In this episode of the Cut Flower Podcast, Roz discusses the importance of understanding climate zones in cut flower growing. She emphasizes that successful flower growing relies on core techniques rather than strict adherence to climate zones. Rosalind encourages listeners to observe their plants and adapt techniques to their specific conditions, rather than feeling limited by their climate. The episode also highlights the value of online master classes for growers worldwide, regardless of their location.
