Flower + Garden Retreat 2nd Edition
May 26, 2023We had a super lovely FLOWER AND GARDEN RETREAT at the beginning of May! You can read some details over on Instagram but I wanted to share here on the blog as well. The week was rich and full of learning about flower farming, organic farms, flower arranging, native flora, foraging, wild edibles, formal Portuguese gardens and palaces, visiting secret garden gems in the city, and more. All while snacking and enjoying beautiful garden-fresh and homemade Portuguese food. Take a look below to enjoy some of the details of our experience.
There’s so much more! A seafood fest! A planting and propagation workshop! Pressing flowers! Adventures at palaces and more! I don’t like to share every single detail online because these experiences are really for in-person and there’s no way I could fully express the depth of this experience in a blog post. We have one more retreat this year (next week!). If you’d like to join us next year, you can take a look at our dates and itinerary for 2024 if an intensive flower school experience is more your speed, check out our floral career retreat.
A special thank you to our collaborators on our retreat!
