Amberly ~ Bloom 2024
I was lucky enough to attend the first ever Bloom retreat hosted by Katie and Rob at Little Lyndoch Flower Farm. To say I loved it is an understatement. Katie and her team were so warm, friendly and open with all things business, floristry and flower farming. No stone was left unturned, Katie had thoughtfully considered everything from the content to the, experiences, accommodation, and food, it was all exceptional. The nurtured a sharing environment saw all the attendees quickly become at ease as a group and form unique bonds. I walk away from the retreat with new friends, industry connections, a wealth of new knowledge, and most of all feeling rejuvenated and inspired moving forward.
Lauren ~ Bloom 2024
Bloom Retreat hosted by Katie and Rob from Little Lyndoch Flower Farm, was absolutely unforgettable! Over three days, I dived into flower farming and floral design, learned skills for building a business and using social media and many other insights from some amazing people.
Bloom Retreat left me inspired and equipped with new skills to start my own journey. My heartfelt thanks to the whole team for a truly memorable experience. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur in the flower industry or just seeking creative inspiration, Bloom Retreat is a must!
I am forever grateful.
Rebecca ~ Bloom 2024
Bloom! is a feast for the eyes and food for the soul. The knowledge and skills imparted for starting your own business are immeasurable. Katie and her team are amazing professionals that treat you like family. I have left the retreat with a happy heart having made lifelong friends, together with the confidence to grow into the next chapter of my story!
Sara ~ Bloom 2024
It was far more than 3 educational days of flower farming, floristry, social media, and business with a side of amazing food! I'm so grateful you, Rob, and Luke, so openly shared your passion and knowledge in your respective areas. It had been some time since I had been around people with such infectious enthusiasm and positive energy. It is truly contagious. I appreciate you sharing your story because in doing so, you have inspired me to continue to create and strive for a meaningful and fulfilling life for myself, instead of letting my fear and doubt get in the way. It takes generous and special people to have an impact and create a safe space where people can be vulnerable enough to experience and shift in their mindset. You, your team, and all the attendees created that space for me, and in doing so, stocked and reignited my delicate flame of self belief; which over the years had been dimed.
Tracey ~ Bloom 2024
I was very lucky to be able to attend the first ever Bloom Retreat at Little Lyndoch Flower Farm in March 2024. Katie, Rob & their team were the perfect hosts & had thought of every little detail, from the special gifts we received, the food, the accommodation & particularly the course content.
Katie is a fantastic trainer, how could you not learn something of value from her. She has a knack for explaining things so that everybody understands, her enthusiasm & positivity are contagious, she thinks outside the box & she is an open book, with nothing off limits, & is willing to share her wealth of knowledge & experience with others.
Because of Katie & Luke's encouragement & training, I have had the courage to continue creating social media content for our cut flower farm business since my return from Bloom, something I previously lacked confidence in doing. I will be forever grateful to the team for giving me the courage to push forward with our business goals & dreams!
Chloe ~ Bloom 2024
Bloom an experience like no other, Wow what a weekend filled with so many memories that I will truly hold forever apart of my floral journey. I feel so blessed and grateful that I took this opportunity to have this weekend with so many like minded people and to hear and Katie and Robs testimony and journey of not only flower farming but floristry, there is so many things I could put into words of this experience at BLOOM, but do one better and book that ticket and attend this wonderful weekend, the experience is one in a life time and I highly recommend.
Thank you so much to Katie and Rob you truly are such beautiful people and Iām grateful to have such people in my circle of not only floristry business but friends.
