Lynette Bock, owner of Half Diamond Flower Farm, plants flowers each year to cut and sell to florists and businesses in the area. Bock also owns a law firm in Rocanville and keeps herself busy with the two different businesses.
"I've always loved growing stuff," Bock said. "I'm a lawyer too, but I want to move onto something different at some point and it's not going to happen overnight. I have to build this up first and I'm to the point in the law business where I've got an articling student starting with me, so hopefully in a few years she can take over or I can work less.
"I wanted to try something different so this is my fourth year growing. I'm from a farming background and it's always been something that both of my grandmas did. They always grew lots of flowers so it's something that I was interested in," Bock explained.
She says she began thinking about a flower farm during winter. "It was wintertime and it was miserable out and I started following some of the bigger growers on Instagram. That's where I learned a lot about different ways of growing things and what flowers are good because not all flowers are good as cut flowers. You can't grow some things here that people can grow in warmer places."
