The Bouquet Blueprint™ Workbook
The Bouquet Blueprint™ Workbook is designed to resemble a “mini-course”, but it being our first workbook, we went all out and packed it to the very brim. This Workbook provides a step-by-step guide to making irresistible, high-end bouquets and covers everything from seasonal crop planning to recipes and ratios, from done-for-you calculators to diagrams about how to assemble a beautiful, balanced bouquet. By the time you’ve completed this Workbook and utilized the several high-value tools within (like the Plan & Harvest Calculator… or the Bouquet Blueprint™ Recipe Tables), you’ll be equipped to create beautiful, balanced bouquets that you are proud of (and are bouquets that will SELL). Our goal is your goal: to save more time, make more money, and cultivate joy in your flower business!

A Local Flower Vision
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.
