My best flower farming advice is to grow 3x more filler than you think you need. Just do it! Find some that work for you, and plant them constantly. My best business advice is to find your people…..

My best advice is to continuously search for inspiration to keep your forward momentum. Also, stay in your own lane – no one can do it like you will!
I’m always on the hunt for inspiration, and pretty sure Sarah’s book would be just that ;)

My best piece on not to panic is when you’re feeling overwhelmed that means you’re succeeding you can’t run a business from the couch otherwise everyone would do it. You got this 👏🏻👏🏻

If a crop fails I don’t panic it just makes me use the other flowers I may not have originaly thought to use. There is always something new to be learned.
