Georgie’s official flower season might have ended, but she is as busy as ever this week (and the list below are the things I know about - there will be many other tasks I am unaware of!)

Today, Georgie as her last consultancy session of the year - a 3 hour visit by a student to the farm (also available to do online) in what I’m sure will be a transformative session for her. Lots of dates added for 2027 if this is something you want to explore).

Then there are 2 x 2 hour online workshops to teach and a live session for our paid Substack subscribers, so there’s still lots happening!

A reminder that our online sessions are always recorded, so if you can’t join live you can still book and we send you a copy of the session to catch up with afterwards. Our paid subscribers are given a 10% discount on our website, as one of the many benefits to joining our club. This - and all the discounts we now offer with various other small businesses we love to work with - can be found on our club perks page. If you would like to join our club, simply take out a paid Substack subscription here.

Tuesday 13th October The Flower Farmer’s Year Workshop

This workshop is perfectly timed to set you up for a really organised growing season in 2027, whether you grow for pleasure or for profit.

Join Georgie and she’ll help you plan for your flower growing year, with a walk through of key dates, which she sticks to in order to ensure her beds are ready for bulb deliveries, her seeds get sown when they need to be, her crops are planted out on time and all those other crucial tasks are given the time they need, year on year.

This is a workshop you can put to immediate use, to help you feel in control and never behind with those important tasks, helping you grow with confidence.

Wednesday 14th October The Design A Cut Flower Patch Workshop

Join Georgie for this 2 hour session and learn how to plan and plant a productive cut flower patch, no matter what size patch or plot you are working with. Georgie takes participants through her own cut flower patches, shares sketched designs to spark your thinking, and answers every question about layout, soil, infrastructure, and planting, so that whatever your space, you leave with a plan you can act on.

The workshop is suitable for all gardening enthusiasts and flower growers, whatever their level: from complete beginners planning their first cutting patch to experienced growers wanting to redesign or expand their growing space.
