August of 2018 our local newspaper did a story about The Little Garden That Could. We were hosting our first garden tour and Rice Lake Chronotype journalist, Ruth, came for the tour as well and did an interview with me.
Click below for the post I shared regarding our first garden tour.
Hosting our first garden tour.
This early spring I received a message from Ruth that said the following..
"Hi Carla, I will be doing a story on Laurie Broome of Cumberland who read the cut flowers book you recommended in your story and plans to start a cut flower business. You inspired her, isn't that cool?"
Below I share some of the recent interview with Laurie.
"To further help her dreams to bloom, Broome read about The Little Garden That Could, a cut flower business by Carla TePaske of Cameron, who in August 22,2018, Chronotype story recommended the book "Cut Flower Garden" by Erin Benzakein of Floret Farms."
How exciting.. to have inspired someone to keep pressing on to achieve a dream. You just never know what kind of impact you will give another person. My interview for the newspaper was printed in 2018. Laurie read it, worked hard, created her own flower business and had her own interview with the paper, which will inspire another.

And know that, yes, what you do matters. Hang in there. Keep going. Keep shining your light. Let us stand united in hope, in beauty and in joy.

That is very impressive, Carla. It sounds like you inspired this lady, and she went out and started her own flower business. You inspire us as well with all the wonderful things you do and say. Your blog is like a breath of fresh air. : )
