Page Text: Connecting America’s Flower Farmers & Florists
The Floral Source celebrates community, connection and confidence in U.S. floral sourcing
Not all classrooms have four walls - some of the most impactful learning occurs during multi-sensory experiences where nature and creativity meet. When we are inspired by the origins of the natural world that we use in floral design, everything changes. Building connections between floral designers and flower farmers can fundamentally pivot the direction of your business. I have built mine around collaboration and have never looked back. I know how important it is to have the confidence and knowledge to source flowers domestically. I also know that it isn’t always easy, but I can show you how. I will help you discover what I have; that our design community is stronger when we connect to each other and when we build personal relationships with the farmers that grow our flowers.
Floral designers need a modern way to source with transparency and ease. We also need to foster stronger relationships and dialogue between all the chains of sourcing - wholesaler, farmer and florist.
The Floral Source is your connection to America’s flower farmers and the flowers they grow through retreat style flower farm trips, one-on-one business mentoring for sourcing, one day farm workshop intensives and more. I want to be your resource for growing your business in a way that fits with your goals and personal ethos. The American floriculture industry needs designer support so that America’s flower farming families can thrive for generations. So much beauty grows here in all 50 states and we are only just beginning to tap into how vast and fruitful it is!
