What is your legacy?
This is the central question of Growing Floret season 2, and Erin wrestles with it as she works to save endangered roses, breed never-before-seen varieties of flowers, create a massive library of her work, and start writing a new book. She juggles these projects while trying to run a successful business and be a good steward of the land. Each episode unravels a different element of Erin’s most cherished values and the ones she wants to carry into the future.
This season is a four-part exploration of the past, the future, and doing the best with the time that you have now.
Erin and the team work to preserve a collection of heirloom roses that belonged to a renowned rosarian. In the process of saving roses for future generations, Erin meets another expert who helps deepen her understanding of roses, their legacy, and her own.
Erin has spent years learning and documenting the practice of flower breeding, creating her own varieties called “Floret Originals” in the process. Focusing on breeding for a year will be hard and risky but hopefully worth the effort.
For 20 years Erin has documented every part of her work, not just for herself but also to share it. Through an online library, a new book project, and the Floret scholarship program, Erin wants to empower others.
When Erin first started growing cut flowers, her work was in tune with the natural world. There was a time to be productive and a time to rest. After years of feeling out of sync, Erin rethinks how she wants to spend her time.
