Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between School courses and Workshops?
Workshops vary from sixty minutes to over four hours of instruction, see individual courses for details. Each of these courses offer lots of valuable information on a specific topic that you can digest in a short amount of time and put into action right away.

Each course includes 6 modules, which each contain multiple video training sessions, instructor worksheets, and handouts, and an FAQ archive. All of the course sessions (including the FAQs) are searchable by keyword, so you can always find and go directly to the information that you need at any given time.

Nicole –
Hi there! I cannot recommend studying with Lisa enough! Over the course of the last year I purchased many of the most recommended flower growing books, all which I found a bit thin on content and requiring further research. Reading Cool Flowers was eye opening and very clear on how to plant cool season hardy annuals earlier and when to do it. I also purchased Lisa’s other book Flowers Love Vegetables and took her online seed starting course. All are superb and she generously offers many free resources, book studies, podcasts, talks to help to further clarify the content and answer questions! I wrote her company email to further clarify some misunderstanding and had the wonderful opportunity to correspond with Anne who further illuminated me and offered spectacular customer service! If I could I would offer 10 stars!

Gerry Schroeter –
Oh Lisa. Your books, course and your constant presence in all of our lives is invaluable. You have shown me how to produce an abundance of flowers using my small space for seed starting. Thank you so much for the time you spend with us and always being so helpful
Amy –
I loved this course – worth every penny! In this course I first learned about soil blocking, a super easy and economical way to start seeds. I’m a home gardener and I needed to know how to enjoy my hobby without it taking too much time and money. Also, I’m not an expert at this, so I needed clear and simple directions. Lisa is very clear, practical, and straightforward. It was easy to adapt and apply everything Lisa taught to my zone and circumstances. She doesn’t mess around with unnecessary steps, saving me time, money, and frustration, all while yielding beautiful results. Thank you, Lisa!
Lisa –
So glad it helped Amy!
