- Vermont Flower Farm [Stuck in Vermont 672]
For almost four decades, Gail and George Africa have been working with plants and flowers. In 1983, they started Vermont Flower Farm in Shelburne and sold their blooms at the Burlington Farmers Market. The Africas later relocated their business to Marshfield and have occupied two different locations there. Since 2008, they have been off busy Route 2 on 4.3 acres next to the Winooski River. They grow lush fields of daylilies and display gardens, which visitors can explore.
Both George and Gail love to talk to customers about plants, but at ages 74 and 67, respectively, they are hoping to retire. They have placed the farm for sale and are looking for someone to carry on their floral vision.
Eva sat the Africas down for an interview and got a tour of their gardens with George in his all-terrain vehicle.

What a FABULOUS ONE! THANK YOU, as always, for sharing more VERMONT BLISS!!!
These are my kind of tlpeople right here! 👏🥰 I hope whomever purchases the farm, are just like them!
Another winner episode Eva. Keep them coming!!
Thank you! :)
Your flower videos are so beautiful, the color seems perfect, I felt like I was there walking with you.
Gail and George Africa have a genuine Vermont Flower Farm. The foundation they have built is enriched with knowledge, love, and hard work. Who stewards the farm after Gail & George are blessed to be able to have land as rich as this one!
That was terrific. I have loved my visits to the Flower Farm and George and Gail are so personable and knowledgeable and I just hope whoever buys the farm can fill those shoes.
So true, hope so! :)

Keep us posted on the sale of the property! Hopefully the flower growing will continue with the new owners.
My husband and I are traveling from southern Maine to Vermont on Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples Day weekend to celebrate our 20th anniversary. What is a must do and what are some stay away froms? We have a list, but not sure if we’re missing anything.
Hope you had a wonderful trip!
There's about 54 countries in Africa, but what an unusual last name.
