Scholarships

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.

Since hosting our very first on-farm workshop in 2013, we’ve awarded hundreds of full and partial scholarships to individuals and organizations all around the world. Scholarship winners from diverse backgrounds and circumstances have taken what they’ve learned from the workshop to achieve their goals and give back to their communities in big ways and small.  

We accepted applications for our 2027 Flower Farming Workshop class from September 22–29, 2026. Winners will be notified by email and announced on the website on October 14.
