Thank you so much to so many of you for tuning into my live video with Marlston Farmgirl! My very first chat in our new series, My Flowery Life. And there are many more to come. Here is the full recording you can watch if you were not able to join us, or watch again if you so desired…
I could have chatted to Kim for hours. She is such a warm, wonderful person and the flowers from her farm are another level of fabulousness.
Kim is truly inspiring and she really has mastered the art of ‘can do’ and of a career and life pivot, embracing each chapter and collecting friends and fans along the way.
From working for fashion’s big names to opening her own flower shop to flowering for film sets (Oceans 12 and Bridesmaids) to revamping the flowers at the Whitehouse under the Obamas, then moving to England and starting her own flower farm. That’s a lot of ‘f’s there, so let’s just say she’s truly fabulous.
A couple of short clips to get a feel for the ground we cover!
Kim on starting her flower shop…
And on ants and peonies!
We will try to schedule our My Flowery Life chats every Tuesday or Wednesday and some of my guests will be from abroad so will find a time that suits us all… and of course, we’ll let you know in advance when they’re happening. It’s so lovely to have you all on the chat with us and asking questions.
Next week, I will be talking to Jo Thompson at 9.30am (UK time) on Wednesday, do message me with any questions you’d like me to weave into our chat.
And please tell us - who would you love to see on My Flowery Life? Let me know in the comments….
The October edition - open for all to read - is out on Sunday, so look out for that in your inboxes and here on Substack (try the app on your phone or desktop on your computer). In it, I share my fashion loves for October and my go-to healthy smoothie; we interview the fabulous Molly Mahon, there’s a guide to what I'm sowing in the garden now (and a handy chart that will show you when to sow and when it will flower), a delicious autumnal recipe, and much more.
Have a lovely rest of your week and weekend.
With love,
Willow
