Fareham Florist Pod

Ep 5 - Ants!

Host Sarah of  Fareham Florist Pod shares candid stories of bullying, resilience, and the gritty realities of traditional floristry — from wiring hundreds of blooms to wrestling moss, blunt pins, and red ants.
This episode blends nostalgic trade tips (ribboning, mossing, wiring) with personal reflections on perseverance, community, and how those early hardships shaped a stubborn, creative florist.

Ep 4 - Coffin Chasers

In this episode Sarah recounts a tense day when a scheduling error sent her and her driver racing against time to deliver funeral tributes, earning them the tongue-in-cheek nickname "coffin chasers." She narrates the fast-paced route, quick thinking and teamwork that ensured the flowers arrived just in time.
The story highlights the unseen pressures of floristry — logistics, responsibility and calm under pressure — while offering a candid glimpse into life as a small business owner and how listeners can support the podcast.

Ep 3 - British Summer Time
