Hello friends,

By the time you've read this blog post, I will have already been studying for one week in the 6 week online Floret Flower Farming Workshop.

Every year in October, Floret Flower Farm opens registrations for their yearly online Floret Flower Farming Workshop. It's an in depth 6 week workshop covering all things flower farming: including whether flower farming is right for you (and what you might want it to look like), planning and mapping out your flower farming operation, making a start at flower farming, growing your flowers, sales and marketing, and finally harvesting cut flowers and selling them in whichever way works for you.

Their online workshop has a massive course book, and hundreds of video lessons to go through, along with question and answer video sessions, and an online community for those learning together in the workshop.

I've wanted to do this workshop for many years, and when registrations opened last October, hubby encouraged me to register and finally fulfill my dream to study with Floret. After registering, it wasn't long before a heavy package arrived in the mail from Floret, containing the course book and other workshop goodies.

I spent a long time flicking through the pages of the workshop course book, getting excited for the workshop starting in early January 2026, and then in early December it was time for workshop orientation. There were some online videos to watch about what was to happen in the workshop, along with some administration tasks to accomplish ahead of the starting date. One exciting part was a trip to a stationery store to buy workshop supplies including a poster board, graph paper and tracing paper, and a new A4 binder to hold all the worksheets I would be downloading and filling out...

And now it's January, and the Floret Flower Farming Workshop has begun. I'll be super busy with the workshop for the next 5 weeks, but I already have enough blog posts lined up to cover this period (hopefully, if everything goes to plan...).

Have a wonderful day

Julie-Ann
