This week we're talking to Michelle Nathan from Little Free Flowery, a flower stand where Michelle shares her homegrown flowers with her neighbors and community. It's such a big hit! Michelle describes why and how she started the stand, how she sets it up, what it means to her, and about the connections she's made. Her idea has inspired other stands to open in her neighborhood and beyond, and I was so excited to hear more about what she's doing and share that with you! We also chat about some of her favorite flowers to grow. Follow along with Michelle & Little Free Flowery on Instagram @littlefreeflowery.

In the intro, I talk about some garden clean-up and support I was working on for dahlias and chrysanthemums this weekend, and about co-planting mums and daffodils in perennial beds since they bloom at different times. I also give an update on a few things blooming in the garden right now: dahlias, zinnias, echinacea (the absolute star of my garden and arrangements - note to self: PLANT MORE ECHINACEA NEXT YEAR), Sahara rudbeckia, fata morgana scabiosa, toad lilies, and blooming soon - lisianthus and sunflowers. I’m looking for advice on how to get longer side stems on fata morgana scabies, and how to deal with lisianthus “wilt”. And I’m having fun experimenting with getting smaller (and more) sunflowers in lots of unique colors. 

The Flower Friends Flower Fact has three questions this week, so listen in to learn something new! Stay til the end for the song of the week, which you can also find on the Spotify Flower Friends Song of the Week playlist.
