Helping You Avoid Costly Business Mistakes

After 10+ years growing and selling flowers, we know a thing or two (or two thousand). From planting our first cut-flower variety and wholesaling that first bucket of blooms… to growing 100+ species of floral ingredients and selling 6-figures in flowers each year, we know the ins and outs of running a farmer-florist business. We’ve experimented with nearly every revenue stream and have celebrated many wins! But as with all growing businesses, we’ve also made the mistake of spending our most valuable resources - time, money, mental energy - trying to figure out what does and doesn’t work along the way. We’re here to help you avoid those costly mistakes so you can fast track your dream into a healthy, successful flower business.

  • Design bouquets that command a worthy price point and turn first-time buyers into repeat customers. The success of your business and the beauty of your product are directly correlated!

  • Grow compelling and versatile varieties and learn what's downright crucial in every growing season. The floral products you offer are only as impactful as the ingredients within!

  • Develop a clear business plan and equip yourself with the tools to optimize your cut-flower outfit. The right strategy + informed execution = excellent results.

We believe the beauty and joy of flowers transforms the world for the better. Flowers can redefine a space, enliven the heart, and say things that sometimes words cannot. We also believe that locally produced flowers are exponentially healthier for humans and the environment, especially when they are sustainably and humanely produced.

As we support and educate fellow flower farmers, we hope the accessibility of local flowers continues to rise and ultimately become the standard in communities across the globe.
