Brenna Estrada is the owner and founder of Three Brothers Blooms, a flower farm located on 2.5 acres of Camano Island in the Pacific Northwest.
Brenna is also the author of Pansies, How to Grow, Reimagine, and Create Beauty with Pansies and Violas, published by Timber Press just over a year ago. Brenna makes a compelling case for revisiting our relationship to pansies, and her book was CP Host Ben Futa's own gateway to growing nearly 1,000 plants from seed in 2026.
Their conversation this week spans many topics, with pansies as a worthy and common thread. As happens often in this work, we're reminded how this process of growing plants is just as much about cultivating ourselves as it is about cultivating our places. Listen in!
