Hi Robyn, Thank you for taking the time to record this video - very interesting and informative. Your love and passion for growing organically and your hard work and determination to succeed shines through, and I wish you a very successful 2024 as you watch your business continue to grow. x
Great information. Thinking of this as a side hustle since I grow many flowers already for personal enjoyment. Love the organic focus as well. Thank you for the realistic presentation and stats.
Look at you with your flow charts I freaking love it! Well done on all the efforrt and love you have put into your business and your passions its been an absolute pleasure to see!
Hi Robin, great video, loved how you showed and analysed the experiences and earning. How ever you didn't talk about labour? Thanks for sharing and happy growing 😊
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video. Absolutely, labour is a massive expense for most businesses, and in future is something I will be adding in as an expense. However, during my first year for the majority of the year I didn't take money out of the business for myself for labour as I had other income. Due to the structure of the business, I wasn't paying myself for labour as I'm a sole trader and the income was reinvested. Really good point and something that I missed in this video so thanks for bringing it up :)
Great video with helpful content and real numbers. I'm a life-long garden enthusiast and just started toying with the idea of selling dahlia tubers next year, likely on a smaller scale initially. I'm just starting to look into the initial steps: do I need to form a business to do a few thousand dollars of sales, do I need a plant health certificate, do I need a website, what else would I need in that initial first year. There is a lot to think about and keep track of!
Hi Robyn, this video was really interesting. Thanks for showing this type of info. It's so hard to understand how much work does into just being a1st year flower farmer. I hope your health continues to improve.
You are a bonafide goddess for this video and your well rounded and candid explanation of ALL aspects. It’s so rare to find channels that speak of every aspect of the income to paint a clear picture of endeavors like this. Subscribed!
Great video. I appreciate you not romanticising flower farming. My husband keeps asking me if I’m happy doing this for free. 😂. - I’m in my second year and haven’t made a profit, although I have had to essentially start again with moving to a new farm in spring/Summer. It can be a lot of hard work and initial set up costs are high, so i think it’s worth having a different primary income. We have a dairy farm so flower farm hasn’t been my primary income. It would take years I think for that to happen. It’s fun to grow things though, I love it.
Honestly, I don't think it did... Usually people were either buying food or flowers, rarely did they buy both at the same time :) But it did help to bulk up our stall when we were low on flowers.
Hi ya Robyn and Scott,things will only get better for you, you’re such a hard worker . So interesting,thanks for sharing. Take care and stay safe cheers from a hot and humid Qld. 🪱🌺🌟🌟🥵

Great video! Very interesting 😊
you know I'm down for a youtube specific video lol
Do you think that having the veggies at the market attracts more flower customers?
Honestly, I don't think it did... Usually people were either buying food or flowers, rarely did they buy both at the same time :) But it did help to bulk up our stall when we were low on flowers.
