Meet Lisa Mason Ziegler

What began as a small cut-flower farm producing for local markets has grown into so much more. Lisa has become a leader in the cut-flower growing industry, author, accomplished speaker, teacher, and the owner of The Gardener’s Workshop.

It all began in 1998 because Lisa wanted to work in her garden as her career. At first, she sold her cut flowers to local florists and Colonial Williamsburg. The business soon grew to include florist throughout the Hampton Roads region, supermarkets, farmers markets, a members-only on-farm market, and a bouquet drop-off subscription service.

During this time Lisa began giving programs to garden clubs, master gardeners, commercial growers, and other groups. What became apparent is that people were eager for her simplified organic gardening methods and her greatest gift is sharing them.

The next natural step came when Lisa self-published The Easy Cut-Flower Garden in 2011 (currently out-of-print) a 100-page guide on how-to grow and harvest a small home cutting garden. Her program travels began to spread from Texas to Oregon to New York City and she went on to become published with Cool Flowers in 2014 (St. Lynn’s Press) and Vegetables Love Flowers (Cool Springs Press 2018.)

In 2018 Lisa began creating online courses to share her programs and teachings. This style of teaching with it’s convenience, cost effectiveness, and lifetime unlimited access has proven to be another wonderful teaching tool. In 2019, embracing this technology even further and building an amazing in-house support administration team has allowed Lisa to produce online courses for others.

Lisa’s farm, known as The Gardener’s Workshop is still a small market flower farm (100% outdoor field grown), and an online garden shop. The online store sells the same seeds, tools, supplies, and seed starting equipment that Lisa uses as well as signed copies of her books.  Lisa’s simple, instructive, and delightful gardening messages are reaching far beyond any expectation she ever had.

Lisa has been a member of the Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers since 2001 and served as the Mid-Atlantic Regional Director from 2016 to 2020. She is also a member of the Garden Communicators International.

  1. Mary Bylone

    I met Lisa in person at a presentation she did in CT. Feel in love with her practical approach to our daily gardening challenges. Found this course in her website and even though I have been growing from seed for years, I thought the price was reasonable and I would enjoy refreshing my knowledge with a great presenter. Boy, I got so much more! I highly recommend this course to anyone who grows from seed or is thinking of doing it. Lots of tips. Helped me realize why I have been failing with cool flowers in the past. Can’t wait for more courses in the future!

  2. Stefanie

    I highly recommend this seed starting course. I’ve been gardening for decades and didn’t know some of the “secrets” to starting seeds. Lisa breaks everything down in simple and easy to understand steps. She is just a natural educator! I love that she actually shows you in her videos how to do it. Another bonus, this workshop is yours to reference forever! I went through the workshop again just as a refresher before my first attempt at soil blocking. Soil blocking is the most environmentally friendly way to go and she shows you what a space saver it can be too!

  3. Susan Smith

    I would never have had the courage to start flower farming without this course on seed starting ! What I love is Lisa knows just how much to teach. She knows so so much more than she teaches but like any excellent teacher she organizes and teaches just what you need to be successful. She whets your appetite for more which she handles through her full flower farming course along with her constant Q & As and live videos. You will not find a better teacher!

    My goodness! Where to start. This course and others from The Gardener’s Workshop have transformed the way I think, work, and enjoy gardening. Lisa’s style of teaching is easy, clear and doted with personal experiences that make this class a must have for not only those new to gardening but to those seasoned gardeners who want a better way to make seed starting faster with a better outcome! I guarantee you will happy you did!
