We are looking to grow our business with another passionate farmer! How we grow will depend on the interests of that individual and we can start this relationship as a part time job.

It was our 3rd year of business as Wild Bee Florals and 2nd year at our current growing site. We are still learning about the soil conditions in different areas around the farm and what the edges of the growing season are within the Comox Valley.

It was such an interesting experience looking at Sri Lanka from the perspective of a flower farmer. I was seeing familiar surroundings in a completely different way, opening my eyes to a deeper understanding of its beauty and potential. When I visited different farms, I was eager to speak with the farmers about their general perspectives on agriculture.

2021 was an eventful year, filled with farm projects, collaborations with creatives, and so many beautiful florals!

At the start of 2021, I was approached by the lovely Olivia of Salmon Nation about sharing our farming journey and search for community in BC. During this time I learned more about Salmon Nation as a region - Northern California to the North Slope of Alaska - and Salmon Nation as a network which “exists to accelerate a vibrant and growing movement towards healthier, localized, more regenerative economies and communities.”

Flower farming sounds like a glamorous dream job, and it can be, but there are lots of moving parts and for a significant amount of time there is a lot of grunt work (wheelbarrowing compost, starting seeds, cleaning buckets, etc). With that being said, there is no other job that makes me feel fulfilled as the farmer florist lifestyle.
