This past Saturday’s Farmers Market was a blast!
Since I have been bringing more and more flowers to the market (versus microgreens) I’ve had a different kind of crowd visiting my booth. The chat has been artsy and very entertaining! I love hearing what catches people’s eye when it comes to flowers being arranged, whether it’s color, shape, size, or texture. Or sharing the variety names to folks that “just can’t stop looking at this one dahlia”.
My favourite kind of chat is when one of our amazing elderly patrons comes up to reminisce of the days when they too, grew prized dahlias alongside their vegetable gardens. You can really see the sparkle come into their eyes when they speak of that time in their lives.
Sure, flower farming is hard work, and The late Friday nights spent arranging them can be exhausting. But when I get to see the way it draws someone in for a good chat, it makes it all worth it.
