Conheça a história da mulher que largou tudo para vender flores

Já pensou em deixar uma vida agitada na cidade grande para curtir a paz no interior? Pois essa é a história da norte-americana Erin Benzakein, que se mudou com sua família para o campo na tentativa de viver uma vida menos estressante.

“Sonhávamos com legumes frescos para comer direto do nosso jardim, um galinheiro próprio e um lugar para plantar um pequeno canteiro”, revelou. Mas a história da americana não para por aí: logo após a mudança brusca de vida, na época em que começou a plantar ervilhas de cheiro em homenagem à sua avó, ela teve a ótima ideia de transformar a agricultura em seu novo sustento.

Ela decidiu vender e cultivar flores orgânicas e registrar tudo em seu perfil no Instagram. Erin é fotógrafa profissional e fez o maior sucesso com as fotos das suas flores e arranjos. Hoje ela também dá cursos sobre como ensinar a cultivar flores de forma sustentável. Em breve, ela vai lançar seu primeiro livro, intitulado “Floret Farm’s Cut Flower Garden” (Jardim de Flores de Corte do Sítio Floret).

This right here is proof that dreams really do come true! The dummy copy (blank pages inside) of my book ? just arrived from @chroniclebooks so we can start shooting all sorts of dreamy product images with it while the flowers are in their prime. The actual release date isn't until February but preordering will commence in early November. I can't wait to share the awesome (printable!) garden planning kit we created as a bonus for ordering early. I hope you love it as much as I do! #floretbook #growfloret

It's amazing how in one short week it went from feeling like summer, to early autumn. These Rudabeckia 'Chim Chiminee' are coming into their prime and feel like the perfect flower for this window of time. #growfloret #floretseeds

My very favorite vase ( 11.5" Confit Jar ) from the incredible folks at @farmhousepottery filled with an armload of Cosmos 'Snowpuff'. A match made in heaven✨ #floretseeds

My favorite little friends Cora and Felix came down today to be in our film with @spenceymac. Family is the heart of Floret and these two and their mama @jillmjorgensen are just that. ? #growfloret

Trialing some new varieties of scabiosa flowered Zinnias, looking for a better color range( I want more peach and coral) and more double blooms in the mix. I think I've found them! Can't wait to add them to next year's line up. #growfloret #floretseeds #dsfloral

One of the prettiest Dahlias we grow, Pumpkin Spice. She doesn't have the strongest stems, so isn't the best variety for selling as straight bunches, but she looks incredible in arrangements. #growfloret #floretbulbs #farmerflorist

Loved seeing Little Fat Dragon, our ratty old Toyota truck, loaded down with so much beauty today. When @copterchris pulled it around the corner, someone hollered "there's the truck!" ? #farmerflorist #floretworkshop
