Choose from a variety of different workshops during the 2025 floral season. Registration is open now, so don't delay! Special events are also listed here (please scroll to the end).
Outdoor workshops are subject to weather, and may therefore also be subject to rescheduling or cancellation, so be certain to provide valid contact information upon signing up. (Cancellation may also occur if a minimum number of sign ups are not received.) Watch for updates and information in the days and weeks prior to your chosen event.
Further, when attending an outdoor workshop, you are responsible for wearing weather appropriate clothing and shoes that are appropriate for dirty, uneven, and sometimes muddy terrain. Don't forget water, a hat, gloves, glasses, and any sunscreen or bug repellent you might also need in order to be comfortable during your time here on the farm.
In most cases, necessary materials are supplied, but please read the event details closely and don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions.
