About this listen

My guest is Marryn Mathis, a flower farmer and educator running a small family flower farm in Stanwood Washington.  A few years ago Marryn left her corporate job for a life of flowers and has never looked back.  To hear Marryn’s approach, it seems like she can always do more, whether that’s planting 13,000 sweet peas to 10,000 sunflowers.  This past spring she also fielded 46,000 online visitors to her dahlia tuber sale.  It speaks to her boundless energy and enthusiasm for what she does, and the joy she takes in sharing flowers with her community.  What I am struck by, though, is how thoughtful she is about what she spends her time on – she is constantly reconsidering and reshaping her work, which then allows her to put her whole heart into the farm and its many wonderful projects.  Whether it’s a wall of sweet peas or a rainbow row of dahlias, you’re sure to be inspired.
