10 reasons to join our Club
The Common Farm Flowers Club
We moved the Common Farm Flowers Club to Substack in January this year. Previously we’d hosted the Club on our YouTube, which was great, but it had some limitations - and we discovered we could overcome those limitations here on Substack.
We’ve also discovered a host of other benefits to running our Club on Substack that we hadn’t even thought of before we moved over here.
We are thrilled with how the Club is growing and evolving, both in terms of numbers but also in terms of what we offer our Clubbers (as we like to call you!)
So, how does one join the Club?
Well, if you’re a paid subscriber here on Substack it means you are automatically in our club for as long as your subscription runs. So whether you choose to join us for a month (£7 in UK money) or a year (which works out at just £5.42 a month in UK money) you are IN!
Reasons to join the Club (ie take out a paid subscription on Substack)
Why would you choose to take out a paid subscription on Substack and join our club? We thought it was time to share our ‘top 10 reasons’ with you!
If you’re already in the Club do have a read and share your thoughts - have we missed any reasons? Do you agree with our list?
Anyway, in no particular order, here we go…..
Join us for a live Club chat most weeks during term time - this amounts to about 30 sessions a year. Sessions last around an hour and are on topics usually suggested by clubbers. Georgie takes questions in the days leading up to the session and answers them during the live. These sessions are PACKED FULL of useful information - sometimes aimed specifically at flower farmers, but other times relevant to any of us who love to grow cut flowers, or love nature, or books or self care, or run small businesses, or dream of getting out of the rat race….. We had our first guest, marketing consultant
last week and the response was so enthusiastic we are lining up people to invite to add value to our live chats throughout the next academic year, starting in September - see also reason number 9.Clubbers get a 10% discount code to use on our website - if you’re interested in doing a handful of our online demos or one of our days at the farm your paid subscription pretty much pays for itself
Join in with the Common Farm Flowers Substack Chat - a function we didn’t have on YouTube but REALLY wanted was a private chat function for clubbers. And now we have it. We can share news ‘hot off the press’ with you before we tell anyone else, but you can also ask questions, share experience and information, help each other out, make connections with like minded people…..
Receive full access to newsletters packed full of useful tips, tricks and information on flower farming, growing cut flowers, running a small business, achieving a work / life balance. Georgie has 15+ years experience and is very, very happy to share it with you! Paid subscribers get to see ALL our content here on Substack.
Listen to Georgie’s newsletters as a podcast! Many of the newsletters - particularly the ones written by Georgie (but never the ones written by me!) - are available to paid subscribers as podcasts. We LOVE this function on Substack - and it seems many of our busy clubbers do too, as it means they can listen while out on their farms or in their gardens….
Be part of a supportive, friendly, growing community of like minded people from AROUND THE WORLD! Whether you grow for profit or pleasure, you are very welcome. Whether you bring years of experience or you’re just starting out on a flower growing journey, you are very welcome. Whether you just want to be here to enjoy what everyone else is up to, you are very welcome!
Be the first to hear when we add workshops to our website - we will always try to let you know first about the ones that have very few places available, that often sell out.
Learn from Georgie - we’ve plans to take some of our online sessions off the website and make them exclusive content, only available to paid subscribers (and at no extra cost to your usual subscription payment.) Watch this space for news on what’s coming your way in the autumn term….
Hear from invited expert guests - this term, for the first time, we invited an expert along to one of our live club chats. We are planning to continue this in the future! See also reason number 1!
Catch up on all our previous content - all our previous content, from the day the Club moved to Substack, is available for new clubbers to catch up on. That’s a lot of catching up as we’ve shared a lot of content. But it’s there if you’d like it!
Would you like to join us?
We’d love to have you along. Joining is simple and there’s no contract or commitment to make you stay if you decide it’s not for you. You can join on a monthly or annual basis - we are keeping our monthly fee as low as possible as we know a one off annual payment isn’t always feasible.
Any questions?
