Episode 1 - Where to Find Beautiful Flowers- and Make them Last Longer!

This week on Behind The Bloom Podcast…I’m excited to share a little more about my flower world with all of you. I’ll be talking about how I first fell in love with flowers, the inspiration behind my show Life In Bloom, as well as break down what you can expect on our podcast. 
I’ll also be diving into my books, Bloom 365 and Fun With Flowers.In fact, I’ll share one of my favorite tips straight from Bloom 365—Tip 21: Grab a Bucket. Trust me, you’ll definitely want to have one handy after this episode!
RJ and I also talk about what he loves most about Life In Bloom, and together we’ll explore creative ways to discover flowers beyond your own backyard—like visiting a local farmers market or connecting with a flower farmer nearby.

I’ll share a few of my go-to tips for getting your flowers home safely and setting them up for long-lasting beauty. This is just the beginning—every episode of Behind The Bloom will be packed with more stories,tips, and flower inspiration. 
Ok, let’s get into the episode and go Behind The Bloom!
