Behind the scenes: our 2025 farm plan! 🌱💐✨
Here’s a very simplified, quick overview of our process (well I thought it was quick, Robbie was making “wrap it up” motions the whole time while filming this so…). If you prefer the even more long-winded version you can read it on the blog (and hi fellow plant nerds, you are my people!): https://www.nowadaysflowers.com/blog/our-2025-farm-plan
This is a beast of a project and usually takes me a couple weeks to fully wrap my head around, starting with looking at last year’s harvest records and notes, making any necessary adjustments based on what we learned and what we’re projecting for this year, and then laying out where everything will go and when. It’s a combination of spreadsheets, maps, written notes and research and it gets pretty technical, which always surprises people. It’s one of the differences between growing flowers commercially and growing a garden for fun: gotta love looking at the numbers to analyze crop production and profit margins just as much the pretty seed catalogues!
Which flowers are you most excited for?! I can’t wait for tulips (hopefully lol 🫠) lisis, dahlias (obv), and the zinnias (they were so great last year).
P.S., Spring is only 27 days away! ☀️
