Beginner Flower Farmer Workshop
"Up until that point, I had been gathering research and information from dozens of sources as I planned out my flower farming business. What Liz did was to provide a guiding light to help navigate the overwhelming amount of information out there. She provided answers to my (many) questions, tons of tried and true resources and recommendations, an opportunity to meet and build relationships with other flower farmers, and most of all, a long term help line as I work through getting my business up and running. She is a complete open book and from the moment I met her, I knew she wanted me to be successful in my own endeavors. She made herself completely available to me even before I committed to the workshop. And she's been so responsive to my questions - a mentor from day one. I couldn't be happier that I found Liz and attended this workshop!" Sarah
