Watching this video brings me right back to one of the best weekends earlier this summer when I was invited to visit the Floret Flower Farm in Mount Vernon to tour the grounds and meet my hero, Erin, personally.

I'm just thankful everyone had enough flowers to pick this year! It was an amazing weekend and I look forward to seeing everyone next season!

Hopkins feels strongly that public outdoor events that bring people together are vital to the health and well-being of communities. “It reminded me of the quote where it’s better to light a match than curse the darkness,” she said.
