This class was wonderful! Lisa and her team are so supportive and available for you throughout your flower journey. She doesn’t leave your floundering after the class is over.
I love that I can go back and watch the videos over and over. This program has given me enough confidence to start flower farming on a small scale and I am looking forward to a journey that feeds my soul!

Thank you for Flower Farming School online. I completed your course in December. I was very moved by your openness and willingness to share about your experiences. It is evident you genuinely care about helping others be successful farmers.
Your straightforward teaching style and your videos are very effective. I appreciate your expectation for flower farmers to act as professionals at all times. I started the course thinking it was expensive – and ended the course knowing it was a bargain. Thank you for being a blessing to so many!
With deep gratefulness,
Patricia Montgomery—aspiring farmer florist

If you are not sure, how to fullfill your dream of flower farming, if you are not confident enough to start this adventure because you have so many questions and lack of knowledge and if you think you are not a business person and are afraid of selling procedures then this is definitely the right course. Lisa with her course provided me with everything I´ll need, from knowledge to confidence and practical expertise. The way she teaches is terrific as everything is based on a long experience including the improvements she made over the years. I sometimes had pity for her, as she never got tired to answer the same questions over and over again. Attending the course from Europe, I only missed the live Q&A but it was no disadvantage as I could watch the replay. All in all, I loved the course!
