Meet Lisa

What began as a small cut-flower farm producing for local markets has grown into so much more. Lisa has become a leader in the cut-flower growing industry, author, accomplished speaker, teacher, and the owner of The Gardener’s Workshop.

It all began in 1998 because Lisa wanted to work in her garden as her career. At first, she sold her cut flowers to local florists and Colonial Williamsburg. The business soon grew to include florists throughout the Hampton Roads region, supermarkets, farmers markets, a members-only on-farm market, and a bouquet drop-off subscription service.

During this time Lisa began giving programs to garden clubs, master gardeners, commercial growers, and other groups. What became apparent is that people were eager for her simplified organic gardening methods and her greatest gift is sharing them.

The next natural step came when Lisa self-published The Easy Cut-Flower Garden in 2011 (currently out-of-print) a 100-page guide on how to grow and harvest a small home cutting garden. Her program travels began to spread from Texas to Oregon to New York City and she went on to become published with Cool Flowers in 2014 (St. Lynn’s Press) and Vegetables Love Flowers (Cool Springs Press 2018.)

In 2018 Lisa began creating online courses to share her programs and teachings. This style of teaching with its convenience, cost-effectiveness, and lifetime unlimited access has proven to be another wonderful teaching tool. In 2019, embracing this technology even further and building an amazing in-house support administration team has allowed Lisa to produce online courses for others.

Lisa’s farm, known as The Gardener’s Workshop is still a small market flower farm (100% outdoor field grown), and an online garden shop. The online store sells the same seeds, tools, supplies, and seed starting equipment that Lisa uses as well as signed copies of her books.  Lisa’s simple, instructive, and delightful gardening messages are reaching far beyond any expectation she ever had.

Lisa has been a member of the Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers since 2001 and served as the Mid-Atlantic Regional Director from 2016 to 2020. She is also a member of Garden Communicators International.

Lisa Mason Ziegler’s Books and Online Courses:

Molly Fay Flower Farm 

We took Lisa’s course in 2018 as we were starting our farm. She imparts so much practical knowledge in easy to understand slides and videos. And unlike other courses, the support Lisa provides after the course is absolutely invaluable. She really cares about your success!

Julie G. 

My only regret is not taking her class sooner! Lisa is a rockstar. She doesn’t mince words and she shares not only her successes but her mistakes too. She is approachable and responsive to her students. Accessibility is important folks. Lisa makes the learning process of flower farming fun and she covers it all. She cares about her students and continues to check in on her facebook page with students long after the workshop ends. The knowledge, expertise and tips were mucho appreciated.

As a 2nd year Flower Farmer I was amazed at how much new information I gained from Lisa’s course! I love the fact that I can go back and reference all of the class info at any time. Well worth the cost! If you are a newbie or somewhat experienced gardener, you won’t be disappointed. Thumbs up all the way!!

Melisa Gordon
