Flora de Lune: Kalbach Cultivates Floral Rainbow in Kansas
Kalbach nurtures a garden behind his Leoti area farm 12.5 miles northeast, growing dried and fresh flowers for Flora de Lune. He works through gusts, rain risk, and an impending frost to prepare bouquets for the Whimmydiddle Arts and Crafts Festival in Scott City, while juggling bills, water needs, and a long craft-show circuit. He relies on family help, his sister assisting yet noting his meticulous pace, and he blends flowers with wild elements for weddings and displays.
