Ate all the croissants, embarked on a wandering pilgrimage with donkeys, took in the roses and the poppies and the sun and the river. Thanks for everything @millontherock and @beaten . Can’t wait to return to 🇫🇷

This is what I love about the Slow Flowers Movement ❤️ — Let’s go back to 2012 when we first met this week’s featured guest, Tara Kolla of @millontherock (formally Silver Lake Farms).

Tara graced our pages with her story & insights for a little book project that started our wild #slowflowerssociety journey, ‘The 50 Mile Bouquet’. Flash forward to 2024, we are so excited to connect with Tara IRL earlier this month to provide you the latest of her floral journey!

As always, here is a little snippet of what is to come in today’s Slow Flowers Podcast:

🔺 When she owned and operated Silver Lake Farms, Tara Kolla was one of Los Angeles’s pioneering urban flower growers. She helped change legislation to approve backyard flower farming and was a popular vendor at Hollywood Farmers’ Market. In 2016, Tara and her husband dramatically reimagined their lives and moved to the La Rochelle region of France. They bought a 18th century stone millhouse and poured just as much love and care into its renovations as Tara had once devoted to growing flowers. Earlier this month, I visited Mill on the Rock and today, I’m sharing a beautiful conversation to catch up listeners on the next chapter of Tara’s floral story.

The last 24 hours have been truly transformative at @millontherock with Tara Kolla, former LA flower farmer (and her sweet partner Beat Frutiger), as they treated me to a visit to their restorative retreat in Western France.
.
Now I’m back on the train to Paris to reunite with @bruce.m.brooks and friends for some Olympics fun!
