🌸 Yesterday we hosted our very first farm tour at Yale Road Flowers!
A couple of months ago, the Wilson County Conservation District reached out about including us as a stop on their Wildflower Tour. Yesterday, about 20 people made their way out to the farm, and we had a great afternoon sharing what we’ve been building here on Yale Road.
We spent time telling the story of how Yale Road Flowers got started, we discussed peony care and what it takes to grow healthy, disease-free plants, and showed off our high tunnel that we designed and built from scratch.
We also shared some flower industry facts, talked about why so many flowers sold in the United States are imported, and explained what our cornerstone phrase, , really means to us. Supporting local flowers isn’t just about buying a bouquet, it’s about supporting local farms, local dreams and flowers that haven’t traveled thousands of miles to get here.
We wrapped up by sharing some of our future plans for the farm and answering lots of great questions from a group that was genuinely interested in flowers, gardening, and local agriculture.
Thank you to the Wilson County Conservation District and everyone who spent part of their afternoon with us. For our first-ever tour, we’d call it a success. 🌱💐
