Among flower growing clients and friends who achieved their goals in 2022, I’ve noticed these common trends:
- They actually set goals.
- They balance discipline and flexibility.
- They keep a prioritized To-Do list.
- They create a global plan and believe it will work.
- They know consistency is key.
- They are curious.

And incidentally, I find people with these same characteristics actually make not just good flower farmers and home gardeners but also good chess players, singers, dog trainers, writers, etc., etc…, and it’s no surprise. They have a growth mindset and are not happy settling for the status quo. They’re hungry for knowledge and they love learning!
Kicking off on January 12, we’re planning 2 weeks of daily Live Trainings on Planning for Gardening Success in our online members-only community The Garden! If you’re looking for help with goal setting and implementing, I’d love to have you along for the adventure. The classes will be Live and interactive, and also recorded and posted in The Garden so community members can watch and re-watch as often as they’d like.
Members of The Garden have access to our new e-course “Anyone Can Grow Dahlias,” regular Live Trainings, flash sale and dahlia trial opportunities, and first access to our dahlia tuber sales! More information on our website.
