Day as a Flower Farmer
"The love of gardening is a seed once sown that never dies." - Gertrude Jekyll
Be a flower Farmer
Join us at the Potted Blossom Flower Field, where nature and community thrive together! In this flower farmer workshop, you'll trade screen time for green time. Once a month, we’ll gather to learn essential basics to growing flowers like soil health, growing from seed, and prime time to harvest flowers. Immersive workshop will nurture both your gardening skills and connections with others!
See nature up close
Flower Farmer Day at the Potted Blossom is both immensely rewarding and challenging. With no shortage of tasks, from planting seeds to harvesting blooms, you'll experience the entire journey from seed to vase. Join us to learn all the ins and outs of growing your own flowers that thrive.
You'll also discover how to care for your blooms after harvesting and how to grow vibrant flowers through effective watering and pest management.
Take it with you
As our honorary flower farmers we invite you to curate your own personalized bouquet from our vibrant fields after every Flower Farmer Day. This custom floral arrangement serves as a fragrant reminder of your invaluable efforts and allows you to bring a piece of nature into your home.

Day as a Flower Farmer FAQ
What time of day are flower farmer hours?
We will try to do flower farming on Saturdays but occasionally they will be done on other days due schedules and rising summer temps. The hours will rotate between morning or evening times. If you wish to come out more than once a month we can arrange a time.
We would love to have you on the farm as often as you can.
Do I have to come to every Flower Farmer Day?
No, you do not have to come to every Flower Farmer Day. We would love to have you come and learn all you can to help your flowers thrive but we understand that sometimes it can be hard to balance schedules.
What kind of activities are done on a Flower Farmer Day?
While we will have time for the more glamorous part of flower farming many activities we do are less instagram worthy then harvesting bunches of flowers. Each day will have something different but some activities will include learning the importance of weed management, why mulching plants can be important, direct planting seeding vs indoor planting, dead heading, why releasing beneficial bugs can help, and in what ways we can meet all the different needs of the individual plants.
What should I wear?
The Potted Blossom is a working flower farm. Please wear closed toed shoes. We also recommend wearing light fabrics to protect from the heat and sun. While you can wear shorts, depending on the time of day we do have very friendly mosquitos and we recommend wearing pants.
What should I bring?
We will provide water and snacks and you are welcome to bring additional drinks and snacks. You will need to bring your signed Potted Blossom Flower Farmer Release Form.
A few other things we recommend you bring are:
-Sunscreen
