Meet Jennie Love
Owner and Creative Director of Love ‘n Fresh Flowers in Philadelphia, Jennie Love is a professionally-trained floriculturist and life-long farmer. Leaving behind an earlier career in corporate marketing, Jennie took up urban flower farming in 2008 and launched her bustling event design studio in 2009. A charismatic and passionate entrepreneur, Jennie found her natural niche crafting sustainable wedding designs using her own farm’s flowers. Arguably the foremost farmer-florist in the industry today, she has flowered more than 800 weddings and numerous other special events in the past decade.
Jennie has been featured in the New York Times, Martha Stewart Weddings, Brides Magazine, The Knot, and the Philadelphia Inquirer for her seed-to-centerpiece efforts. She was named one of the top wedding florists in the nation by Martha Stewart. In addition to weddings, her distinctively lush and textural floral designs have been used in numerous photo shoots, magazines, style blogs, and books. Jennie has hosted hundreds of workshops and master classes at her farm as well as traveling across the U.S. and Canada to teach. She served for nine years on the leadership board of the international Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers, including three years as president.
She is the host of the popular flower farming podcast, No-Till Flowers. In 2022, she launched the Regenerative Flower Farmers Network that has over 1,000 members worldwide today.
On a petite, but highly productive, five-acre farm in Philadelphia, Jennie runs a profitable floral business that fully supports herself and four+ employees each season. She has built her farm from the ground up, one hundred percent on her own initiative, over the past 15 years, using weddings and workshops as the main revenue source. In her courses, you’ll learn how she did it.

Jenny – Eastview Gardens –
I am a flower farmer expanding into wedding work with confidence and Jennie’s course did not disappoint! She is knowledgeable, down to earth, approachable, and is willing to share all the details for success. I am beyond grateful to have the info in this course to keep coming back to as I figure out my own path. Thank you!!
Christine Dutton –
Jennie so generously shares her vast knowledge of flower farming and how to run a successful farmer florist operation. In this course, she shares everything from contracts to what specific flowers you should grow for weddings. Her knowledge and expertise has contributed greatly to the success and growth of our little flower farm. If you’re a flower farmer thinking about dipping your toes in the event world or even a seasoned farmer florist looking to up your game, this is the course for you! It is filled to the max with helpful information and we constantly find ourselves revisiting the content over and over again.

Jennie is amazing…a totally open book – full of information that it would take you years to figure out on your own. This class has helped me structure my business and move forward with a plan. She is inspiring, real and shoots from the hip. She’s “that kind of smart” that the rest of us can only aspire to. I could not recommend this class more! TAKE THE CLASS.
