I'm a nursery guy, and I don't know much about cut flowers, but GOOD GRIEF!! Serena, your flowers look great, your prices seem reasonable, and if you guys keep doing what you're doing, you're going to sell EVERYTHING you can produce! So, so good. Enjoyed the video. Kudos for all the hard work in producing the video.
I think you should have a big floral mural on the roadside stand to catch attention and become a “photo spot”. Perhaps you could trade flowers with a local artist and they could advertise in the stand?
Totally agree and on a branding note I feel like you’d benefit from having a red pop on your new white tent - either a red banner with your logo in white or possibly some red edging for the sides
@@emilymlandon I love the idea of making the stand more noticeable and a photo spot. Could also plant flowers along the fence there, in front of the mural, for photos.
Fillers really make the bouquets and Serina's arranging skills have developed so nicely. Loved this long video too. You guys work so incredibly hard and share the real behind the scenes truth of being a small family farm. Thank you for bringing us along on your journey. Blessings, -kate
Have you guys considered putting a glass door on the flower stand? That way you could keep the ac on with the room cool, while people can still see the flowers inside. Would help the flowers last longer. Just a thought :) Love your channel!
I was holding my breathe as if it was my business !! Can you imagine?? When passion , perseverance and prize match.. that is a beautiful feeling like the flowers and its aroma 😂🙏🏽
I feel like if you placed white-cream string lights scattered around the tables and on the backgroud curtain, it would boost visual traction. Focus on making your customers cozy while checking out the bouquets. I love your vids! Keep at it
Have you ever considered a bit of Curb Appeal for the Flower Stand, like a pretty store front? Flanked by a little boxwood hedge, two hydrangeas each side and some urns with Annuals? Kind of drawing in the passers by. Maybe a late fall project?
I wonder if pre-sales for the $50 bouquets would be a good idea for moving flowers next Mother's Day or other holidays, rather than attending the smaller markets. You can stay home to facilitate pick up or have people pick up at one of the markets.
I am a retired florist of 40 years and I am so happy for you both as you worked hard to sell your beautiful flowers for Mother's Day!!! You make all of us proud!!! I can appreciate your concerns as they relate to the finances. I always worried around the holidays but especially Mother'a Day. It is an empty feeling to know that you have 40-45thousand dollars in flowers and you cannot predict that you will sell all of them. It was always a great relief when the last deliver driver made it back to the shop and you made that last sale for the day. The only things to do were to get up early on Mother's Day and deliver all the flowers to all the churches!!! Thank you both for all that you do. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
So relieved you got a win after the tulip craziness. It was heartbreaking to hear that they were all blooming at once after the work/money y’all put into them.
I am so glad you have a new employee! Trying to do it all yourselves last year almost killed you. She will be worth the expense in being able to keep going if nothing else. You got this! This is not the make or break for the year.
"I wouldn't be so discouraged if I didn't have a headache" is the most relatable thing I've ever heard. Always amazed by and inspired by your work ethic. The flowers look amazing!
Luv the new white tent for the Market! Yes! Makes the flowers pop! Green would look good too! Oddly enough, I think your dried flowers would pop more if wrapped in black paper. My eyes kinda wonder all over the place with both wrapped in the same color paper. Its all beautiful, but maybe black paper would make for a pop and contrast from the fresh. Or maybe make the fresh flowers your most prominent in the tent by setting the dried on the sides of the table, and sitting lower than the fresh flowers? Hope this is received as helpful constructive feedback.
That's amazing that so many new customers found out about your stand! Surely this means big sales for you throughout the summer as well, because after seeing how beautiful your bouquets are, how could they not come back for more? :)
@@YouCantEatTheGrass I'm a loyal viewer and let all the ads play. Lol. I love the video footage of the drives to the market and the beautiful scenery almost as much as I love the footage of flower picking and bouquet making. 😍 I lived in Kelowna for high school. KSS Grad 2000. Moved away because I hated the heat in the summer so when you complain about the heat, I'm like "yes! I made the right choice". 😂
@@YouCantEatTheGrass Is there any way to purchase bouquets for you to give to people of your choosing?? We’re in the USA, and as much as I would love having one of your gorgeous bouquets, I would love just as much for someone to get to enjoy one that otherwise wouldn’t have been able to. You work too darn hard and are too good at what you’re doing to worry if it’s worth it 💕
Wow! We were on the edge of our seats until the final tally came in. You all work so hard and you have a lot people rooting for you. Here's hoping you do this week for the rest of the season!
What a hard slog for you both. $8k is amazing and so well deserved. Thinking the economies everywhere seems to be slowing and people being a lot more discerning with their discretionary spending. Hope ya did some celebrating after Mothers day and treated yourselves.
Love these videos where you take us along day to day showing the results of markets etc. The bouquets are stunning. Serena you truly are talented at putting those together. Just gorgeous! 🌸💐🔥💚
The variety of beautiful old flowers not seen in quick sell flower shops, are so fantastic. Hope you get a contract for bouquets to truck off to buyer.
There's no BETTER WAY to end my day is watching your channel..love all you do the hard work of getting ready for market..selling an taking time for real life videos...❤❤❤❤
Do you ever think of mixing some dried elements in with live flowers? I often see that in Ireland including like dried and then spray painted (for example gold) dried flowers mixed in with bouquets usually in like September
Well done! ❤❤❤ For Mother's Day next yr, maybe hire others to work the stands so y'all can just work on replenishment. If my flowers were selling as well as yours do, I'd be sure to never let them run out. Your flowers are absolutely amazing!
I used to tear apart the bleeding hearts too 😂 Now I grow them along my garage because they love it there! And I cut some for the first time and they lasted a long time indoors and I really enjoyed them in a vase!
Loved this long video! It’s my afternoon comfort to listen and watch you guys. Really hope you can keep the demand going strong for the season as I hope you stay successful!
The slow start is nerve shredding… but it makes a good story for the content farm 😂 you do a good job of keeping it light while showing the realities of how stressful the weather and the economy can be for farmers.
Great to hear you came so close to your goal, Serina and Ian. What an encouraging way to start the season. Bouquets were beautiful. Glad florists and stores were sending customers to you…..lots of new prospective customers. So happy for you. You work so hard, have to fight the weather, and then had illness at a crucial time. It’s so nice to see you have a huge success. May it continue all season for you. 😊💖
I don't understand English very well, but your videos inspire me and give me the strength to work in my flower garden. (I live on the Crimean peninsula, I love flowers.)
Serena and Ian ...your bouquets are stunning. . My Mom just passed and if I lived in Kewlona(?) BC I would definitely have YOU make her funeral bouquets. Don't give up hope and don't listen to any negativity. You all plan, set goals, and work like borrowed mules to accomplish those goals. All the best for your continued success.
It seems such a shame that flowers that have opened in the heat of the market are not “sellable”. I’d totally purchase a “2day bouquet” for $10 or $15. I buy a Starbucks drink for $7 (US) and it’s gone in a couple minutes. $30, $50, sure I’d expect that to last about a week. Perhaps disassembling those bouquest and interspersing one full bloom in your other arrangements would help to salvage some investment. I love to see what the actual blooms look like rather than a total surprise with closed tulips. There is my two cents. Love your bouquets- love the purple green orange combo (not a fan of all orange all the time but I know it thrills your heart)
@@cindybarr3796 I know flowers are a bit different, but we do this at our farm with tomatoes, etc., that are kinda "ugly" or just not so great. we sell them for a discounted flat price and that works well!
Serina I loved, loved your green bouquet! And this video was a rollercoaster. My heart sank when you worked so hard with so few sales. But what a beautiful comeback and all the new customers! This sounds really promising. Maybe it is also that people don’t want to buy the Mother’s Day bouquets so early in the week so they have more vase life? It was wonderful hearing you say that you left this week hopeful for the future of the farm again!!! Go red roof family farm! We are all rooting for you!
The flowers looked absolutely beautiful. Really glad the children were part of your own Mother’s day happiness in the end aswell as your monetary glee.
I am so happy for you, guys. You worked so haaarrrddd. We appreciate your effort in editing these videos too. I am now on my 3rd time watching this (with the ads yeah). My family loves you guys, even my kids know all your names and all your cats' names and we talk about you guys like you're close family friends or something. ❤😻🥰
Great episode! Reminds me of our 15 years of sellimg our wooden crafts at markets. It was EXHAUSTING but we reached our goal and paid our mortgage off! Wishing you a VERY PROSPEROUS SEASON! ❤
I watch Georgie from the channel “common farm flowers” and on one of her videos she made 3 bouquets then put those into one big one by typing them together. Maybe do 5 $20 ones and tie them all together? Your flowers are beautiful!
Wooo Hooo! So happy for and proud of you! Way to power through Mother’s Day!! Congratulations!! Perhaps next year, the road side stand will sell even MORE flowers on Mother’s Day!
Congratulations on an amazing week! I loved the red roofed market tent in front of the stand. I know first-hand how depressing it can be to work so hard and have bad beginning markets. I'm glad things have picked up. When I was a Vendor, many of the regular Vendors did not attend the first few markets. It wasn't worth their time. I still like the idea of one of your subscribers in your last LIVE where they suggested growing the tulips hydroponically (no washing!). You might want to look into it. Continued success, my friends. Great video!
Picking tulip fields yourself, a fun (Mother's Day) activity. Here in Holland, some farmers have separate fields for this. Nice to watch you two, good luck this season! 
I am always rooting for the two of you! Your hard work is paying off, and it's only the beginning of the season. If I lived in your area, I would purchase a bouquet from you every week!
What a success the 50 dolars bouquets!! you should try to do a couple if them for regular markets to try if they sell 💸 I’m glad you had amazing sales at the ens of the week!!! 🙌🏻
You know those picture wraps they put on electrical boxes around the city.if you had really good tulip pictures and wrapped you store front could be good draw.
Wow - you all are such an inspiration. Know how lucky you are to be partnered so well. Not everyone has the support because that entrepreneurial energy is not in everyone nor is that love and support. Many people are much more selfish. ❤❤❤
I know how busy you both are but have you ever considered doing a workshop? Build a bouquet with Serina? Where she can explain basic bouquet theory and the the attendees can build their own price point bouquet. People love to go and experience fun. It would also bring people to your stand. It's a little way to diversify income if farmers markets are slow. Love your channel and Ian is awesome at these videos.
Would you pppllleeeaaaassseee show us how you build your bouquets so they stand up like that? You seriously have the best taste in flowers! I love watching you work your magic!
You hold the bouquet in your left hand (if you're right-handed) and every stem you add you add at an angle, turn the bouquet, add a flower at an angle, turn the bouquet, add a flower at an angle, turn the bouquet and keep repeating until the bouquet is the size you want. You then rubberband it, cut the bottoms even, and it should stand. All the stems are at a slight angle and angle in the same direction. I hope this helps.
Awesome flowers! Awesome sales! Serena, I have to say that you are such an artistic inspiration to me! I am one of two “flower ladies” at church. Our level of creativity in the bouquets has just probably doubled since we started watching your channel ! Thank you! Thank you, Ian, for all your creative videography!
Your flowers are beautiful!! How about selling wholesale? I love the green flowers too! The tent is a great idea! It draws your attention to the door and pretty flowers.
I'm a nursery guy, and I don't know much about cut flowers, but GOOD GRIEF!! Serena, your flowers look great, your prices seem reasonable, and if you guys keep doing what you're doing, you're going to sell EVERYTHING you can produce! So, so good. Enjoyed the video. Kudos for all the hard work in producing the video.
I think it was a brilliant idea to place the Red roof tent in front of the roadside stand!
😅😅
I think you should have a big floral mural on the roadside stand to catch attention and become a “photo spot”. Perhaps you could trade flowers with a local artist and they could advertise in the stand?

I'm glad you enjoyed the journey, the drama was real from our perspective, we were very stressed
Serena: "I feel like if we sell $9000 tomorrow we will reach our $10,000 no problem"
Had me giggling despite the nail biting 😅

When you said the total for the weekend… I couldn’t help but say Yay out loud 🎉

Wow, your bouquets are more gorgeous each year, and happy late Mother's Day Serena! Well done!❤👏👏👏

Exactly do what you like and enjoy doing for the flower arrangements! You always seem to have the Midas touch for flower bouquet's.
The price of everything has gone up so much, maybe everyone is scared of the economy. Think outside the box! You can do this!!!!❤
Nice 👍 love tulips 🌷 and your work is even better.
Use white, green or pink wrap paper. The natural brown may not appeal to all.
I believe you guys are still going to do amazing this year thou. Cheer!!!

Such beautiful flowers! You are both amazing to watch, hard workers with running a household & family too - I also LOVE your long vids 💛🌱⚘️
Congratulations on the 8k week!
Second comment for orange ranunculus!!! The best flower of all time 🧡🤩🧡
There are special sweet peas you can plant in greenhouses in winter and that bloom in april (in cold greenhouses)
I hope everything keeps moving forward your business. And hopefully the referred people will return frequently. 💖💖🎶🎶
So excited for you all!! The suspense!! 2650 market ! Yes keep pushing and inspiring future flower farmers !
If I lived closer I’d be buying your bouquets! Love them. But it’s a good reminder to support your local flower farmers
