Soil is our earth’s living, breathing skin , & it is important we keep it healthy. All of our members use compost or composted manure to add organic matter to the soil; we use natural types of fertilizer, and avoid chemical pesticides. We also use no-till or minimum till practices whenever possible.
Support biodiversity & boost flower farming yields. While flower farming is often associated with beauty and aesthetics, it also plays a crucial role in supporting biodiversity and providing habitat for pollinators.
