Tips For The Dreamers & First Time Orchard Buyers!

This one is for the dreamers! 


It recently came to my attention through someone I’d met that I never really learned how to operate an orchard. There was really no official class that I could take on how to approach this exciting and sometimes daunting new venture, but that didn’t stop me from taking it on with curiosity and perseverance. I’ve learned so much throughout this journey and felt the need to share some of those lessons with you all today, particularly for those out there wanting to nurture their own orchard one day. 


I’ll be sharing some of my most important tips and tricks in relation to growing, how different types of soil are utilized in the ground, and the impact that photosynthesis has on a plant’s growth rate. I’ll also be discussing what I think are some of the main aspects to look for when ‘designing our dream’ and how we can use the right mindset to achieve our goals. 


Tune in to Episode 11 of Flowerhood, to find out more!
