Roses and More with Arielle Zamora

Flower Friends

Today we are joined by Arielle Zamora from Small Yard Flowers to chat about her farm, flowers, and artful floral design. We talk about her growing spaces, what she grows there, her event and design work, the unmatched beauty of fresh local flowers, and then dive into roses. Arielle shares some of her favorite rose varieties to grow, tips on supporting them, and how to combat disease. She also offers tips on how to let fresh-from-the-garden flowers guide your designs.
If you're not already following Arielle, go visit Small Yard Flowers' website and Instagram, and check out her videos on YouTube, including how to plant a bare root rose, and how to prune your roses!
In the intro Sarah gives some garden updates and shares some of her failures from this season with a reminder that we're often sharing way more of our successes than our failures online! Stay til the end for a flower fact about top states for floriculture, and the newest addition to our song of the week - which we just created a Spotify playlist for!
