Grow Broomcorn for Making Brooms & Fall Decor – Follow my three-year adventure growing broomcorn, with the original intention of making my own broom. Tip: you have to grow more than one row to make a broom! With original music by Jon Pileggi.
Give it a try! It’s fun and broomcorn makes a beautiful border even if you do nothing with it, and it is an annual in temperate zones. Order seeds here or click on photo and help support Late Bloomer!
This story culminates in a chance visit to Granville Island Broom Co., in Vancouver, B.C., when I was up there for the Vancouver Web Fest. Sisters Mary and Sarah Schwieger carry on the family broom making tradition in their charming store with hundreds of unique handmade brooms.
Don’t forget, I’m looking for feedback for Season 5 episodes of Late Bloomer, and financial support to make it happen. Do you enjoy interviews with others, or stories about my garden, or both? Consider making a donation to keep Late Bloomer blooming! Thanks for your support! ~ Kaye
