We are flower and education obsessed here at Learn Joseph Massie, and understand that great floral design begins with great flowers.  So when one of our favourite flower growers offers the opportunity for us to learn more about their blooms and just what it takes to produce such wonderful quality stems, we jump at the possibility of learning more and understanding better about our favourite thing – flowers.

Forward thinking growers, Marginpar, pride themselves on quality, uniqueness and the people at the heart of their process.  Every single element from soil health to packaging their product is intentional to provide their customers with something very special. In their brand new series, "Ask Marginpar" you have the opportunity to go on a floral journey behind their scenes to discover just what it takes to produce some of the best blooms on the market.
