The Virginia Cut Flower Conference brings together growers, florists, educators, and industry professionals for two days of education, collaboration, and networking. Designed for both new and experienced growers, the conference offers practical, research-based information on the production of annuals, bulbs, perennials, foliage and grasses, and woody cut flowers. Attendees will explore topics such as production best practices, enterprise budgeting and cost analysis, marketing strategies, and selling techniques through engaging presentations, workshops, and panel discussions.

Beyond the educational sessions, the conference provides valuable opportunities to connect with fellow flower farmers, cooperative growers, florists, and industry partners from across Virginia. Join us to learn, share ideas, build relationships, and leave inspired with new knowledge and practical tools to help your cut flower business thrive.
