Well I know NG had a go at this and I think I may too! I hope NG pops in and reads this and can offer advice /pros and cons.
As some of you know I've been growing lots of dahlias this year and as I've had a huge surplus I started selling them at my gate after several friends requested flowers - it's been reasonably successful and I wondered if selling at our local farmers market as a casual trader may make a difference to just pocket money or a worthwhile thing to do. I'm quite excited by it actually. I've always grown lots, just turning to only flowers wouldn't be too difficult, I've done several floristry courses and several weddings, bouquets etc - I live the arranging bit. Growing flowers suitable for growing may not be so easy - though that may be started on another thread!
Anyway - I need a name first - something quirky, not just scarlets blooms! .....would love it to have worm in there- best I've come up with so far is Bee Happy Blooms, petals and posies? I need some stickers with my name and telephone/FB pages etc on and to stick my recycled brown paper that I use to wrap.
