Welcome to Pennycress Studio
We are Samantha and Dan, husband and wife flower farmers located in the rolling hills of the driftless region, between Viroqua and La Crosse, WI. Samantha offers thoughtful, nuanced floral artistry using the highest quality blooms straight from our flower farm in Vernon County. We serve the greater La Crosse and Viroqua areas with wedding and event floral designs, seasonal flower bouquet subscriptions through our CSA program, flower workshops, and flower bar rentals for parties.
We couldn't be more passionate about local flowers and providing the La Crosse area with sustainable, unique floral arrangements.
Wedding Flowers
We delight most of all in bringing wedding flower dreams to life. When you inquire about flowers for your wedding, we take all of the wonderful information you provide us and create a custom mood board and proposal that showcases our ideas about how to make your vision a reality. We partner with you continually from the initial inquiry to the wedding day to ensure we are delivering on your vision with excellence.
Using flowers grown on our flower farm means your wedding flowers will be hyper local, seasonal and so super unique that your designs will be nearly impossible to replicate; truly they are a snapshot in time of what is looking the best on our farm the week of your wedding. We also work with trusted wholesale partners to order in those special flowers and foliage that are must-haves for you on your day - if we don't grow it, we are happy to source it for you!

Flower Bouquet CSA
From June through September, we offer a few different flower bouquet CSA options for those interested in receiving a fresh bouquet of flowers delivered on a weekly basis. Share in the bounty of our flower harvest, and discover flower varieties you might not heard of before from our specialty cut flower gardens.
Follow along with our growing and designing adventures for the whole season through our weekly newsletter, where we take you behind the scenes for an in-depth look at specific flowers, our growing practices, and inside our wedding design studio.
Flower Workshops
Come experience the flower farm for yourself with one of our monthly on-farm flower workshops! Together with our friends at Deep Rooted Organics, we co-host these immersive flower experiences, where attendees walk amongst the flowers in a guided garden tour, followed by a flower arranging demo by a professional florist, and a hands-on design portion. Attendees gain the knowledge and skill to design their own flower creation to bring home with them.
These workshops are open to any and all flower enthusiasts; no experience necessary.
Rent our Flower Bar for your next party
Looking for a fun, flower-filled activity for your next party? Consider renting our flower bar! Your guests can enjoy designing their own flower bouquet or centerpiece using a mix of flowers and foliage presented in a beautiful stand. We provide the flowers, setup, the floral tools needed for all of your guests to create, and the instructions and guidance to design like a pro.
Flower bars are becoming popular activities at bridal showers, baby showers, corporate events and any gathering that you just want to bring some creative energy to!
Flowers for Parties & Special Events
Bring some fresh flowers to your next gathering! We offer floral centerpieces of all shapes and sizes for parties and events in La Crosse and Viroqua areas. We have a variety of options, including large scale statement floral designs, low centerpieces for dining tables, small pops of floral throughout the room with bud vase arrangements, and more.
All of our designs have organic shape, texture and movement and showcase the finest, unique seasonal blooms. During the growing months, May to October, designs will feature flowers grown on our farm. We always source as locally as possible for both in- and out-of-season floral designs.
Seasonal Floral Designs for Styled Shoots
We offer bouquets and custom flower arrangements for photographers and stylists for styled shoots during our growing season, May through October. Let our fresh flowers help you transform your space and complement your vision for your styled shoot.

The farm
Our farm is the backbone of our floral studio - it is the source of our creative inspiration, and brings us joy and restoration. It is the resounding feedback of all of our visitors that our property is "so peaceful" - and we have to agree! Fueled by a desire to steward God's creation in the most glorifying way possible, we pour so much love and integrity into the care of our flowers, livestock, and myriad fruit trees, shrubs and other perennials.
