‘Work with mother nature’

Mark Lansburgh describes his offerings to Winnie Kaley, of East Thetford, right, who stopped by Talk Well Farm in Post Mills, Vt., to buy flowers Saturday, April 11, 2020. Lansburgh has been a flower wholesaler for over 30 years, but since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic has lost half his business. He is now in planning to launch a retail website and a regular delivery circuit, and is selling from the farm. “This is going to be a fascinating experience,” said Lansburgh about the effects the pandemic will have on society. “I see virus breaks in my lilies all the time,” he said. “Nature’s trying this stuff out. You can’t fool mother nature, you have to work with mother nature.” (Valley News - James M. Patterson) Copyright Valley News. May not be reprinted or used online without permission.
