In this episode, Sydney and Audrey talk about....

Our August Gardening Checklist, and how that looks on our Flower Farm! We deep dive into the checklist to give you some extra details for how to use it in your garden specifically and changes you might need to make based on your zone.

A quick update on what our Flower Farm is looking like right now; what's blooming, what's done, and what's on the horizon here in Western Colorado with our high-desert climate!

We also give a nice pep-talk (if you need it like we do) for how to stay excited and motivated to work on your garden or farm after several long months so far in the season! :)
