Jello Mold Farm’s story is always interesting to passionate gardeners because it is a different take on familiar information. The basic story is about the renaissance of cut flowers as a local industry, the amazing diversity of plants that can be grown locally as cut flowers and how a small farm like ours is helping to change the way the public views cut flowers. This topic is very much a rising trend.
