Against all odds with Roz Chandler
This weeks podcast is a little bit special, many of you know that I met todays guest just one year ago, a relationship which initially started as a client, but soon blossomed into a deep friendship. Roz Chandler is a British Flower Farmer and owner of Field Gate Flowers, proudly supplying sustainable, seasonal blooms.
This last year has been her most challenging yet, as earlier this year she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, but famous for her positive can do attitude, she’s been documenting the journey through Instagram.
Me & Roz have become known for sharing snippets of our conversations online, often hilarious moments, serious chats, business ideas and outtakes. Many of you have commented about our relationship, and we even ended up featured in an episode of Woman’s Weekly. So in this episode I’m pleased to let you in on one of our conversations in its totality. We discuss what it takes to be a flower farmer, the moment she was diagnosed, how the journey has made Roz focus on her diet & lifestyle - and you can listen as she tries to persuade me to change mine!
This podcast is also available to watch in full on Youtube, where you can see all of the action and these incredible spaces for yourself! Just search for the 'Sip & Sow podcast'.
