely stunning! If I’m able to purchase a packet of seeds, I’ll be so happy!
i’ve been a farmhand for 2 years at a cut flower farm and we’ve bought seeds from you in the past, the philosophy behind your seeds resonates so hard - putting the control and sense of sustainability and seed saving back into the hands of the growers after all the dedicated years you’ve spent fine tuning the initial breed and seed. Thank you for the work you do! Can’t wait to grow some from this new exciting line 🌸
I am so excited. What an inspiration you all are. This is the start of something special here at our little Chateau Leafloor, if I am lucky enough to secure some seed on Feb 6th!😊
My seeds love the climate in Vietnam and it thrives in it....Cant wait for blooms.
Gosh, I just love this so much! I literally teared up so many times throughout this, the passion in everything you put out resonates so much with me (and, honestly- the entire world). It’s beautiful!
Wonderful video. Although we don't share the same taste in flowers, I admire your passion and dedication. You have found your purpose and obviously enjoy what you do, so I am happy for you. And happy that I found your video.
Your guys’ movies always make me so emotional. The love and care that you put into each seed is palpable. Thank you for taking on such an important mission of seed saving, and teaching generations of people the lost art of gardening. I can’t wait to take part in the magic ✨
I just posted a video about how excited I am for this release and although my wallet may hurt for a bit after they are so worth it. I even started a deep dive on breeding because I am definitely going to start playing with zinnia pollen this season. Thank you floret team for putting something into the world that will bring communities closer together and hopefully help slow down the carbon footprint of imported blooms.
UNBELIEVABLE! Awe inspiring to see such passion! Thank you! 🌸🌼🌺💐🥰
You brought me to tears of joy 💜 ✨ 💐 you have changed my life so much and in such deeper ways 💚 so happy for your journey! For ever grateful Kelly Kellogg floret flower course scholarship winner in 2019
All I can say is wow! I love flowers 💐 but your care for them surpasses anything I have seen. I would like to visit your farm.
Started gardening thanks to floret’s generous resources, making it accessible for all!
Thanks so much for sharing. I love what you're doing well encouraging others to go for it too. 😊
How exciting!! The beauty you’re sharing in the world is really priceless.
That round one Chris likes Rocks and I would love it!!
So proud of you guys. Don’t know you from Adam but have followed for years. You are doing gods work babe’s ❤
Amazing, Amazing!!!! The beauty takes my breath away. I had a very unusual colored zinnia in my garden last year that I saved the seeds from. Im excited to see if any of the seeds produce another one like it this year. You two are inspiring all of us. I love to bring beauty to the world. It makes my heart happy.
I love zinnias so much that I spent $30 on seeds and grew my own wedding flowers. We made all the bouquets, boutonnieres, and decorations from those zinnias, wild sunflowers and whatever was growing that week. I would have loved to have these shades of zinnias back 8 years ago! I’m hoping I can snag some of these seeds so some day my daughter might have the option of these gorgeous flowers at her own wedding.
I am moved beyond words. Deeply inspiring. Congratulations to you and your team for bringing this dream to fruition. I am so excited to grow some Floret Originals in my garden this year.
I see my sister @flowers_feed_the_soul_ and the passion she has for her flower farm. You are truly an inspiration!
There is so much love in what you do. Thank you for doing this at a time when the world so needs it. The prayer flags are beautiful and speak to the intention and reverence you feel for your work. ❤
Can’t wait to get some golden hour seeds- so exciting!! Thank you for your hard work and your beautiful flowers😁
So exciting!
This filled my soul. Thank you for all that you do and I am so excited to grow these gorgeous gems:)
Beautiful! Can't wait!
I'm so excited to grow some of Florets Originals!
You go girlfriends! What a gorgeous video. Can’t wait to purchase seeds!
Congratulations on years of work coming to fruition. I’m glad you are proud of what you have achieved, you should be those blooms are beautiful. An inspiring watch.
I can't wait to add my hand to the touch! So excited for you!
Wow what an inspiring story. Your voice is so calming and inspiring Erin❤
You are such special people! Just warms my heart and I hope I can get online at the right time tomorrow to get my hands on some of these babies!!!! xoxoxo
I’m sooooo excited to grow Floret original seeds!
Am I the only one crying watching this video? All the hearts that’s been put into this is palpable. I remember growing Floret seeds on our tiny deck back in 2020. It was just such a joy. Thank you for sharing this and all that you do, Erin and Floret team! ❤❤❤❤
I can’t wait for Chris’ Rainbow to be released!!
What an inspirational video! Thank you for dreaming big and inspiring change! I am so excited to grow these seeds in my garden.
It's flowers but why do I always cry when one of your shows/ episodes come out?! Just bawling my eyes out. You are born to do this, Erin! Thank you for making these flowers available to the world. Your prayer flags in the greenhouse were probably ending you good vibes too. Cheers to you and the rest of the team who made this happen!
Love the Chris Sunsets ! Red Flowers are great !
I planted my first zinnia 9 years ago, the Lilliput variety, and absolutely fell in love with the vibrantly colored pompom flowers. Your pastel zinnias are breathtakingly beautiful as well, so bold with their subdued hues. Your mission of growing and spreading an amazing collection of seeds is highly admired and appreciated. Thank you.
You guys are soooo inspiring! Thank you for what you do - you bring such joy and beauty into the world. My best friend and I are growing your dahlias and zinnias over here in Switzerland and we are beyond excited😍😍😍
love and eagerly awaiting 2/6.
So inspirational! I have my list and can't wait until February 6th! I hope I can continue breading your flowers and continuing your mission.
I loved seeing Kori's reaction to seeing her seed stock at your farm for the first time. Such a big moment.
This is wonderful! I ordered Dahlia seeds and can’t wait to see them flower. You have put so much love into those little seeds and I think your statement that you don’t want people to have to come back year after year to buy seeds is so special. I’ve seen people talk how expensive the seeds are, but I think of it as investing in the future!
So excited to try your seed and start saving my own. I love it.. keep up the great work.This is truly inspiring and brings back beautiful memories of my Grandmother
Thank you for sharing the process here on YT. Otherwise I for one would have missed it, had it been on another pay cable tv channel. I still have dahlia flowers gone to seed in the garden, today they will be picked for seed drying.
Totally envious here in New Zealand. Maybe one day I will get hold of some of these amazing beauties. Love your videos, living your best life.
I bought some seeds and they are inside under lights doing super. I have 3-4 more weeks til I plant outside. I so excited to see what they look like. Thanks so much for putting you knowledge, time and effort into this.
