In this week’s episode of the Beet Podcast, Jacques talks with Maine grower Elizabeth Brown about cultivating flowers. They share what first inspired them to start growing, and how Elizabeth makes the most of her six months in her Maine garden. The conversation then turns to the art of arrangement and how intentionality, combined with practicality, is the key to a stunning bouquet.
