It’s World Letter Writing Day, so here’s a letter to September 2027 me.
Dear Gemma,
Wow! What a spring and summer you’ve had! Perfect weddings, bursting with seasonal flowers. Couples and guests absolutely blown away by what you’ve created. You really paid them back for their trust in you and your vision for their day. You must be so proud of yourself!
The flower field continues to be really productive and you’ve worked so hard to grow a bountiful supply of your own flowers - that is no mean feat! The last couple of summers have been tough, haven’t they?!? Well done for sticking with it and knowing that what you do is worth the effort. Have you sown the 2028 hardy annuals yet? (Always best to check, you’re so in demand I wouldn’t want anything to slip)
Also, on a side note, how’s the recruiting going? Did you decide how many hours of what you need? I hear you’ve started horse riding lessons so you’ve freed up some time somewhere, haven’t you?!?
I tried to get on your workshop last month and it was fully booked with a waiting list. The photos of what everyone made look ace! I’m looking forward to the Christmas workshops. The Studio really is the perfect base for classes like yours.
Anyway, I want you to know how proud I am of you and all that you’ve achieved and continue to grow.
Now you’ve had a rest of the August Bank Holiday, time to crack on with last 6 weeks (or so!) of the flower season!
You got this!
Gemma 💐
