The Blume Retreat is three unforgettable days immersed in flowers, creativity, business and connection.

Bringing together hands on learning and real world experience, we share the successes, mistakes and lessons we’ve learnt building a flower farm and creative business.

"I am absolutely overflowing with excitement"
I don't even have the words to describe how l'm feeling.
I feel terrified because you've given me all the right tools and support to make my business thrive, I now have no excuses. Which is scary, but also such an incredible feeling.
I learnt so much and just felt so much love and support the entire time. And then the dahlias, my goodness, thank you!! I cried a lot on the way home, all happy tears!

"Blume was 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.
Blume 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.

"It was far more than 3 days of flower farming"
I'm so grateful you, Rob and Luke, so openly shared your passion and knowledge in your respected 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 hav 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 dimmed.
- Sara, Blume 2024
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart"

Attending Bloom was a turning point for me, l've learned so much, and now I feel 100% confident about my path. I'm excited and clear about my future working with flowers growing them and creating beautiful florals for events and weddings.
Your guidance and inspiration have made such a difference, and I'm so grateful our paths crossed. Thank you so much Katie and Rob x

"I will be forever grateful"
Katie 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.
I will be forever grateful to the team for giving me the courage to push forward with our business goals & dreams!
