Sampaguita has been an integral part of my life. It has
supported my family for 3 generations now. In 2019, I started my own little
farm from the 1,000-m2 land I bought J
But why sampaguita?
Simply because, I knew sampaguita my whole life. From
choosing the right cuttings to marketing, I ace on these.
Worth the wait
Sampaguita takes time to grow. It need at least two years
before commercial production takes off. Yeah boy, 2 years of waiting. (I have
lots of expenses already!). So, 2020 is very crucial. Failure this year will mean stunted growth and
irreversible damage to cash flows in the succeeding years.
Diversification
With my new place, I met other farmers who grow other
marketable cut flowers .Meet Tiyo Nestor. He has provided me planting materials
of his highly prized aster! (And even taught me his secrets on growing the perfect
flowers despite withholding the information to others!) (Maboot man palan ako
hehehe.)
Relax and sip coffee
Early morning walk in the farm watching the sampaguita and
aster bloom side by side is to die for experience! Nothing beats home (Mt.
Mayon in the background).
