WORKSHOP: Adding Flowers to Your Farm: Increasing Profits and Pollinators

As farms need to diversify to secure their future, growing and selling flowers can offer agroecological businesses a viable complement to their existing production. Hear from Hannah Lamb, Yorkshire Edible Flowers, and Calixta Killander, Flourish, about growing flowers and foliage alongside fruit and veg, and from Zanna Hoskins, Spindle, about farm diversification into foliage cropping. The workshop covers how these farms started growing flowers and foliage, the biodiversity benefits of these crops, and the benefits to the farm of an expanded customer base, as well as providing top tips on how to make growing flowers work for you.
