Planning and Planting for Summer Blooms

If you’ve always wanted to grow beautiful blooms for cutting then this workshop is for you! We’ll be covering the very basics of preparing your site, choosing plants, planting, nurturing, and cutting a beautiful harvest of your very own. In this beginning workshop we will focus on easy annuals. Whether you’ve always dreamed of being a flower farmer or you just want to grow a few beauties for your own use, this day will provide you with the knowledge to get you started. And at the end of the day you will get to take home a tray of plants to get you off to a quick start! A pair of our favorite clippers will also be included so you are well prepared to start cutting. This workshop will be on-site at our flower farm near Waverly Nebraska. We will be outside and hands on so dress accordingly! Attendance will be limited so there is plenty of room for social distancing.

Planning and Planting for Future Blooms

In this advanced version of our cut flower workshop we’ll be covering perennial plantings, woody ornamentals, bulbs, tubers, advanced watering methods, support systems, and tools of the trade. If you’ve already got some experience with successfully growing annuals then this workshop is for you. If you have no growing experience then we highly recommend that you start with the beginning workshop ‘Planning and Planting for Summer Blooms’. This workshop will be on-site at our flower farm near Waverly Nebraska. We will take a walk around the farm to look at the many perennial plants that we have here so you can get ideas for your own plantings. At the end of the day we will send you home with a few perennial plants of your own to get you started. We will be outside and hands on so dress accordingly! Attendance will be limited so there is plenty of room for social distancing.

A Deeper Dive into Succulents

Succulents are some of the most intriguing plants but they can also be a bit frustrating. Whether you’ve grown these for years and are just looking to increase your knowledge or if you’re new to the world of succulents, we think you’ll be able to learn something from this workshop. We’re going to take a deeper look into the needs of succulents, especially the soil. We’ll also learn how to propagate different types of succulents. You’ll then get some hands on experience by making your own planter to take home with you. All plants, potting medium, containers, and tools will be provided. Additional plants and containers will be available for purchase. We will be outside and hands on so dress accordingly! Attendance will be limited so there is plenty of room for social distancing.
