Garden is located on the site of Paradise Gardens, a family farm with
three distinct businesses raising everything from melons to peppers to
lavender for all types of wholesale and direct markets. Paula started
raising flowers and other crops twenty years ago and has found a market
so large she can't fill it! She's on a mission to share with other
farmers the joys of growing flowers as supplemental or winter income
projects and the ways she's used flowers to create a life she loves.
She'll be telling us all about her </span><strong style="line-height:17.55px;text-align:start">flowers</strong><span style="line-height:17.55px;text-align:start"> and the </span><strong style="line-height:17.55px;text-align:start">market opportunities</strong><span style="text-align:start"><span style="line-height:17.55px"> that
exist for these high-value crops. Along with learning about the geology
of the area, we will also see the two other farm operations on
the property and hear about how a<b> family farm</b> is operated.</span></span><span style="line-height:17.55px;text-align:start"> For more info on Paula's Garden, follow these links for her </span><a href="http://www.paulajeansgarden.com/" style="text-decoration:none;line-height:17.55px;text-align:start" target="_blank">website</a><span style="line-height:17.55px;text-align:start"> and </span><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/paulajeansgarden" style="text-decoration:none;line-height:17.55px;text-align:start" target="_blank">Etsy page</a><span style="line-height:17.55px;text-align:start">.</span></font><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0.25in"><span style="font-size:13pt;font-family:Optima;color:rgb(67,67,67)"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0.25in" align="center"><span style="font-size:13pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(26,26,26)"><a href="http://missoulacfac.org/field-days-2015.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-size:18pt;color:rgb(16,60,192)">Click here for more info and to RSVP</span></b></a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0.25in"><span style="font-size:13pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(26,26,26)"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0.25in"><span style="color:rgb(26,26,26)"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Field days are
