CLASS OF 2021 FAQ
Yes! You have lifetime access to the workshop videos and the learning community will remain open so that you can continue to connect and share with other workshop students and alumni long after the conclusion of the six-week workshop. The Floret Support Team will be less active in the learning community, however, as they need to turn their attention back to their own farms and other projects.
Yes! As an alumni member, you will be invited to join us for the 2022 Floret Online Workshop. You'll also be able to access to all of the new videos and course book additions we create.
At the bottom of most Modules is a "Downloads" section that includes PDF documents that you can download and print. Please note: this information is already included in your course book and not all pages of the book are available as PDFs. We included digital versions of select pages that are useful to print and use year after year.
You can find the seed sowing spreadsheet and plants per bed calculator in the Module 2 Downloads section. Note: the spreadsheet is an Excel file which can be opened and modified within Excel (a Microsoft program you must have loaded on your desktop; we don't advise trying to use it on a cell phone or mobile device). The spreadsheet will not work properly using Numbers. Some students have opened the file and imported it using Google Sheets, however we have not tested it to ensure that all formulas are carried over when switching platforms.
The homework assignments are optional activities for you to complete at your own pace and are not collected by Floret. Some students from the class of 2021 have shared their vision boards within the Floret Learning Community. If you'd like to share your vision board, you may upload it as a comment to one of the existing threads.
Sorry, but we are not able to offer a separate sale of seeds to workshop students at this time. All Floret Seeds listed as sold out will not be restocked this season. Please refer to our list of favorite seed sources where you can find some other great suppliers.
We shipped course books to students who live outside of North America in late November and all others shipped in late December. Your shipping notification email includes a tracking number which provides an estimated date of arrival for your package. If you placed a course book order and have not received it yet or if you are unsure if you placed an order please contact [email protected].
Please watch our Learning Community Orientation video and download the checklist to learn how to access your account, create your profile, and update your settings.
Sometimes Chrome will auto-fill the "new password" field when you are in the workshop settings. If that happens, simply delete what is auto-filled (this typically appears as dots), complete the rest of the settings, and then click "save." (watch minute 4:48 in the Orientation video). If that doesn't work, try clearing your browser cache and cookies or try updating your profile settings in a different browser, such as Safari.
If you cannot remember your workshop password, simply hit "Forgot password" on the Login Page and the system will send you an email to reset it.
Please contact [email protected] so we can update your account across all Floret platforms.
You can view posts organized by topic in the Topics tab. In the Feed tab, you can view all posts, regardless of topic. All new posts and any past posts with new comments or replies will be "bumped" to the top of the feed. Floret will sometimes "pin" posts to the top of the feed to be sure that students see them first. Scroll down the feed to see new posts that may have been added recently, but that have not been pinned or do not have new comments and replies.
Use the search bar to search by a word used in your post or comment (if you mentioned your town, for example, search by the name of your town). Unfortunately, the search function doesn't allow you to search by student names unless the name was included within the text of the post. For any posts that you want to reference in the future, we recommend that you use the "Copy Link to Post" feature and maintain your own list of favorite posts in a separate document. You can find the "Copy Link to Post" option by clicking the three vertical dots in the upper right hand corner of each post when using a desktop.
The yellow star will automatically appear on any post that you comment on or create. The star is used to turn off/on notifications about individual posts you created or commented on, BUT ONLY IF your account settings are set up to send you notifications for all replies to posts and comments (this setting is NOT recommended).
It is not possible to receive email notifications on posts if you did not create them or comment on them, regardless of your account notification settings.
For any posts that you want to reference in the future, we recommend that you use the "Copy Link to Post" feature and maintain your own list of favorite posts in a separate document. You can find the "Copy Link to Post" option by clicking the three vertical dots in the upper right hand corner of each post when using a desktop.
Reminder: If you followed our instructions to update your account settings in the Learning Community Orientation video, you will receive email notifications only if you are tagged/mentioned in posts or comments. If you did not follow our instructions for adjusting the account settings, you will receive email notifications for each and every reply to your posts and comments, which can be overwhelming in our large community group. As a reminder, you can adjust your account settings by clicking on your avatar (desktop) or "hamburger" menu (mobile)--> Settings--> Profile Settings --> "uncheck" the box next to: "Please notify me when a reply to one of my posts or comments is created." (this setting is recommended).

1) Delete the Kajabi App;
2) Delete all the emails you received from Kajabi Support for email confirmation.

For the best user experience, we recommend using the Google Chrome browser. If you continue to experience issues, you may need to clear your cache or update your browser. If you live in an area with slower internet speeds, you may want to try Vivaldi or Opera. We do NOT recommend using Internet Explorer.
First, be sure to close all other browser windows and any other programs that are open on your computer, then refresh your browser. If you continue to experience issues, you may need to clear your cache or update your browser.
Video load time will depend on your network and internet connection. Different browsers require different network speeds. For the best experience, we recommend using the Google Chrome browser. If you live in an area with slower internet speeds, you may want to try Vivaldi or Opera. We do NOT recommend using Internet Explorer.
The 2021 Floret Online Workshop includes a La Musa de las Flores Tour video, but not a Q&A video. Please refer to the 2021 Video Outline (with video lengths) in the Module 1 Downloads section for a complete list of videos.

No, the workshop is a web-based platform, so all you need is an Internet connection. You can access the content on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other mobile device; no special applications or software downloads necessary. For the best user experience, we recommend using the Google Chrome browser. If you live in an area with slower internet speeds, you may want to try Vivaldi or Opera. We do NOT recommend using Internet Explorer.
No. Because all the content is online, you can go at your own pace to get through the material. It’s no problem to take a break during your busy times and resume the course once things quiet down. There is no specific time you need to login to access the workshop content. Once the workshop begins and each weekly module is released, you can watch the video lessons whenever it is most convenient for you. You can always revisit a lesson when questions arise about a specific topic, as you have lifetime access to the course materials.
Sorry, but we are only able to provide one Floret Learning Community group invitation per workshop registration.
No. The course is set up for one person per registration. Sharing passwords, screenshots, course packet copies, or any other information from the workshop to anyone not registered is strictly prohibited. Please note: we do monitor accounts for unauthorized logins and we reserve the right to revoke access and deny a refund to anyone found in violation of our terms of use.
Each week of the 2021 workshop you will have an opportunity to submit a question for Erin to answer during the weekly Q&A session video. To increase the likelihood that your question will be addressed, please make sure it relates to the course content included in the most recently released module. Questions that are unique to your farm or specific situation are less likely to be answered, as we want the information shared in the video to benefit the broader student audience. Post your question inside the Floret Learning Community under the topic for that week's module. Please refer to the 2021 workshop schedule in your course book for weekly submission deadlines. The Q&A session videos will be uploaded at the bottom of each module.
To ensure that future messages from Floret go to your primary inbox (versus promotions tab) please be sure to add the following addresses to your contacts: [email protected] and [email protected].
The Online Workshop provides detailed instruction on making market bouquets and efficient packaging techniques, but the course does not include wedding-type design tutorials.
