OVERVIEW: Opening fields of flowers—ready for cutting—prompts excitement, no matter where you are. But is adding a U-Pick option the right move for your flower-growing operation?
Join us as we present our free webinar, U-Pick Power for Your Flower Farm, in partnership with Debra Prinzing of Slow Flowers Society. We'll discuss best practices with our guest farmers from Grateful Gardeners and Floraponics of Maryland and Dahlia May Farm of Ontario, including such topics as when and how to make a plan, pitfalls or drawbacks to consider, choosing the best crops, balancing benefits against the extra work and liability, approach to pricing, and more.
A Q&A session will take place after the presentation, during which our presenters and guest farmers will respond to questions from the audience. Register today!
