Our Workshops offer hands-on, creative experiences right on the farm. These events are designed for visitors who want to try something new, make something beautiful, and spend time outdoors with others.
Our efforts in promoting flowers and community engagement have been featured in local media, including a story in the Mountain Times about how flowers grown at Springhouse Farm are showcased. Whether you bring a friend or come on your own, these gatherings provide a relaxed, creative afternoon surrounded by the beauty of Springhouse Farm.
