Growing Bulbs with Val Schirmer

My guest this week brings the experience of specialty cut flower growing & fine floral design together with a motto to grow the kind of flowers that could literally stop people in their tracks. After a few Kentucky bourbon toasts on a porch one summer evening between friends was the beginning of this idea to grow the best. That was the beginning of Three Toads Farm which produced some of biggest and boldest Oriental lilies along with other heirloom flowers. This farm has been called one of the top 10 farmer florists in the country by Martha Stewart Weddings. I'm excited to be chatting with Val Schirmer owner of Three Toads Farm, upcoming President of Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers, and creator of her first online course for The Gardener's Workshop all about bulb forcing. Today we're talking about growing lily's, forcing season bulbs, benefits in joining the ASCFG, and so much more.
