Cut Flower Business - Scarlet - 13-09-2021
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.

VC!! That's not going to go down well

You'll have to pull them up then!

I'm not sure what you mean about having "worm in there" ? is it a typo?
RE: Cut Flower Business - Scarlet - 13-09-2021
No...I thought that every one has bee in their logo....so worm could work. But I've since googled and there is a Worm Flowers of London

I want to do a logo with simple line drawings...
So thought I would have a lot of scope with a worm in it...

How about Slug bouquets because your drawing looks like a slug.
What about snails? They can look cute. There's a delicatessen where I live called Snails, its really popular despite its name!

A lot would depend on the cost of a stall on your local market. In Nantwich, nearest one to us, it used to be £40 for the day 8am to 3pm.

Farendwoman sells flowers too - maybe she has some advice?
