Against the picturesque backdrop of the Roe family's homestead from 1905, we will work together to craft an immersive and grand-scale flower installation that dreams are made of. Throughout this experience, we will delve into the significance of using locally grown flowers and tips on selecting flowers that can withstand being part of an installation. A content creator and professional wedding photographer will be present to capture the behind the scenes and stunning photos of everyone with the completed installation.

Meet your host
Tahnee Skowron
Owner | Miller Rose Botanic
Hello! My names Tahnee and I’m the owner of Miller Rose Botanic. I started this business while on maternity leave with my daughter in 2020. It started as a small succulent arrangement business and soon blossomed into the eco friendly plant hire and florals business it is today!
Here at Miller Rose Botanic we have a pretty big goal - to change the wedding industry. We are tired of the waste created by traditional wedding flowers and want to provide an alternative. I can’t wait to share the knowledge and techniques I’ve learned over the past few years at this retreat!
I’ll see you there!
