What makes a home "homie"? Well me like to think YOU do, as in you as a individual. Whatever is you is exactly what home is. Weather your bright and colorful but minimalistic, or chill warm and eclectic. Making a home is putting your personality into a  physical space. But Girls, what if I don't know how to do that? Well don't you fret Bloomers! We got some tips for you.

We have to confess, we're kind of plant nerds. Well Rilley is, especially when it comes to medicinal plants and being able to know how to identify them in the wild. So after a fun weekend away full of woodland and costal plant heaven, she's FINALY doing her healthy plants episode. Lets dive into plants and flowers growing in your own back yard an how they may just help you with those headaches or insomnia.  Healthy plants aren't just your fruits and vegetables.

Beth Chatto was the amazing gardener who said "Right plant, right place." meaning there is a prefect plant for each circumstance, you just need to do the research. Well you can also think of this when your creating a garden, what is it that the landscape is already telling you? Is it dry and sandy? Or maybe wet and shady? All of these things can drastically  change the kind of garden that you'll want to create, but we can walk you through it. This episode Emma and Beth talk about the different gardens we've had to make on the farm and how to be creative with the space your given.

Flower farming seems like the most magical job, where rainbows and butterflies fill the sky, and we frolic through fields of wild flowers, ribbons flowing behind every twirl, but lets be real here.  There is a lot of work that goes into farming!  Just like any other job, this one has its ups and downs, and we would love to sit down and chat about what it takes to be a flower farmer, and as always, we have some pretty funny stories to tell.

Many times we get the question "How do you do it all?". With us not only full time farming/designing, we are also running a YouTube, posting on Instagram daily, and of course recording this podcast. To not get overwhelmed we came up with some tips and tricks we've found really helpful over the years that keep us organized, and on top of the farming life. So here is our guide to how we "Do it all".  

P.S. We definitely don't always have everything all organized and together all the time. Every tip is something we have learned from making a mistake, so don't feel bad about not getting everything done because we just do our best and want to share a few things that might help you.
