Ta-da!! Season 1 is over, and so is 2020 (hasta la vista!!) so we thought we'd celebrate by sharing our bloopers and funny bits from season 1 We started this podcast to share our love of growing flowers and to offer out a flowery hand of friendship to all others who also love to grow their own flowers. We are SO, so grateful for how many of you have supported us on this journey, and been patient with us as we figured out how to do this whole podcast thing We are so excited for a 2021 filled with flowery friendships and more interesting interviews with amazing guests. Let's just say we have some real stonkers in the line- up! And for season 3 we will be returning with a grow-a-long, where we will be guiding you on what jobs you should be doing each week, and sharing the comings and goings of our different cutting gardens. Sarah's other half, who we refer to as "F" does not want his name shared so it is muted in these clips. We left the swearing in though, for fun, so this episode is perhaps not as child friends as the ones that came before it. And be sure to join our Facebook group for lots of flowery chit chat! |
