Maybe you’re a flower farmer but have been eager to learn more about design? This 4 day workshop is for you! A 4 day retreat, limited to 12 attendees, where we’ll go deep on a range of topics and provide 1:1 mentoring and support.

Join us for an incredible retreat in collaboration with Witte Flower Farm. We’ll focus on developing our skills and pushing our businesses to the next level while we spend 4 days walking amongst abundant fields of flowers, cutting and gathering armfuls of gorgeous blooms to use in our creations, eating farm-fresh prepared meals, and relaxing with yoga and massages.

We’ll coach you on enhancing your floral design skills with a focus on beautiful bouquets, textural centerpieces, and the mechanics of building a floral installation. We’ll also have sessions on learning how to create your own flower garden from which to select nature’s finest, fabric dyeing, and styling for shoots and events! Imagine diving deep into these skills in a relaxing environment, surrounded by the fresh air and like-minded individuals who understand you. And then wrap it all up with business tips and a private business session! Can you imagine it? Then join us!
