Flower Discoveries
On a recent episode of Flower Discoveries, Jacelyn shared her new affinity for watercolor. This week, she’s telling us about a genius artist, @alicelovesdrawing, who posts how-to videos for watercolor flowers. You’ll also hear about one of Janine’s side hobbies and how @mowglistudio helped her find her most recent discovery. This led to a fun conversation about plant identifying apps. Finally, Kelly’s revealing a scary critter bug she found in her garden!
Special Guest: Tulip Town
On this episode of the Team Flower Podcast, Kelly is joined by Andrew Miller and Angela Speer. Andrew and Angela are two of the five owners of Tulip Town. They were all high school friends who recently returned to their hometown of Skagit Valley to purchase the iconic Tulip Town farm from its founder Anthony (Tom) DeGoede. Their mission is to carry its rich tradition into the future for many more generations to enjoy.
You’ll hear from the pair on how they’ve navigated the COVID-19 pandemic as a farm. It’s important as a business owner to know how to problem-solve in a crisis, and Andrew is walking through the steps you can take and the questions you should be asking. We’re ending the interview talking about mind-mapping—what it is and how it works.
