At the very beginning of my floral journey, I took a course that changed everything for me. I traveled to Seattle, Washington, to learn from one of the most inspiring figures in the floral world—Erin Benzakein of Floret.
Floret’s in-person workshops no longer exist, but back then, they were a transformative experience. It wasn’t just about learning floristry; it was about complete immersion in the world of flowers—harvesting armfuls of blooms straight from Erin’s farm, working alongside industry professionals, and gaining invaluable business insights. Every moment was documented by a professional photographer, capturing the magic of our creations and the deep connections we formed.
One of the highlights? Designing an entire event tablescape from scratch. We adorned the table with lush floral centerpieces, crafted hanging installations, and styled grand entryway florals—all set against the backdrop of a beautifully prepared feast. But what truly set this course apart was the sense of community. We weren’t just there to learn; we were there to share our passion, open up about our journeys, and support one another. It was an environment filled with creativity, warmth, and the kind of inspiration that stays with you forever.
That experience didn’t just refine my floristry skills—it ignited a deeper passion in me. It made me want to cultivate my own flower farm, to create a space where others could experience the same magic I did. And now, after years of growing, learning, and perfecting my craft, I’m finally bringing that dream to life.
I’m so excited to soon offer my own immersive floral experiences—where you can harvest flowers straight from my farm, design breathtaking arrangements, and connect with like-minded creatives in a space filled with beauty, inspiration, and joy.
If you’ve ever wanted to dive deep into the art of floristry—not just learning techniques, but experiencing the full creative journey—I can’t wait to welcome you. Stay tuned, because something truly special is coming!
