BEWARE New flower farmers wanting your money for subscriptions and education fees
I found this podcast a few days ago as an 7 year flower farmer. I like to listen to podcasts of my peers as I am working. I rarely write reviews , but this podcast compelled me to do so as to warn other farmers or would be farmers as to whom they give their money to. This podcast seems very disjointed and not giving real farming advice , mostly only personal experiences that dominated the podcast with cringe worthy notes of narcissism- and promotion of educational/ business workshops and monthly subscriptions- That's fine, but when you are promoting over six figure flower farming profits/ revenue? ( both were not clarified with real facts) it should only be expected that this phd nurse practitioner turned farmer should have the data to back that up. With only 3 years of experience , it makes me question the validity of what she is promoting and the events and educational/ business workshops she is selling to flower farmers. How this person uses her phd in nursing in her advertising- which is not a doctorate in agriculture or horticulture - but in nursing - which she states repeatedly. This is not equivalent to 10 plus years in the business of being a successful cut flower farmer. As in other name coincidences she uses - such as the name of her farm and other things she promotes - which are very similar to very well established farms and growers- is also another red flag. It's incredibly rare that a flower farmer with only 3 year's experience would make six figures. Unless there was a lot of invested money in marketing, labor, equipment.. etc involved in the beginning. If that was the case then just say that instead of misleading fellow farmers who don't have those resources. There is nothing more disturbing to me than misleading good hearted passionate people who want to start to farm flowers

Agritourism Getting the Platform it Deserves
Liz is such a great advocate for agritourism, with an emphasis on flower farming. She has such a natural way of explaining how things work and educating on how to build farms that support the current generations running them and the future generations to come!

Episodes on Dahlias - could have been better
This show would have been very informative if they would stay on the agenda. One of the hosts kept interrupting every time someone was answering. She made everything about herself and the show didn’t go anywhere. I wanted to hear a lot of the other ladies’ experiences, and learn but it was impossible with her interrupting every single time.

So helpful
As someone who is new to the world of flower farming, this podcast has proven to be very helpful in guiding and encouraging.

Great podcast.
Some people are too sensitive. No trigger warnings? Just mentioning someone that has died should have a warning? Really? This is a big chapter of Liz’s life and she should be able to say his name without someone being triggered. Keep up the good work Liz!

No Trigger Warnings
I love it, but there are no trigger warnings and she talks about Josh basically every episode. I understand how important he was, but some people are sensitive to death and loss of a partner, and I do not want to tune in all the time to be reminded of that. Please put a trigger warning in each episode.

Cut Flower Counsel
As someone stumbling through flower gardening, I am SO appreciative of Liz doing this podcast! Hearing from someone who started from scratch and learned through experience is so valuable. The entrepreneur tips are valuable to industries outside of flower farming as well. Thankful for this!

10/10 would recommend
Liz has her own way of putting her sunny outlook over heavy topics of grief and widowhood. The first hand experience of being a grieving person and how to truly support them is invaluable as we all try to be better people. (And the flower tips are second to none!)

I’m here for all the bloom and grow episodes. My brother in law passed away in May 2022. So I like the insight on how to be more empathetic and thing not to say when talking with my husband and his family. Your insight has been very helpful so far. I even sent my sister in law your page to see if it helped her in the early days of widowhood. Keep killing it Liz!

This girl wins, keep it up!
Liz is talented in so many ways, and so beyond inspirational with a story to tell. I’m so excited to learn more about flower farming & growing personally by following along on her journey. Now do I ever plan on flower farming, heck no! But I find it fascinating to learn about and appreciate the hard work, dedication, and time put into my bouquets even more.
