GROW Flowers for Event Florists -- Sunday 11 August 2024

Sunday 11 August 2024
10am–2pm · 276 Tikorangi Road East, Tikorangi

Come learn how to grow your own flowers to take your event designs to the next level. Growing your own flowers, even just a small intentional few, is such a vitally intrinsic part of working with flowers. There is nothing more rewarding than nurturing your own flowers into existence and reaping their bountiful harvests.

Learn what types of flowers & foliages to grow to stretch your floral budgets further, as well as all the special flowers to set your designs apart. We will cover choosing what to grow based on productivity, ease of growing, climate, profitability and design-value. Along with detailed deep dives full of growing pointers & tips for all our top crop suggestions.

The workshop will include:
- workbook full of growing info
- quick tour of our farm and set-up
- selection of seed & plants to hit the ground running when you get home.
- lunch plus tea, coffee and cake
 

NOTE

• This workshop is aimed at event florists looking to supplement their flower orders with some of their own grown flowers. There will be some overlap with flower farming in general, but it will be focused on a grow a smaller intentional selections of flowers instead of a grow all of everything type approach. We will cover general growing techniques, but if you'd like to learn how to grow from seed in depth specifically we recommend you look at one of our Geminate workshops.
