  • We built a wooden flower stand and set it up for the first time a few weeks ago! Was it a sellout? Watch to find out.
    In this video I take you behind the scenes to show you making cut flower bouquets to sell. I also talk through what I did when I didn't have enough focal flowers for bouquets. We also show you a tiny bit of how we built our flower stand and how the first flower sale of the year went.
    If you're thinking of starting a flower stand, watch this video for some helpful tips.

    So happy to see a video from you! I think that I should just watch your videos one after another...they are so peaceful and fill me with such joy. Your flower stand looks perfect! Your husband did a wonderful job, but the stand would be lost without those beautiful bouquets! Thank you once again for sharing with us another beautiful video.

    I love your garden and Myron did a good job hammering out your flower stand. I think your sells were great for a small rural area! The videos that you and your sister have made have encouraged me. Where in Arkansas did you move to? I live about 1 hour west of Texarkana. I grow in zone 8 and since I bought land it’s sometimes discouraging because I don’t have my normal organic matter this year. Are you missing your family yet?

    • @rootdesigncompany

      Aw, thanks. The Sweet William is the Neon Rose variety. No garden and no flower stand is perfect… mine certainly isn’t. It has been a beautiful Spring for growing things here in Arkansas, so that helps. My hubby gets all the credit for the stand.

      I expected more of a challenge with the rhubarb than I got! Started it from seed in January and transplanted out in March, I think. I covered it with frost cloth when it got really cold but otherwise left it alone. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Question: At 6:50 in the video you were cutting pink/mauve looking zinnias.... what was the name or color of that one? I grow mostly purple and lilac but I love that one. Also, there was a pinkish/purple snapdragon you used in your spring bouquets I loved too. If you happened to have the name for that too? Loved the tour of your garden and seeing all the delicate flowers. Thank you for sharing!

    • @rootdesigncompany
      @rootdesigncompany  Před měsícem

      That pink/mauve one is a rogue zinnia in the white zinnia patch. I’m not sure if I mixed a Bennarys Giant Wine seed in myself or if it came in the packet. 🤷🏻‍♀️ So I’m not sure on the name. And the snapdragon is Potomac Lavender, a good variety for all season growing.
