Kori shares insights from her decade-long journey developing new open-pollinated varieties—including her collaboration with Floret.

Whether you're a flower farmer, florist, or a gardener dreaming of your own breeding project, this episode will leave you inspired to look closer at what’s blooming—and what’s possible.
