The Goat Chase: True Stories From Flower Delivery Adventures

The life of a flower delivery person is filled with unexpected adventures that rarely make it to social media. In this candid and entertaining episode, host Liza Goetz along with team members Kenley and Amber pull back the curtain on the chaotic reality behind those perfect flower deliveries.

From the daily struggle of keeping water-filled buckets upright during transport (and the inevitable mold that grows when spills happen) to the surprisingly common challenge of finding unmarked houses down winding farm lanes, delivering flowers requires creativity, patience, and sometimes a good pair of running shoes. The team shares laugh-out-loud stories about being chased by farm animals, awkwardly interrupting half-dressed wedding parties, and the delicate art of delivering sensitive messages through flowers without reading explicit notes aloud.

Wedding deliveries bring their own special brand of chaos, where emotions run high and communication between planners, photographers, and the bridal party often breaks down. The florists reveal how they've navigated critical mothers-of-the-bride, last-minute location changes, and the surprisingly common question: "Do we carry the flowers in the vases?"

Despite the challenges, there's something meaningful about being the messenger who delivers moments of joy, sympathy, or celebration. The team shares their creative solutions for safely transporting delicate blooms, from restaurant racks to anti-slip mats and strategically placed seatbelts.

Whether you're a fellow florist who'll nod in recognition or someone who's simply curious about what happens between the flower shop and your doorstep, this episode offers a delightful peek behind the scenes of flower delivery – the final and sometimes most adventurous step in bringing floral beauty into people's lives.
