    Is Flower Farming a Real Job?

    Is Flower Farming a Real Job?

    So this was the unasked question in the room yesterday at the Seeds of Change workshop that I ran for Flower Farmers who want to grow their Flower Farms and transition into a full time career as a Flower Farmer.
    In this episode, we move past the obvious answer, which is 'yes'!  I ask the direct question that relates to you and your career intentions.
     
    And I pose some areas for reflection.
     
    Let me know what you think.  And subscribe to the channel and leave a review.
