We’ve got some Wild Zinnia news that I’ve been meaning to share for ages, but hadn’t quite been ready to share. For the last year or so debs was working two jobs, here at The Wild Zinnia and as a chaplain in schools and before the summer Debs has stepped back from the flower farm to give more time to her role in schools. It’s a huge loss for me- it’s been a wonderful journey building this business together but it is so exciting to see her next chapter unfold.
What does this mean for The Wild Zinnia? Well it’s been a summer of surprises. We’ve expanded and had 5 heatwaves sending all the perennials into dormancy. But the field is still throwing out an abundance of flowers and I couldn’t have done it without the help of some wonderful people who’ll get an introduction later this week.
It has meant that I have been rubbish at correspondence over the summer. Wholesale letters and monthly newsletters all but stopped. September always feels like a time of fresh starts so these will be starting up again with news of workshops, pick your owns and what flowers we’ve got available.
