What’s the Pro Platform for Flower Growers?

Pro Plan is a behind the scenes look at the plants, processes, and tools that help us run our operation efficiently. This plan provides easy to consume, but informative videos and posts with the kind of information that just isn’t easy to find. The program is $2.74/ week, available as monthly or yearly payments. Read on for details, sample topics, and a list of the 10 subjects and videos covered this month!

Sample topics:

Want to ship wholesale flowers to florists?

• We show you how we prepare professional, custom branded packaging, how to set up the proper accounts for discounted overnight shipping rates, how to share shipping estimates with customers, how to list your products and invoice buyers efficiently, and more.

Wish you had an easy, hands free way to design beautiful, low stress wedding bouquets?

• Let me show you exactly how I do it and how approaching bouquet building with a business mindset has helped me streamline my workflow and develop teachable methods that I can share with others, and lighten my design load.

Looking for a non-wilting perennial greenery that you can use all season long?

• We share our favorite and most profitable crops for floral design work, where to source plants and seeds, and how to cultivate them.

Interested in soil health and bed preparation?

• On our farm, we employ several different kinds of bed design and preparation, including Hügelkultur beds, no till/heavy compost beds, and traditional tillage. Learn how these different methods work for us and which crops we dedicate to each.

Want to know how to grow a plant with more intention than the surface level flower farming courses?

• Have you wondered which fertilizer to use and when and how to apply it? What size pots to buy and from where? What temperatures to achieve and why? Which pests to watch out for and how to deal with them. We share concrete scientific information in an easy to digest way, with videos that bring you right into our operation.

  Pro Plan is for people who want to dig in and learn how things work so they can make improvements to their operations; be it simple, clever, homemade solutions and updates to workflows or more substantial investments.

Members say:

You have totally nailed this info and the entire Pro Plan access for me and I am a huge, huge fan of the breadth of the subjects you are covering. I was thinking after I went through Floret's course and a few others that I wished I had the exact information you are giving as my next steps. You break things down in very clear, concise ways, which I appreciate greatly. I am so dang grateful to have found you, Linda. I enjoyed our first consultation last winter and have been diligently applying your suggestions while playing whack-a-mole with ALL THE THINGS about starting a farm. Cheers! -Vanessa

I love these videos and learning about plants and processes that I might not otherwise consider. The way things are explained are easy to understand and interesting. Thank you! -Sara

All of your content is very valuable to me and a fun way to learn! I've taken other courses and subscribed to one other IG flower farmer at a lower price point and this along your tulip workshop course content far exceeds anything I've experienced both in content and follow up access. It is wonderful to be able to ask questions and get responses - I honestly don't know how you do it but thank you! -Laura

I haven’t been in the group long, but I really like that I can ask questions. I always want to ask experienced growers questions, but know it takes time/their resources/knowledge to answer for free. This platform allows me to ask the questions and pay you for the answers, which I feel good about. I also like the short clips and tid bits of info. Big, long class formats do of work for me. Being able to search for what I am looking for and watch the video has been great. -Carrie

I have found this membership to be outstanding. Linda is a wonderful speaker and has a lovely disposition. Any time I have asked a question the response has been prompt. -Nancy
