Growing flowers can be a rewarding yet challenging journey for those willing to try their hand at this specialty crop. First in Flowers has taken initiative to promote locally grown flowers in Delaware. On July 25th First in Flowers held a farm tour at Spectrum Farms in Felton, DE. The event was attended by several local flower growers and those who are just starting their journey in the specialty crop sector. The day was filled with discussions on utilizing different management techniques, maximizing space, and examining a variety of flowers being grown in Delaware. Growing flowers in Delaware has a bright future with plenty of opportunity ahead.
First in Flowers next event will be a workshop for Crop Planning for Flower Farmers on October 24th, 1 to 4pm at the UD Paradee Center.
