  • Interesting and informative

    I am not a pro flower grower, but I am an avid gardener and lover of flowers. I have also been interested in having a green burial for a couple of decades now and am a sustainability devotee. I found the podcast episode “Farewell Flowers” to be so informative and I learned a lot about sustainable flowers in general and the application to funerals in particular. I have shared this with friends just so they too can be aware and make informed plans for their final decision.

  • The business of FLOWERS

    The floral and farming information that’s shared is fantastic! I’ve listened for years and have always found this podcast to be so interesting and informative.

    Sadly, It’s become too political. I just want to escape politics and listen to a great podcast about flowers from other humans who love growing, designing, and admiring them!

Q: So how does this work for you? You have a space, and it sounds like because you're working in a lot of these corporate conference spaces, you become very familiar with these vacant ballrooms and what you need to do.
We start with just asking, what are you trying to do with the plants? Are you trying to hide exit signs? Well, you can't really hide exit signs, but you want to discuss things?
