In this week's gardening blog post I talk about starting Floret Flower Farm's Flower Farming Workshop. I'm deep into week 1, and trying to keep up before week 2 starts on Saturday, this workshop has been absolutely amazing so far.

My fedex package has arrived containing my course work for Floret’s Flower Farm workshop. I’m so excited to be studying online with them for six weeks in January 2026.

This has been a dream I’ve wanted to do for years. #floret #gardening #nzgarden #garden

In this week's blog post, I've profiled a number of Floret Bee's Choice dahlias that I grew from seed in October last year.

I'm so excited, three of my Floret Bee's Choice dahlias are about to flower 🤩

I don't know what colours they will be, or what type of dahlias they are, it's just like unwrapping a Christmas present.

This week's blog post is all about seed sowing my Floret zinnia and dahlia varieties. They're already growing quite strong.
