Rooted Retreats
Rooted Retreats are immersive, soul-nourishing experiences designed to reconnect people with the land, themselves, and each other. Held on our working homestead, these seasonal gatherings offer a blend of hands-on workshops and holistic practices, ranging from flower arranging and holiday crafting to harvesting traditions that honor the seasons and sustain the land alongside vision boarding, yoga, and sound baths.
We open our homestead to share the beauty and wisdom of holistic, regenerative living. Each gathering invites you to slow down, create with intention, and learn time-honored skills such as mindful harvesting, preserving the bounty, and giving back to the soil that foster resilience, stewardship, and sustenance. Rooted in simplicity and guided by nature’s rhythms, our retreats are a space to grow, heal, and belong.
Grow a Backyard Cutting Garden
There is something deeply special about stepping outside your door and gathering flowers you grew yourself. A simple handful of blooms from the garden can brighten a kitchen table, be shared with a friend, or become a quiet moment of beauty in your day.
In this workshop, I’ll be sharing the same simple methods I use here on the farm to grow flowers for our home and community. You’ll learn how to design a small backyard cutting garden that provides armfuls of blooms throughout the growing season — whether you have a dedicated garden bed or just a few containers.
We’ll discuss the flowers I grow year after year, along with a few that I’ve learned to pass on. My hope is that you leave feeling confident, inspired, and excited to grow flowers that bring beauty into your everyday life.
During our time together, we will explore:
• How to design a small backyard cutting garden that is both beautiful and productive
• My favorite flowers to grow for bouquets, as well as a few flowers that I personally skip
• When and how to plant different types of flowers throughout the spring season
• The difference between direct sowing seeds and transplanting starts
• How to successfully transplant young flowers into garden beds or containers
• Which flowers benefit from pinching to encourage more blooms
• Which varieties need staking or support as they grow
• Simple ways to keep flowers blooming longer throughout the season
Together we will also spend time planting. You will create your own cutting garden seed tray, filled with a selection of beautiful, beginner-friendly flowers. You’ll take this tray home along with guidance on how to care for the seedlings and when to transplant them into your garden.
This workshop is perfect for beginners, home gardeners, or anyone who has dreamed of growing their own flowers but isn’t quite sure where to start.

Spots are intentionally limited so that everyone has space to ask questions and learn in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
Come spend a spring morning at the farm learning how to grow flowers that will bring beauty to your home all summer long.
I also love that there are opportunities to be a pupil of Bryanna’s as a mother when she offers her workshops on her farm for adults. It is such a coming back to myself experience while my hands are free to create and see what comes while the space is held so beautifully by Bryanna’s presence and guidance.
