A Visit to a Local Flower Farm

I say this in class a lot, but getting to know your suppliers is so important! Today I took a field trip to visit one of my new flower suppliers, Flor Daninha, in Sintra. Mariana runs a very special, regenerative flower farm that has been in her family for a long time.

Chickens run wild and the farm sits under the shadows of castles. Sintra is a very special microclimate so it is a particularly good place to grow as it gets a lot of rain and rarely goes to freezing. The quality of the flowers is superb.

If you want to learn how to find your own local suppliers, come to my free workshop, all about flower sourcing! Book your spot here.

P.S.

We will be visiting some flower farms on our 2022 retreats in Portugal. Sign up here to get on the waitlist.
