INSTRUCTOR

Jenny Derevere
Jenny deRevere started out in floral design assisting in her Mom’s floral shop as a teen. Always dreaming of having a cutting garden of her own, she began her journey exploring growing flowers in her small cottage garden 20 years ago. Her leap to farming cut flowers full time was a natural shift. With a focus on sustainable and natural growing practices, she founded Jenny’s Garden and Design on a bootstrap budget in 2017 by selling holiday wreaths. She continued to grow her garden with an array new-to-her species of specialty cut-flowering plants such as; dahlias, peonies, campanula, lisianthus, garden roses, ranunculus, anemones, scabiosa, celosia, delphiniums, just to name a few always finding new favorites.

Jenny’s Garden and Design has since sold cut-flower bouquets and stems at The Marigold Market in Winterville for several years, has designed florals for countless weddings and other events, has done many large scale floral installations, sells bouquets at The Daily Grocery in Athens, has monthly flower delivery bouquet subscription service in the Athens area and during the winter holidays can be found at the the Big City Bread Holiday Market.

Jenny’s Garden and Design was showcased as a farmer/florist at the Monroe Flower Festival in 2021, presented a talk to the Athens area Master Gardeners Association in 2021 and was nominated for the 2021 Intrigue Floral Awards. Jenny’s Garden hopes to sell their flowers and products at the Athens Farmers Market in Bishop park this coming growing season.

Jenny and her husband, Jamie have recently moved the farm to their forever home and have now expanded the growing space and floral design studio. They are excited to share their amazing garden and knowledge by hosting plant sales, farm tours, events. concerts, workshops in; floral design, field to vase design workshops, floral photography, wreath making, bulb forcing, growing practices, and many others at their farm in Stephens, Georgia in the coming months.
