Last year's Alaska Workshop was an experience the attendees, nor I, will ever forget...and we're doing it AGAIN!

We are returning to Alaska for 2 days full of blossoming hands-on flower fun and education, while basking in the beauty of one of the most jaw-dropping and unspoiled countrysides you will ever feast your eyes upon. Working with some of the largest, locally grown blooms you can imagine! We'll design bouquets, centerpieces and (of course) a stunning, over-the-top installation curated to highlight the beauty of the Peony! This workshop is an unforgettable mix of floral adventure and design education. Grow your floral design skills, your business, and adventure through the rugged Alaska terrain to admire all the land has to offer!

Want to take a deep-dive into your career? Get down to business (literally) with the Peony Farm Dinner add-on.

Floral Intensive Workshop - July 28 & 29, 2020 - $2,997
(Includes all flowers/tools/supplies/lunches)
 Peony Farm Dinner (*sold separately) - July 29, 2020  - $250

Workshop Hours: 10:00am - 4:00pm (Times subject to change)

VENUE:
AK Diamond J Ranch
33675 Perkins Rd
Homer AK 99603

TRAVEL:
1) Fly into Anchorage and drive to Homer. This is one of the most stunning scenic drives I have ever done. If you have the time to drive, this is my recommended route. It is a long drive, but worth every single mile! You'll weave through mountains, rivers and picturesque scenes unlike anything I have experienced in the lower 48 states. Of course, this is the most fun with a couple friends. Upon registration you will be connected with other attendees to discuss travel coordination! Renting a car in Anchorage is usually quite easy. You will want to make your reservations as early as possible as cars do book up quickly in peak season. Be sure to stop on your way out of Anchorage to see the Beluga Whales that congregate in the Bay! Keep an eye out for moose and their babies in the wooded areas alongside the road, and eagles perched on the branches overhead. If you're lucky, they will be casually enjoying their environment surrounded in beautiful blooms. The flowers are abundant in July!

2) Check the Achorage travel website for updated regulations: https://www.anchorage.net/blog/covid-19-traveler-information/.

LODGING: There are lots of great options on www.airbnb.com. However, if you want to experience the more rugged side of Alaska, we suggest staying onsite! There are cabins available at AK Diamon J Ranch. Limited number of cabins are available on a first serve basis.
