Lori –
Dave’s course gives you all the information you need to successfully plant the RIGHT bulbs, perennials and woodies. I put off taking his course because I thought it would be Latin names and exhaustive plant facts I didn’t have time for. I could not have been more wrong! It is packed full of the best plants for cutting along with how, when and where to plant. I am a micro grower and this course has been money well spent. Every grower large and small would benefit from having Dave’s course at your fingertips. Lisa calls Dave a walking encyclopedia on growing cut flowers and she is right!
Patricia Moss –
Lovely place beautiful flowers.
Kim –
There is so much wisdom packed into this course! As an instructional designer, I appreciate how all the information is chucked and organized into bite-size pieces. This structure makes it easy to find just the information you want to review.

If you want to up your flower game, this is the course for you. Dave’s teaching style is efficient and to the point, which allows him to cover so many flowers. The proof is in the pudding as they say. Here are just a few of the things that I have added to our lineup since taking Dave’s course.
Calla lilys, lilies, peonies, dahlias, delphinium and hyacinths. Check out my instagram at purpletuteur to see the photos.
