Seeds of Hope with Collie Flowers (LIVE at Shrewsbury Flower Show)

Sip & Sow with Tom Coleman

Collie Flowers started as an idea in Nic's mind to make gardening information more accessible and easy to understand. Before she knew it, she'd started a business selling seeds, with a passion to be known for value and quality. Her love for gardening is part inherited from Hazel, mum to Nic, who's been gardening for as long as she can remember. In this podcast, recorded live at Shrewsbury Flower Show, I dive into the story with both of them.
I love Nic & Hazel's warmth, banter and passion. One of the reasons I love Collie Flowers is that it's a family business, with core values at it's heart, and that shines through in this episode.
Now is the time for Autumn sowing - SAVE BIG with Collie Flowers!
