Taking Cuttings, Saving Seeds and Growing Sustainably – 3 Lessons from Hortistry23 Oct 202600:12:55

I'm back with another ad hoc episode of MULCH after a fabulous day at the second Hortistry event, learning about propagation from three extraordinarily experienced horticulturists.

In this episode, I'm sharing three practical lessons that I'll be bringing back to our flower farm at Silver Grey Foliage.

We talk about why you might want to put your dibber away when taking cuttings, how an ordinary tea tray can help with saving and cleaning flower seeds, and why treading as lightly on the land as possible should be at the heart of our growing decisions.

I also share a little about Hortistry, a new initiative working to preserve specialist horticultural knowledge and skills in the UK, and why I think their work is so important for the future of our industry.

Know What Your Flower Farm Is Really Producing — with Jen Rolls of FlowerTracker Pro14 Aug 202600:33:45

In this episode of MULCH, I'm joined by Jen from Bristol Flower Company, creator of the new FlowerTracker Pro.

FlowerTracker Pro has been designed specifically for flower farmers, making it easier to record what you're cutting and turn those numbers into useful information about what is actually happening on your farm.

Jen and I talk about how the idea began, what happened when 50 flower farmers started beta testing it, and how their feedback has shaped the finished product.

We look at how the Tracker works in practice, from simply recording total stem numbers to tracking individual varieties, beds, buckets, orders and customers — and how that information can help us make better decisions about what earns its space on our farms.

We also talk about where to start if data collection feels overwhelming, what FlowerTracker Pro does not replace, pricing, data ownership and security, and some of the features Jen hopes to add next.

Most importantly, this is a conversation about something I talk about regularly on MULCH: collecting useful information about our farms so that the decisions we make are based on evidence rather than what we think happened.

FlowerTracker Pro launches on Friday 14 August 2026. 

5 Truths Every Flower Farmer Needs to Hear in 202627 Mar 202600:09:18

This week on MULCH, Rebecca shares a short, steadying episode designed to help you stay focused and resilient as the season gathers pace.

As we reach the end of the first quarter of the year, it's easy to feel behind, overwhelmed, or unsure whether you're doing enough. This episode offers five honest reminders to bring you back to what really matters on your flower farm.

These are not complicated strategies, they're the simple truths that help you stay grounded, keep moving forward, and grow a business that works for you.

This is an episode to return to when negative thoughts creep in, or when you find yourself comparing your farm to others.

 

The Small Habits That Actually Run a Flower Farm13 Mar 202600:12:28

This week on MULCH, Rebecca shares a lighter episode for growers coming through a busy Mother's Day weekend.

Flower farms aren't usually held together by big moments or dramatic decisions. More often, they're sustained by small habits repeated quietly week after week across the season.

In this episode, Rebecca talks through some of the simple practices that help keep a flower farm running smoothly and professionally — from preparing cutting tools and keeping buckets clean, to labelling seedlings properly, recording sowing notes, and replying to customer enquiries promptly.

These small habits might not appear in the photographs we share online, but together they create the consistency that allows flower farms to deliver beautiful flowers reliably to customers.

Rebecca also explains how she uses the Flower Farmer's Planner to track these habits, record propagation notes and review decisions across the season so that lessons learned aren't forgotten the following year.

If you're feeling tired after a busy week of cutting and delivering flowers, this episode is a gentle reminder that professional flower farms are built on steady rhythms and small habits — not perfection.

In this episode:

• Why small habits matter more than big moments
• Preparing tools and buckets for consistent flower quality
• Avoiding the frustration of unlabelled seed trays
• Recording sowing lessons so you don't relearn them next year
• Managing customer enquiries without mental overload

Succession Sowing Without Overwhelm: Why constant sowing isn't always the answer06 Mar 202600:18:23

Succession sowing is often presented as the key to having flowers all season long. But on many small UK flower farms, the pressure to keep sowing again and again can quietly create more work than the flowers are worth.

In this episode of MULCH, Rebecca explores what succession sowing actually means and why misunderstanding it can lead to unnecessary labour, overwhelm, and resentment.

Using ecological thinking and real examples from the field, she reflects on how a resilient flower farm often relies less on constant repetition and more on seasonal transition, where different plants step forward as the season moves on.

You'll hear about:

  • Why succession sowing doesn't always mean growing the same flowers repeatedly

  • How seasonal transitions can create a steady flow of flowers

  • The question every grower should ask before adding another sowing

  • Why working with the season builds resilience in a flower farming business

If succession plans are starting to feel overwhelming, this episode offers a calmer and more sustainable way to think about the season ahead.

The 5 P's of Pest Resilience for Flower Farmers27 Feb 202600:14:50

This week on Mulch, we're celebrating two milestones, Episode 60 and 15,000 downloads. Thank you for being here and for building this thoughtful, business-minded flower farming community with me.

Today's episode is about pests… but really, it's about resilience.

Because pests are not a sign that you're failing.
They're a sign that you're growing something worth eating.

As sustainable flower farmers, the goal isn't elimination, it's building systems strong enough to absorb pressure without reaching for pesticides (or despair).

In this episode, I share the 5 P's of Pest Resilience for the 2026 season:

🌿 Protection – When low tunnels help… and when they hinder.
🌿 Pungent – Using scent as a preventative layer (garlic, herbs, calendula, phlox).
🌿 Prickly – How spiky companions can deter deer and create natural boundaries.
🌿 Ponds – Inviting predators to rebalance your ecosystem.
🌿 Patience – The long game of ecological stability and small bird allies.

Sustainable flower farming isn't about removing every challenge. It's about designing layered resilience into your land and your business.

How to Stop Your Flower Farm Becoming an "Every Time Job" in 202623 Jan 202600:21:25

When a flower farm starts to fill every spare moment — evenings, weekends and headspace — it can quietly turn into an every time job.

In this episode, I explore The Every Time Job Trap: why it happens, what it looks like, and how to create more structure and sustainability when you're growing a flower farm alongside other work or caring responsibilities.

There are gentle reflection prompts throughout, designed to support curiosity rather than criticism.

End of season What Ifs26 Dec 202500:09:30

As the year draws to a close, this episode of MULCH reflects on the quiet "what if" questions that sit underneath flower farming; the decisions, confidence and support that shape how we grow.

Using a simple winter observation as a starting point, Rebecca explores what it means to choose steadier ground as we move towards the 2026 season, and invites listeners to reflect without urgency or pressure.

The episode also includes two practical updates:

It's a gentle, end-of-year episode for flower farmers who are ready to rest, reflect, and begin imagining the season to come.

5 Important Challenges to Overcome When You Want to Grow a Sustainable & Profitable Flower Farm12 Dec 202500:18:13

In this week's episode of Mulch, Rebecca explores five common challenges flower farmers face when they're trying to build a sustainable and profitable business — the kind that supports life rather than drains it. Drawing on the conversations from this week's Grow Club reflection session, she speaks openly about isolation, physical exhaustion, blurred boundaries, feeling pulled in too many directions, and the pressure to master every skill at once.

Rather than seeing these challenges as personal failings, Rebecca reframes them as completely normal parts of the flower-farming journey — and as opportunities to build structure, clarity, support and confidence for 2026 and beyond. She also shares news of a private podcast series for Grow Club members, featuring expert voices on branding, design, websites, small-business strategy and content creation.

5 easy bits of preparation to Market your Flower Farm at the start of 202605 Dec 202500:18:42

In this week's episode of Mulch, Rebecca shares five simple, practical ways to prepare your flower-farm marketing for the start of 2026 — from sorting your photos with purpose, to reconnecting with your business values, to identifying which customers you want to be speaking to as the new year begins. She explores why reusing your own best-performing content is not cheating but smart, sustainable marketing — and why worrying less and doing more will always serve your business far better than trying to be perfect.

Rebecca also shares an update on Grow Club, including the newly uploaded teaching library, the upcoming reflection session on 9th December, and the limited mentoring sessions available for the next three members.

Beginnings and endings at Silver Grey Foliage28 Nov 202500:13:54

In this week's reflective episode of Mulch, Rebecca shares two stories from Silver Grey Foliage that shape the way she understands resilience and reflection that it takes to grow a flower farm. From the unlikely moment she met the farmer who offered her her growing space, to the family tradition that marks the end of each season, these stories uncover the quiet determination and gentle hope that sit beneath every successful growing year.

Rebecca also explores what real resilience looks like for flower farmers — not "pushing through," but creating structure, accountability, learning, and community so you don't grow alone. She closes with a look at how these themes have shaped the ROOTS framework and the vision for Grow Club in 2026.

If you'd like support, structure, and community as you plan for the season ahead, Grow Club's early bird pricing is available until Sunday at midnight — now is the perfect time to join.

3 ways to grow your Flower Farm in 202621 Nov 202500:19:09

In this week's episode of Mulch, Rebecca shares the three shifts that can make the biggest difference to your flower farm in 2026: understanding how money moves through your business, treating your farm like the business it truly is (whatever its size), and why growing less can actually help you grow better. It's an honest, encouraging look at what really strengthens a flower-farming practice, rooted in experience rather than overwhelm.

Am I growing enough flowers and foliage on my flower farm?20 Feb 202500:18:40

In this episode of MULCH I address the really tricky question that we all face every year, and often several times a year as a Flower Farmer.  'Am I growing enough flowers and foliage on my flower farm?'

It's so important to see this question as one based in the present moment and not a question in comparison to where I want to be in 3 or 5 years time. 

So I ask  myself questions at this time of the year to help me to understand the actual position that I find myself in as I head into the beginning of my flower season.

And I start with this question:

'Am I growing cut flowers that will cover as much of the season as I want to cover?'

because if the answer is yes then whilst I may want to have more of each, the want is not necessarily proportionate to the need.  And if the answer is yes, then really this is the place to stop asking questions so that I can focus on getting the best quality out of what I have, rather than trying to do more.

The purpose of The Flower Farming Business School Online is to help you to make the best decisions for you and your Flower Farm.  I ask questions like this all of the tim, because I want to help you to make the best decisions and to understand why you have made them.

Quarter 2 of THe Flower Farming Business School will open for registration on Monday March 24th.  Quarter 2 will start on Monday 31st March and I can't wait to work with you to make your Flower growing business work for your.
