Have you seen the show 'floret' on the Magnolia network?
If not, try to catch it...
Erin and Chris Benzakein have spent the last fifteen years building their family-run business Floret from the ground up in the fertile Skagit River Valley of Washington State. Now considered one of the most well-known flower farms in the world, they are embarking on a new endeavor—rehabilitating a new 24-acre farm in order to expand their growing ground and create a living laboratory.
Watch their journey and the transformation of the farm in the Emmy-nominated four-part documentary series Growing Floret on the Magnolia Network

A fabulous opportunity to take a cut-flower garden mini-course virtually!

Gardening Websites:

Jackie Hokanson says:
"I just discovered the PBS show, Growing a Greener World, today even though it’s in its 12th season. The website is https://www.growingagreenerworld.com. You can watch 26 minute episodes from all the seasons. I have a daughter who is a teacher in Brooklyn and I completely enjoyed their Emmy winning Episode “The Green Bronx Machine”. There is much helpful and practical gardening information - it reminds me of Britain’s Gardening World but in the United States."

"Ken Druse"
One look at Ken's website and you'll understand why he is known as "The Guru of Natural Gardening”! Ken is a celebrated lecturer, and an award-winning author and photographer. He is best known for his 20 garden books published over the last 30 years. His most recent book, "The New Shade Garden", 'Creating a lush garden in the age of Climate Change' will no doubt be of unique interest to MV Garden Club members, given the topic of gardening for shade and how climate change effects us all.
