While juggling two book projects, a bulb sale and a new farm design, Erin also faces a life-changing decision of whether to expand Floret into a leading dahlia supplier.
Erin struggles to overcome her nerves as she prepares to connect with hundreds of guests at a launch party to celebrate the publication of her second book, "A Year in Flowers."
Erin reflects on a challenging year and embraces both Floret's new farm design as well as her role in spreading more beauty in the world through flowers.
Erin and the team work to preserve a collection of heirloom roses that belonged to a renowned rosarian; in the process of saving roses for future generations, Erin meets another expert who helps deepen her understanding of roses.
Erin has spent years learning and documenting the practice of flower breeding, creating her own varieties called "Floret Originals" in the process; focusing on breeding for a year is hard and risky but, hopefully, worth the effort.
For 20 years, Erin has documented every part of her work to share it through an online library, a new book project and the Floret scholarship program, with the goal of empowering others.
