Fall Woody Shrubs On the Flower Farm

An In-Depth, On-Farm Workshop for Flower Farmers

You're invited to our fall educational workshops! Space is limited.

All the details:

Come spend two hours with me on the flower farm in Dorr, Michigan, for a small-group, hands-on workshop, all about growing and harvesting woody cuts for fall sales on your flower farm. This isn't just a farm tour. We'll walk the farm together and take an in-depth look at the woody crops I grow and harvest for my own florist customers.

Fall Workshop Dates:

August 28th: 6-8pm
August 29th: 6-8pm
September 11th: 5:45-7:45
September 12th: 5:45-7:45

WE'LL DIG INTO:

Smokebush
Ninebark
Snowberry
Viburnum
Hydrangeas
And other fall woody cuts growing on the farm

I'll share what I've learned about growing each crop, including variety selection, where and how I grow them, spacing, harvesting, and how I use them in my flower farming business.

You'll see the plants growing in the field, and I'll demonstrate how and when I harvest them so you can see exactly what I'm looking for when I'm choosing stems.

Most importantly, I want you to leave with the information you came for. We'll have plenty of time for questions throughout the evening, plus dedicated Q&A time so you can ask about what you're growing, what you're considering adding to your farm, or anything else you'd like to dig into.

Light refreshments and non-alcoholic drinks will be provided. Come ready with questions!

Enjoy an evening with a small group of fellow flower farmers! It can be a great opportunity to get to know others passionate about flower farming as well! :-) We can learn from each other!

You'll also go home with an educational handout you can refer back to as you plan and grow woody cuts on your own farm.

Limited to just 15 flower farmers per workshop.

WHY ONLY 15 PEOPLE?

I want these workshops to be small.

This is your opportunity to actually get into the field, see the plants up close, watch harvest demonstrations, and ask your specific questions.

With only 15 people, we'll be able to slow down, dig into the details, and have real conversations about growing these crops on a flower farm.

If you've been thinking about adding more woody cuts to your farm—or you already grow some and want to get more out of them—I would love to have you join me.
