b'Today we are setting the table with pretty flowers. Or, as many of us here in Tennessee pronounce it, purty flares. No, it\\u2019s not about the eating. It\\u2019s about the joy and beauty flowers add to this life. That little touch of grace to the table, the home, or that person in need or celebrating a special event.\\xa0\\n\\nToday, my guest is Susie Kawar, owner and operator of Little Mountain Flower Farm, located in Maryville, TN. Susie grows her flowers and puts together farm-fresh floral arrangements by hand in her floral studio right on her family\\u2019s farm.\\xa0\\n\\nShe, her husband, and her children grow these flowers with sustainable, regenerative growing practices. In addition, they have a sweet yellow dog named Paris that\\xa0found them\\xa0when they lived in Paris, TN. This is an inspirational story of a person who has teamed her creative skills with a firm knowledge base in agriculture and has made a living for herself and her family doing something that she loves to do that brings joy to others. She will also share one of her go-to recipes for a refreshing tabouli salad.\\n\\nAlso, in Fred Sauceman\\u2019s Pot Luck Radio series, he features one of Tennessee\\u2019s oldest restaurants - Nicks - of Kingsport, TN.'
