Online Mini-Workshops

with The Gardener’s Workshop

The Gardener’s Workshop offers mini-workshops that are available for purchase year-round and give immediate access to all content.

Online course learning is convenient and easy!

Why learn from farmers if you are a gardener? Because gardening on a grander scale is what they do every day as their chosen work. Like any profession, mastering the work to find the most efficient, easiest, and cost-effective way is what leads to success. Flower farmers are no different. Our instructors are sharing from their years of first-hand experiences in both gardening and farming.

You’ll love learning from online courses. It’s much like an in-person class but even better because you can watch at any time and for as many times as you want because you have forever access. It’s like purchasing a book, but instead of reaching for the book, reach for a device with internet access and log in to your course library to access your purchased courses.

What is the difference between School courses and Mini-Workshops?

Mini-Workshops vary from sixty minutes to over four hours of instruction, see individual courses for details. Each of these courses offers lots of valuable information on a specific topic that you can digest in a short amount of time and put into action right away.

School course content is much more comprehensive and covers broad topics. School courses are meant to serve as a long-term reference tool that you will use all throughout the course of your flower farming journey. Each course includes 6 modules, which each contain multiple video training sessions, instructor worksheets, and handouts, and an FAQ archive. All of the course sessions (including the FAQs) are searchable by keyword, so you can always find and go directly to the information that you need at any given time.

I would never have had the courage to start flower farming without this course on seed starting! What I love is Lisa knows just how much to teach. She knows so so much more than she teaches but like any excellent teacher she organizes and teaches just what you need to be successful.

I highly recommend this seed starting course. I’ve been gardening for decades and didn’t know some of the “secrets” to starting seeds. Lisa breaks everything down in simple and easy to understand steps. She is just a natural educator! I love that she actually shows you in her videos how to do it. Another bonus, this workshop is yours to reference forever! I went through the workshop again just as a refresher before my first attempt at soil blocking. Soil blocking is the most environmentally friendly way to go and she shows you what a space saver it can be too!
