If you've ever wondered how Sugar Flower Farm came to be, pull up a chair — because this one starts way before the first zinnia seed was ever sown.
Here's something that might surprise you: until 2021, I had never grown a single flower from seed. Not one. I know, it's hard to believe given what the farm has become, but it's the truth, and I think it's important to say out loud because I don't want anyone to think that flower farmers are born knowing how to do this.
We are not. We learn. We figure it out. We make a lot of mistakes.
