#263: Dried Flowers, Added Value

Field and Garden with Lisa Mason Ziegler

Dried Flowers = Added Value!

My goal was to always sell it all fresh, but, there are always leftovers, right? Why not hang them to air dry and sell them as added-value products?

Dried flowers are back in vogue and an excellent cash crop to sell alongside your fresh fall flowers and those holiday-blooming bulb containers. Dried straight bunches, bouquets, and wreaths are all in demand.
