Calling all flower farmers!! This is the perfect way to kick off the Kruse Flower Show and fully immerse yourself in the beauty, creativity, and community of the weekend. If you’re serious about raising the bar on your blooms, don’t miss this session! Stay tuned for more workshop opportunities!!
🌼 Flower Farmers — This One’s For You! 🌼
We are thrilled to welcome Vivian Larson, contributing author of Floral Standards, to speak at the Kruse Flower Show!
If you grow flowers — whether 100 stems or 10,000 — this book (and this class!) is a game changer.
I purchased Floral Standards last spring, and it has quickly become one of my most-used resources. I constantly grab it to reference the hundreds of plants featured — including my main crop, dahlias 🌸 It includes step-by-step bloom stage photos, clear grading guidance, vase life expectations, post-harvest care tips, and practical standards that help you sell with confidence. It has truly been an invaluable resource for me.
📅 Vivian’s class will take place March 28 at 2:15 PM. She’ll be sharing how these standards can elevate your farm, improve consistency, and strengthen relationships with designers and customers.
✨ Want a chance to connect with Vivian in a more personal setting? Join us at the Garden Party Reception, an intimate evening exclusive to a limited number of ticket holders. Not only will you have the opportunity to chat one-on-one with Vivian, but you’ll also enjoy first access to shop our vendors — all while sipping signature drinks, savoring hors d’oeuvres, and listening to live music. It’s the perfect way to kick off the Kruse Flower Show and fully immerse yourself in the beauty, creativity, and community of the weekend.
If you’re serious about raising the bar on your blooms, don’t miss this session.
And if you can’t attend, I highly recommend adding Floral Standards to your resource library through the Seattle Growers Market website.
