Über diesen Titel

Becoming a Cut Flower Grower is a raw and honest podcast about growing and selling cut flowers and the realities of what it really takes to build a cut flower business from the ground up.


Hosted by a working cut flower grower, the podcast combines practical insight with thoughtful reflections on the decisions, trade-offs, and rhythms of the work — from production and selling, to confidence, sustainability, and shaping an off-grid business on a tight budget.


Episodes will be useful whether you’re starting out with cut flowers, developing a small-scale flower business, or simply interested in the craft, economics, and rhythm of growing cut flowers for sale.


With twice-weekly episodes, this podcast is an intelligent, steady companion for anyone curious to know what growing and selling cut flowers with intention and care really looks and feels like.

  • My New Website Is Live & A New Plant Profile Series Kicks-Off With Didiscus
    Jan 9 2026

    Hello, it's Friday 9 January 2026.

    Welcome to the latest episode! I've been hunkered down indoors this week finishing my new website, which I'm excited to say is now live. It has taken me a while because I wanted to write the text using all the information I learnt on my recent flower faming business course with Jenny Marks. So I hope that I have captured the spirit of the plot on the website.

    The second part of this episode is the first in a new series of flower profiles that I thought would be interesting to share with you: tonight I'm starting with Didiscus. As well as talking about the plant itself and its ideal growing conditions, I talk about how I grew it last year and how it worked out for me, and why it makes a great cut flower.

    I hope you enjoy the episode and that you'll come back and join me for the next one. And if you're interested, my new website is www.henhillcutflowers.co.uk.

    Join me on my journey through a year of growing and selling cut flowers in England.

All in real time. With guest appearances from my chickens every now and then.

  • Nine Really Useful Things To do When You Can't Work Outside & Missing Creme Eggs
    Jan 6 2026

    Welcome. It's Tuesday 6 January 2026.

    We had more snow today! It was so pretty and fluffy but it did settle on the plot and made negotiating the slope a nightmare. It's melted away now but in the next few days we have a named storm coming in bringing with it a ton a rain. Always useful for topping up the water bowsers but not so good for getting any physical work done.

    With that in mind, I've created a list of nine things I could be doing when it's not possible to work outside. Topics range from auditing last year's activities to double checking seed orders and sorting photos into proper albums. All very helpful things and those which really need doing on rainy/snowy days before spring arrives and everything goes to the wall.

    I hope you find the episode interesting and that you'll come back and join me for the next episode - you're always very welcome.

  • Snow Has Arrived, Answering Your Brilliant Questions & My New Year Resolution
    Jan 2 2026

    Welcome. It's Friday 2 January 2026.

    Tonight I'm talking about the new year resolution I've made to improve my time management and fingers crossed I can do better in 2026. I really must stop running around like a mad thing.

    I'm also answering three brilliant questions from listeners in this episode that I've received in the last couple of days and I hope you enjoy the answers. The first one is about my rose planting technique (and how this differs from how I would plant roses in a garden); the second is about the interplanting of my bearded iris amongst the peonies and how to ensure that the rhizomes get enough sunshine; and the third is about how I'm succession sowing this year. Do please keep your questions coming: I'm not an expert but I'm always happy to share how I'm doing things and (sometimes) I do know what I'm doing.

    Please do come back and join me for the next episode - you're always very welcome.
