Get started now!



Maybe you've read gardening books in the past, but afterward felt more overwhelmed and confused than ever! Maybe instead of inspiring you, the books made you feel paralyzed by feelings of doubt, incompetence and fear of "messing everything up".

I know exactly how you feel! I've been there.

Now I'm here you guide you along the way and teach you EXACTLY what you need to know for cut flower success, without all the confusion, overwhelm and boring stuff.

Let's be honest.

I'll be the first to admit that growing flowers is much harder than it seems! There are so many challenges when you are working in conjunction with nature and elements out of your control.

But... there ARE many strategies and practices that can greatly increase your chances of growing success. I can't wait to share my hard earned lessons and secrets that will help you avoid many costly and time consuming mistakes.

Think of this course as your "fast track" to cut flower success. Instead of years of reading, researching and struggling, you can have beautiful blooms your very first season!

In this course, you'll learn:

  • MODULE 2: Planning Your Garden
  • MODULE 3: Seed Starting 101
  • MODULE 4: Digging In: Preparing Your Garden

  • MODULE 6: Harvesting and Arranging
  • BONUS MODULE: How to Grow Dahlias
  • BONUS MODULE: Favorite Cut Flowers Deep Dive

In addition to this, you also get:


  • A 90+ page downloadable, printable workbook, packed full of growing information, reference lists and more.
  • Direct access to me through the Questions and Comments section at the end of each Module. I personally read and address every question.



"Lori, I can honestly say that your “Backyard Cutting Garden 101” gave me the confidence to jump in with both feet. Every time I doubted myself, I would watch another class and be totally reassured I was on the right path and that I could do this!

You are an amazing teacher! You taught me about the importance of great seedlings, watering, fertilizing, plant spacing, and most importantly good soil. I will forever remember to plant good foliage, filler and focal flowers. I love that you have print outs to use as a reference as well.

Thank you Lori for this amazing program, it was packed full of so much great information."

-Nicole



"Though I've gardened for several years, Backyard Cutting Garden 101 has helped me fill in the gaps of my knowledge and made me a better gardener.

As a master gardener and former teacher, Lori is an excellent instructor and presents information in a clear and concise way. The lessons on soil health and seed starting were especially helpful to me, as it put in order the scattered info I already had so that it finally made sense.

The question and answer forum was also particularly helpful. I even got some questions answered that I didn't even know I had, thanks to other people asking. I recommend this course to any beginner or self - taught gardener who wants to have beautiful flowers in their backyard.

Who this course is for:

  • Beginner gardeners

  • Backyard, small scale gardeners
  • Hobbyist or Hobby Farmers

Please note, this course will NOT cover:

  • Growing for Profit: Some of the students have graduated from hobby gardening to operating a farm business, but this course does not cover the administrative and legal responsibilities that come with growing flowers for profit.
    If you choose to grow for profit, it’s your responsibility to enroll in classes at your local Small Business Development Center, research and comply with all local, state and country/province laws, and obtain necessary licensing/insurance.
  • Large Scale Growing Information. This course is created specifically for people growing in small spaces in their backyard or community garden, with hand tools and supplies that are readily available at hardware stores and garden centers. There will be no information about growing for large scale production.


"I absolutely wish I had discovered your course at the start of last year. I’ve taken a handful of courses that were generally good, but really just scratched the surface and still left me with so many questions.

I completely appreciate how in depth you go and your attention to detail. I’ve honestly learned more useful and applicable info from your course than all the others combined.

Your tips and tricks are gold! The resources alone are what my gardening dreams are made of! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

-Morgan

I am planting a cutting garden just for fun for my friends and I to enjoy. Been gardening for years but as retirement is approaching, I wanted to start a cutting garden and keep my brain stimulated. So thank you, thank you."

Lori Hernandez

In 2006, Lori left her Art Education career to become a stay at home mother. About that time, she was bitten by the "gardening bug" and her life has never been the same.

What started as a hobby to battle seasonal depression (Michigan winters are looooonng and cold!) slowly transformed into a lifestyle and occupation.

Lori started Three Acre Farm in 2017 as a way to invite others to experience the healing and restorative power of flowers.

She finds endless hope, inspiration and encouragement from tending plants, and watching them flourish. The joy and satisfaction is priceless and she can't wait to share this feeling with you.

Lori focuses her energy on all things bright and beautiful and has made it her mission in life to help other do the same.






"Anyone on the fence about this class? I was, but I decided to take it and was happy I did! Learned so many details I hadn’t thought about even though I’m an experienced gardener.

It’s obvious Lori was an educator (art actually) because her presentations were clearly organized and well thought out. Most importantly, she answered all of my questions throughout the growing season."
