Follow your dreams with a little help from Floret
I spent the first few years learning how to grow flowers largely through trial and error. I failed way more than I succeeded and for the first few years, I really thought about quitting every single day. I spent so many hours walking circles in our tiny garage while making thousands of mixed bouquets, waiting for the day I could finally leave the farm and go learn from others. Every time a class or workshop was announced my heart would ache because I just couldn’t afford it.
My future changed the day I got an email from one of my floral heroes, offering me a slot at an upcoming workshop. Having someone who I admired so deeply believe in me helped me believe in myself. That act of generosity felt like getting permission to finally go after all of the dreams that I had put on hold for so long.
I have tried my best to infuse her generous legacy into everything we do and our scholarship program is my very favorite way of paying it forward.

Ashlee’s Story
Ashlee founded Brown Girl Farms with the belief that Black, queer female farmers deserve more representation and celebration in agriculture. In addition to a CSA, the farm grows and sells flowers to a local Black-owned cooperative grocery store.
After taking Floret’s Flower Farming Workshop, Ashlee transformed and expanded the flower field at Brown Girl Farms so that they could provide even more bouquets to their community. “As a black-owned farm, we use our flower bouquets to spread a message of care and love to our community and to symbolize that as black people we deserve beauty, care, and protection.”
