Hi! We’re Emily von Trapp and Linda D’Arco, best friends, hosts of the ‘Frost on Flowers’ podcast, and teachers of The Tulip Workshop. Welcome to our winter wonderland, where we teach hundreds of fellow flower farmers and tulip lovers the art and science behind coaxing beautiful flowers to bloom during the “off season.” We’re both proud and excited to be bringing our 15+ years of experience and experimentation to this platform, where anyone in the world can join us virtually for a workshop and learn how we’ve made winter our most profitable growing season. We also offer on-farm experiences at Emily’s farm in Vermont each fall.

We met at one of the first tulip forcing workshops at Emily’s farm several years ago, and quickly found that we share a number of uncanny similarities— the same birthday, the same past career in education, the same pet names,…the list went on and on. Our friendship grew over our shared love of tulips and the growth of this program as means for sharing that passion with the world.

Now, we teach fellow growers around the world how to extend their growing season, bring valuable winter income to their businesses, and provide local, pesticide-free healthy flowers to their communities when the only other option for blooms can be chemical laden products shipped from far away. It’s really a dream come true.
