Learn from the Leaders in the Industry
Since there is no formal education for flower farming specifically, it requires you to be resourceful and always stay humble. We’re still learning as our business grows by attending conferences and touring farms.

The Gardener's Workshop ClassGrowing Cut-Flower Crops in Hoops and Greenhouses
We're really excited to be teaching this online course! We designed this online introduction to growing in structures, something that people sometimes find intimidating. We will go into detail about the variables affecting our houses: weather, pests and diseases. We'll also share our setbacks and successes in growing.
Some topics we'll cover include season extension, choice of structures, seasonal crop planning and rotation, sustainable practices, and organic pest and disease control.
This class is targeted towards both new & seasoned farmers. Once you purchase the class you'll have access to it forever, so you can refer back to it as your farming knowledge grows. We hope that you can join us. Sign up using this link.
