I am not a patient person by nature. I want everything, yesterday. So waiting an entire year to see this story in print was tough. But holy cow, was it ever worth the wait!

Never in my wildest dreams did I expect that we’d get nine pages. When the writer sent me a screenshot from her iPad last week, my jaw about hit the floor. What an incredible surprise!! A huge thank you to Country Living and writer Christine Chitnis for so beautifully telling our story.

If you want to see the spread for yourself, it just hit newsstands last week.

    I loved the article in County Living. I have read it twice, and put it in my flower articles to save!

    Congratulations to you Erin. You must be thrilled to bits. I’ve just put a link to your site on my blog so that other gardeners, florists, and growers in the UK can find you. Please could you take a quick look to see if this is acceptable to you? Thanks for sharing what you have learned about growing beautiful flowers. Gillian

    I just saw this article today as I was reading the magazine, and when I finished swooning, I raced over to my computer to find out more about you and your lovely farm. What a beautiful business and life you have created for yourself, and thank you so much for sharing it with the world!

    Wow! Just got Country Living! So happy for you Erin and your whole team. My friends think I’m a celebrity because I went to your July workshop and now you are famous (again) in yet another beautiful article. Keep on doing what you are doing. Excellent on all levels.

    I just found out about you because of this magazine! I have always wanted to work with flowers and was so happy to read about your beautiful soul filled flower farm. What a tremendous article. Congratulations on all of your hard work…to you, to your family…to all who labor in love over those sweet flowers on the farm. I hope my lucky stars will one day align and I’ll be able to visit or take one of your workshops. Cheers to you!

    Beautiful article!! When you’re down and overwhelmed, remember how blessed you are and what an incredible inspiration you are to so many, as you’re so real and honest. My goal is one day to have the opportunity to attend one of your workshops, and you start my day every morning checking what gorgeous photo you’ve posted on instagram. Thank you and big congratulations!!

      Wonderful post , I totally agree. We have started a Cut Your Own flower farm and now an event center for weddings and other special events. Erin’s tenacity and honest blogging has been a true touchstone and a constant inspiration for me. Bravo on your magazine spread … you and your family have worked very hard to get here.

    Ever since reading your article I’ve been looking at every photo you’ve posted on Instagram. What a blessing to be surrounded by so many beautiful flowers every day. I even ripped a page out to give to a friend of mine..she used to be a florist and this would be a dream come true for her. I had her hang it up so she can be reminded of her dream every day. You are such an inspiration for people to follow their hearts and dreams. xo Liz http://www.4evermysweetpea.com

    Saw your article in CL and searched you out online to see more. You have a beautiful business and this very amateur flower gardener/arranger is in awe. Following your blog now and hope to use your “how-to’s” for my daughter’s upcoming October wedding arrangements. I feel like I’ve stumbled on something really, really big! Thanks so much for sharing online your techniques and photos.
