Lovely words from our gorgeous floral community
It felt like such a safe space to share my ambitions, without any pressure to necessarily achieve them, but I felt I had a cheer squad behind me as I worked on the goals behind the scenes over the season of Winter. I can't wait to dive into another session this Spring. The fact that it is a one time investment for ongoing seasonal support was the icing on the cake for me.

I truly want to say how thankful I am for all the support and tips that have been such a benefit to me and my business.
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU.

The skills and knowledge shared by Nadine not just on the day, but the ongoing support and check-ins has made the whole experience a really positive one.
The day gave me the confidence to really practice sustainability in my shop.
