Brightside Blooms Farm & Flower Farmer Eliess Forney
What if a flower farm is more than just that?
Flower farms grow flowers and the ones in the US -- big and small -- are making a resurgence in an industry that is mostly imports. How does that change things? Flowers that don't ship well are yours for the picking -- hyper locally -- for instance.
And what if a flower farm breeds connection? In a community that needs it. A de-stressor. What about teachers reeling from a school shooting? Can flowers help?
Come and meet big-pharma turned little farmer Eliess Forney from her Bloom Barn in Howell, Michigan where Brightside Blooms shines a light on dark moments, transforming them as best she can.
