Les fleurs Franktown House flowers
Crowdfunding Campaign
Franktown House Flowers is building a handcrafted gathering space, nestled in the heart of our flower farm, a short distance upriver from the Wakefield covered bridge along Tenagadino Zibi (Gatineau River).
The new workshop-studio will be a space for hosting flower-related workshops and other activities.
A space for: creativity · sharing · connection · slowing down · tranquility · play
If you value spending time in nature and appreciate learning from inspired creatives, coaches, and healers, we invite you to contribute to this vision. Our goal is to provide a space to calm nervous systems, connect with breath, play in community, and heal from the effects of stress, burnout, and conflict.
Our fundraising goal is $60,000. We are asking for 1/3 from our community. The remaining 2/3 is covered by our $20,000 investment which has been matched by Tourism Outaouais.
With 200 community members each contributing $100, we can reach our goal! (Or how about five friends and family members each pitch in $20!). If you would like to donate a greater amount, simply adjust the “quantity” at checkout (e.g. 2 x $100 to donate $200).
We aim to "raise the barn" in fall 2024. Donors will be invited to celebrate its completion and be the first to know about upcoming events at the farm! You will also be eligible to receive a 25% discount on your first 2025 Franktown House Flowers workshop or tiny house booking <more details about our tiny house available upon request>.
Background and Vision
After 10 years of cultivating beauty, we are creating new opportunities for people to visit the farm and take in the breathtaking view.
Craft builders and a local sawmill are lined up to build a structure to host workshops, under protecting from the elements.
Local landscapers are helping bring to life a perennial garden that will lead the path to workshops and events, alongside our cut flower production beds.
You will be helping to create a space to slow down, ground and connect in a tranquil natural setting.
