FAITH FLOWER TOURS

We developed specialty Flower Tours in order to explore different areas of the world with a focus on flowers. Since 2011, we have led multiple Flower Tours to various countries. Our recipe for a Faith Flowers Tour starts with flower arranging workshops with local, leading floral instructors and designers. We add visits to special gardens and floral related activities. We orient the tours around unique flower experiences in each region. Along the way we enjoy great restaurants and sightseeing with fellow flower lovers. All experience levels are welcome!

Laura Iarocci, owner and lead designer of Faith Flowers, began Faith Flowers Tours because she wanted to share her European flower experiences with her flower friends. Laura's father was the ambassador to the Netherlands and her family lived there for many years. During her visits, she spent many hours visiting, learning, and enjoying the splendid flower culture of the region. Laura took this local knowledge and created Faith Flowers' very first flower tour with great success.

Now a fully developed 2.5 acre flower garden, PYRUS supplies local florists, wholesalers, retail markets and their own floral design studio. They are also a full-service wedding floral designer.
    • Days of Dahlia:  Founded by mother and daughter Louisina and Lauren, Days of Dahlia is a small flower farm and design studio committed to organic and sustainable flower farming. They specialize in classic, heirloom and cottage garden favorites along with rare, hard to find varieties. Days of Dahlia often holds workshops at their home studio and flower farm where they also provide full-service wedding and event design services.
    • Hands Full of Flowers:  Owned by Libby and Alice, Hands Full of Flowers is an artisan cutting garden and floristry studio in the Scottish Highlands. Inspired by the natural, wild beauty of the Highlands, Libby and Alice almost exclusively use flowers and foliage grown in their own garden for their retail and wedding designs.
