I’m in my 8th year of business, and still feel there is much to be learned. This course shows how completely true that is! Dave offers much information that I didn’t even realize I was missing- from growing freesia correctly to storing my expensive fall bulbs for the next year’s planting. He’s also quick to respond and goes into real depth when answering questions. I’m going to refer back to this course year after year- thank you Gardener’s Workshop Farm for offering such a valuable resource!
Mary T W Turner (store manager) –
This course was so worth it! Dave is knowledgeable and shares his many years of experience. Lisa put it in a platform that we can use and reuse as time goes on. I have been flower farming for 5 years and still gained many bits of information both with flowers and how to make it happen. Our group fb page helps when we have questions in our journey. Take this course, you will be glad you did!!

We have been growing veggies for 18 years and flowers for 15. I took both Dave’s and Lisa’s course this past winter and learned a lot about some new ways and flowers to plant. Some of the info i won’t be able to use now but the great thing is I can go back and reference the information when I’m ready for that next step! I highly recommend both courses!!
