Gather and Grow, presented by Fields of Plenty Farm
Adults / Adult Education -
2025
Join us for a hands-on floral experience at the heart of our working farm! Gather & Grow is not only a flower arranging experince—it's a celebration of nature, beauty, and community as we come together to learn what the land can provide for us and how we take care of the land in return.
Begin your morning with a guided tour of Fields of Plenty Farm, where you’ll learn about our sustainable growing practices of both food and flowers, opportunities to experience Fields of Plenty, and how we care for the land that brings these blooms to life. Then, head into the field to hand-pick your own flowers, learning what to look for—from stem strength to bloom stage—to create a bouquet that’s both vibrant and long-lasting. You will then take your arrangement home with you to share with your loved ones.
Under the guidance of Joelle, owner and operator of Fields of Plenty Farm, you’ll discover the art of local flower production and arrangement: growing cycles, color pairing, anatomy, structure, balance, and vase life. By the end of class, you'll take home a stunning, hand-crafted bouquet that’s uniquely yours.
Don’t forget to explore our charming farm stand, filled with seasonal produce, artisan bread, fresh flowers, and a curated selection of local goods—perfect for turning your day on the farm into a full-sensory experience.
Come ready to smile with others, spend time in the great outdoors, and leave with your hands (and heart) full.

Howdy!
My name is Joelle Liddane. I own and run Fields of Plenty Farm in Rice, MN along with the help of my boyfriend Austin, who lifts heavy stuff when I can't. :)
We are small town farmers growing fresh blooms and food for your table and providing magical experiences for your memories. We get to grow and sell food, flowers and experiences to nourish bodies, minds, and souls. Our mission is to grow specialty crops that serve our local community through delightful floral experiences along with nutritional dense foods. I am an agricultural educator by training so I am very familiar with teaching a variety of knowledge levels. This class is for all knowledge and experience levels. Whether you are a Master Gardener or you have never even grown a plant, you are welcome!
We are excited to have you visit our working farm to learn, share laughs, and be reminded of how beautiful living things are.
