Tuesday 6th, Wednesday 7th, Thursday 8th October The Flower Farming Intensive Workshop (3 days) at the farm

Just 3 places left on this workshop at the time of writing. Join Georgie for an intensive 3 days at the farm in Somerset where you will spend time looking at how your business can work more efficiently, market its products more effectively, and pay you exactly what you have worked out you need to earn.

There are often students on this 3 days who have yet to start their businesses and are wisely working out how their business will work for them, as well as others who have been growing cut flowers for sale for a few years already. The group is kept small so that each business can be focused on, and each student has plenty of time to focus on their individual questions.

“Just completed the Flower Farming Intensive Workshop. Georgie’s wealth of knowledge and experience made the workshop invaluable. I am beginning my flower farming journey, but my fellow ‘learners’ have developed businesses and Georgie encompassed our, very diverse, knowledge with consummate aplomb. I left feeling empowered with much food for thought...onwards and upwards!”

“Great three days spent with the inspiring Georgie learning about how to set up and run our own flower business. Georgie was generous with her time, experience, knowledge and flowers. Another bonus which I hadn't realised would be of such value was meeting other attendees to keep in touch with & share the experience. Georgie did a fantastic job of ensuring that the course was tailored to meet all our needs at a pace that allowed lots of questions as well as being practical and hands on. Lots of relevant information that is just not available anywhere else that builds confidence and helps your structure your business from every angle. Highly recommended.”

“Brilliant 3 days at the farm with the team visiting and revisiting the nuts and bolts of running a real flower farming and artisan floristry business. Good pace, enormous amounts of practical information shared and the right amount of ‘doing’ to bring home key points on organisation and budgeting of both time and resources. Plenty of individual inspiration and support. Excellent number of students in group and what a lovely bunch! Delicious no faff lunches from a local farm shop. Not my first workshop & likely not my last.”
