Hello everyone, and welcome to another insightful episode of The Cutflower Podcast! I’m Roz Chandler, and today, I’m thrilled to have Roisin from Verde Flower Co. joining us. Roisin’s journey from politics and conservation to flower farming is truly fascinating, and I can’t wait for you all to hear her story and insights.
Summary: In this episode, Roisin shares her incredible transition from working in politics and conservation to diving into the world of flower farming. She took over Verde Flower Co. from her mother during the COVID-19 pandemic and has since developed a thriving urban flower farm under the iconic Tyne Bridge in Newcastle upon Tyne. Roisin also discusses her involvement in the Nuffield Farming Scholarship and her research into the future of the British cut flower industry amidst climate change challenges.
