Are you looking for a more intimate, personalized experience at Flourish Flower Farm? Or are you looking for the perfect ladies night or mother-daughter date? We can customize the experience just for you! Whether you are hoping to gain or enhance your floral design skills or simply want to enjoy mountain views surrounded by fields of flowers, we have you covered.

FLOWER ARRANGING: Learn and practice simple, timeless floral design and flower arranging skills using gorgeous locally grown flowers. Everything about the experience is customized ~ choose to design a bridal bouquet, lush centerpiece, flower crown or floral jewelry. We stroll the fields together to harvest the flowers that we’ll use to arrange with and cover everything from color palette selection to creating a balanced arrangement and all the fun details in between. Our private sessions are simply about inspiring your creativity, teaching floral design skills and helping you have a wonderful experience against the picturesque backdrop of a flower farm in the mountains. If you are looking for an in-depth class about design, we recommend our Floral Design Essentials Classes.

FLOWER FARMING 101: Let us help you get a jump start on your flower farming business! Depending on where you are in your flower farming journey, our sessions include business start up considerations, crop planning, variety selection, soil preparation, tools/supplies/equipment, succession planting, stage of harvest, record keeping systems, sales outlet selection and more. In order to preserve our local market, flower farming sessions are open to clients outside of Western North Carolina. If you are looking for an in-depth class about starting + operating a flower farm business, we recommend our 2-day Flower Farming 101 Workshop.

 
“Thank you for answering the 100+ questions we had on farming, growing, designing, and running a cut flower business! The discussions we had at the workshop will provide us with invaluable material and knowledge that we will be able to use today, tomorrow, and for years to come. I came back to Minnesota with a renewed sense of determination and passion! I look forward to what the summer brings. I look forward to the journey of following my passion of becoming a successful flower farmer, whatever that may look like! I enjoyed the relaxed workshop that you provided that catered to our needs. Your farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains is beautiful! ”
