My letter to Eden Brothers:
I just had to reach out and share this with you—because you’ve officially caused me the best kind of problem.
Before this year, I had never grown a single flower from seed. Then in December, my daughter asked if I would grow all the flowers for her wedding. Never one to back down from a challenge, I said yes… without fully thinking through the logistics.
I live in an apartment with a very small yard (that my dog has thoroughly claimed as his own), but I do have a long driveway. Thanks to some generous local ranchers here in central Kansas, I’ve gathered about 15 mineral buckets that are about to double as my “flower farm.”
For a little added context—I’m a single mom of five, and I actually have two daughters getting married this summer, so this project means a lot on a lot of levels.
Here’s where you come in…
In the past, I’ve grown tomatoes and would plant a few seeds per pod, hoping one might germinate. I did the same with your flower seeds—and clearly underestimated them. About 90% of everything I planted sprouted. When it came time to thin them out, I just couldn’t bring myself to get rid of the extras, so I carefully separated them instead.
Well… those survived too.
What started as a plan for 100 plants has now turned into over 400 thriving plants—and I officially have a space problem and can’t possibly afford any more soil, so I’ve reached out to other growers in hope they may foster these babies for me and allow me to come get cuttings when the time comes. So I truly, thank you for making my life more complicated in the most beautiful way possible.
I had heard that ranunculus and lisianthus can be difficult, and after reading reviews from other sources, I was a bit nervous. But everything I’ve purchased from you has done incredibly well—strong germination, healthy growth, and no issues so far.
At this point, my biggest concern isn’t growing them… it’s protecting them from Kansas weather. I’m seriously trying to track down a horse trailer to use as emergency hail protection!
For someone who started this with zero experience, it’s going better than I ever imagined. I’ll probably cry if I don’t pull this off—but right now, things are looking very promising.
I just wanted to say thank you. You’ve helped me create something that hopefully will be incredibly meaningful for my daughters’ weddings and something beautiful none of us will ever forget.
Eden Brothers will absolutely be my go-to moving forward.
If you happen to have any tips for protecting everything from severe weather, I’m all ears!
Now… if we could all just knock on wood together for no hail.
Thank you again, and wish me continued luck on this adventure!
