Darlene Cullen (store manager) –
Took the course this winter. Was great and I learned so much! Worth the cost. You won’t be disappointed. Love the Class FB page for any questions that come up after. Dave is very responsive to any/all questions.
All of the TGW courses are full of good information for new and even not so new flower farmers/growers. Look forward to more courses!
Rick Walker (store manager) –
Great course. Dave explained everything so that even a rookie like me understood what he was teaching. I will continue to monitor the course for updates. Thanks Dave Dowling and Lisa Mason Ziegler for helping us all become better flower farmers.
Shelia Ball Walls (store manager) –
I took both classes this past year. I was afraid I might be wasting my money. I have been a home gardener for 25 years and know a lot about flowers and plants and growing conditions in the landscape. However, I learned quickly that is not the same as flower Farming! Lisa and Dave both have a wealth of knowledge that have been extremely helpful to me to get started in cut flower production. I also love that I can go back and listen to different parts of a course to refresh my memory! You will learn to work smarter and plan better from these courses!

As a recent “graduate” of Lisa’s Online Flower Farming School, we knew an investment in Dave Dowling’s Advanced Flower Farming School was a must! As second year commercial flower farmers we knew we needed to invest in perennial crops, bulbs and plan for long term but we had no idea where to begin. After sitting through Dave’s class we felt like we had a road map and a business plan to build a profitable business to get growing for four seasons as a flower farm.
