- A clip for International Women's Day about the transferable assets you already have if you'd like to think about changing direction and growing flowers for a living. This year's IWD is all about inspiring inclusion and so I hope this clip reflects that aim a little.
Join me on a walk around the flower fields here having a think about what and why you might grow, what you need physically to be a grower, and, with reference to this fantastic work by historian Philippa Gregory, Normal Women
www.philippagregory.com/books...
Looking in from the outside flower farming may seem to be a career for experts in their field. But flower farmers don't spring forth fully formed: they need to learn, to grow, to visualise, to practice - Enjoy this clip and I hope you feel inspired, enabled, and perhaps encouraged to be included. xxx
For a full list of workshops and demos held by flower farmer and florist Georgie Newbery, including ones on Career Change Flower Farming, see our website for more details and to book your place www.commonfarmflowers.com/pag....

Thank you Georgie, it felt like you’re speaking directly to me in my situation. I’m a 24 year old mom at home with two daughters and thinking a lot about starting my own flower business - thanks to you and your videos which motivate me a lot, I will plant some annuals, perennials and dahlias this year in my backyard and will try to sell them at a road side stand and a local farm shop.
I’m so thankful for your words, they are always so positive and encouraging! And they really make me think that I can make it too.
Wish you just the best - greetings from Dresden, Germany 🫶🏼
thank you very much - and good luck xxx
I absolutely love that you shared this Encouragement today Georgie thank you so much 😊💕 👏 💐
thankyou x you're welcome x
Eleanor Roosevelt said everyone should do something difficult every day. Good mantra for International Women’s Day.
Eleanor Roosevelt was a wise woman x
What an absolutely brilliant video! Made me a little teary, though maybe that's a sign I should go to bed. You've clearly built a fantastic business and it's great that you encourage others so much. I love your clips!
thankyou so much x
Happy International Womens day! you are a huge inspiration to all of us xx
thankyou Jenny x
You're just wonderful, Georgie! Always both practical and inspiring. Thank you.
you're very welcome x
Every one of your YT videos make me smile. Thank you for putting more shine in my day!!!
you're welcome x
Absolutely love your offering. I’m a Brit abroad (Mexico- tropics) and am longing to create a cut flower garden here. Sorely needed I think. Thank you for your inspiring output.
thankyou - go for it - and good luck x
Very inspiring Georgie. Lots of patience required. I love growing anything but my growing us for my garden. I’m starting to put my seeds in. I’m encouraged this year by the tomatoes which popped up from seed in 3 days. Some years I have waited weeks. Let’s hope that this year will be a successful growing year for us all. Thanks for a great video
Best of luck! x
New studio yippee! Happy International Women’s Day
and you x
Absolutely inspiring and starting a flower farming business affirming. Needed to hear your thoughts and clever ideas. As you say so well, it all comes down to deciding what you really love to do, doing it well, learning how to do it better, having the courage to compete and accept criticism, and having the faith to persevere. You are always an amazing role model and mentor. Thank you for your dedication to your UTube subscribers.
my pleasure x
Well said! I love women enouraging and supporting other women and their endeavours. And Normal Women is next up on my audiobook playlist!
it's full of fascinating information x
Lets have a go!! 🥳 Thank you so much for the encouragement, that was what I really needed today!! 💖 Lovely international womensday!!! 🤗💐
thankyou - you're welcome x
Absolutely loves this video❤. Thanks for the book recommendation. As a farmer I'll block forward to listening to it in audio form. One of the pleasures of this endeavor!
go for it x
March 1st I started my journey I'm super excited and nervous. Although I don't normally listen to flower farmers advice (because they are so discouraging and I do not want that in my spirit) you are different. You stay focused on the silver lining while encouraging us through whatever excuses we have. Thank You for this video I greatly enjoyed it.
my pleasure x
The garnett colour is lovely and suits you well, with the green. 😊
thank you x
Thank you for your encouragement and words of wisdom. I'm here in Connecticut USA, currently looking or part-time work in a flower shop. I had a flower shop, after working in insurance industry, I took the leap and bought a 15 year florist business with no formal experience having taught myself floral design. I found out a lot about myself during the few years I had the business and learned a lot, however I had to sell it due to a health issue, yet I never lost my interest in floral design work and did some freelancing work, weddings, family gatherings, etc etc. Happy International Women's Day to all those women out there doing what they love to do.
good luck with the job search - and thanks for watching x
Dear Georgie, thank you 🤗! Your words truly came from your heart to the hearts of those who needed moral support on their effort to start or sustain a passion or a small business. I am one of those women , i know that i have enough knowledge to support my passion further away...i just need the courage to value my work properly. I feel discourged because the sellings are not good, i have really just a small part of the garden to manage for cut flowers. I really felt like letting it all go, but your words touched my heart Georgie, i want to continue even if it will all remain to a small scale. When i have time, im feeling relaxed by watching things about gardening, cut flowers and enjoy every of you videos, im happy that i found your channel❤😊. Please, if you can write the names of the greenaries that you mantioned in the video, i find it hard to figure out the spelling😊
I think I might do a special foliage clip with a list x
@@theflowerfarmer Ok, thank you, looking forward for it🤗
Inspirational chat. ❤🎉 "You go girl"!!
thankyou x
I love Phillipa Gregory and having been reading her books since the first one she published. Amazingly enough on World Book Day, I did a short clip about my favourite flower books of which yours I rank top and also my not flower books of which Normal Women was the one I mentioned lol So I am delighted to see we read the same things 😂
what fine book company I'm in! x
From Miss Donna Marie Baff
On February 14th 2024, I looked inside my Wedding Flowers & Accessories magazine Jan/Feb 2016 and on page 20, I found a wonderful article Go green-fingered from author Georgie Newbury, Grow your own Wedding Flowers.
How exstradinary......
This magazine was a wonderful monthly treat for the Bee Garden, market Stall.
Thank you

how fantastic xxx
Happy International Women’s Day Georgie! I came across your channel recently and have been watching daily. We have SO much in common I think we’re long lost sisters🙃👩🏻🌾💐💐
lol - nice to meet you sis x
Thank you Georgie, another really interesting post. Women are amazing and setting goals and fulfilling. them while managing homes and families as well. I did an OU degree while my children were small it taught me a lot about time management and tenacity. I also qualified as a counselling psychologist via the BPS independent route as there were no doctorate courses in Scotland at that time. When you practice something like confidence eventually you become it. Hope you had a good IWD.
Glad you agree xxx
Great metaphors. "Flower farmers are germinated..."
thankyou x
Insightful, funny, inspiring and practical. ❤it and found your gorgeous way of communication delightful! 🙏

You and Googie are tops in my book! HAppy Women's Day from Northern Utah!

Very happy international women's day 💞 lovely video thank you
you're welcome x
Brilliant Georgie! Too late for me to do this but at least I'm very lucky to grow flowers for my hobby/favourite pastime, 😀
go for it x
Thank you Georgie, you certainly are an inspiration!
Am intrigued by the side-hustle idea. I love gardening, propagating and over the last year have been becoming more confident arranging flowers from the garden for myself and family thanks to your channel. I work full time in a job I enjoy, and have 2 young children, but I have a hankering to see if I could make a bit on the side from the garden, even if it was only enough to cover the costs of buying the plants I want. Not sure if it is a crazy idea, or how much extra time it would take, above the time I already spend gardening. I'm also not sure if trying to make money from what I love would make me love it less?
I think you may have sparked something!
go for it xxx
@theflowerfarmer I know you have done videos with other flower farmers who don't do it full time. Any idea what the minimum time it would take to make a worthwhile difference? Thank you!
so inspiring .. thank you!
you're welcome x
Hi I can’t find the horticultural name for bracket glosses. I live in a climate similar to yours, San Juan island Washington USA. I’ve been watching for a while, and recently subscribed. I’m lame at computer stuff, but I’m a good grower I’m 68 have been in this new environment and I’m still learning what to grow here. I’ve been growing plants since I was 3 and arranging flowers my whole life. Not sure if I want a business but for me and my friends. Thanks so very much Yarrow J Pressburg
Brachyglottis...I think?
Also....I live very close to you in Washjngton. Across the water from Vancover Island. 😃
@@stephaniebalducci6248 thank you I’ll look it up actually I think Georgia did call it that a while back.
@@stephaniebalducci6248 Brachyglottis common name is daisy bush which is a senecio, so let’s hope we both find out later, thanks so much, I’ll keep looking , I’m new to internet and live in deep woods and only have google but when I’m somewhere else I’ll use safari.
Yes it changed names from senecio. A valuable shrub
you're very welcome - and yes, it's brachyglottis x
Currently run my own gardening business but the dream is a flower farm. But where to start!?
decide what your financial objective is (be reasonable) and work back from that x
Rousing words, Georgie - and a brill pep talk! Too many women suffer from a Vitamin C deficiency - that's Vitamin Confidence! It starts in childhood, and gets into the marrow of their bones and they can't shake it off - so we have to talk ourselves out of it - we owe that to ourselves. I always fancied becoming an organic strawberry farmer in Tasmania - but was told you had to grow them on acres of hideous black plastic sheeting - and that turned me off the whole idea!
I am your age, and agree with you that self-employment is the way to go - simply because it is so bloody difficult to be offered a job as women grow older. Not only do we become invisible to younger employers - but I now realise - to my horror - that ageism is the new racism.
I believe strongly that if someone tells you an accepted practise (black plastic sheeting for strawberries) that you don't like the look of there's always another way to do it if you use your imagination xxx
