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’s course was awesome! We were in the middle of the pandemic mess, sessions were super packed with unparralled info and knowledge. Jenny is a wonderful treacher able to transfer her enormous knowledge in a very sharp and comprehensive way! The weekly Q&A sessions were super helpful to navigate the process and to have all (I mean ALL) questions anwered. It’s now 6 months after the class and I already saved so much $ (and mental health) with what I learned. Thanks so much Jenny!

I am so happy I found Jennie’s course! I started off as a certified florist and started growing flowers a few years ago. I wanted to learn how to tie these two passions together and boy did I. I’ve learned so much Valuable information about how to step up my business and offer my own flowers. If you are on the fence about enrolling take the leap and invest in yourself and your business. You won’t regret it!

As part of any business plan, I had to figure out which way to take my flower farm/business. After the first few modules with Jennie, I knew I had found the place where my interests met my capabilities and they met a unfilled need in my surrounding area. Jennie taught us what we needed to know to take the leap into wedding and event work. Kudos to her for her forsight and knowledge and sharing it with us. Great class. I watch/listen to it often to refresh what I learned.

I am so thankful I came across this course. When I began to grow flowers several years ago I had ordered hundreds of dollars in seed waiting for Spring to arrive. I had read a lot of cut-flower books and I even have a degree in agriculture BUT was so thankful to have read Cool Flowers with two weeks to spare to Fall plant my seeds. I had a completely profitable first Spring because of Lisa’s book, Cool Flowers that if I had neglected to read it even just a few weeks later the first year would have been a complete failure. I had the exact same benefit from this course. I had a bride approach me about wedding flowers, I had no clue how to price, what to say/not to say/how to say it. I knew I could grow them but I didn’t have the knowledge of how the wedding and events business worked. I signed up for the course and I am so thankful I did. I was able to book the bride and designed my first non-family wedding last weekend! It was beautiful and I have already had another bride contact and pay for a wedding later in the summer. I will forever be grateful for the time Jennie poured into the video, live Q&A, and even today she still shares information that is so helpful for all of us to create a sustainable business that honors the floral industry!
