Manitoba flower farmer gets support for unique tourism business making handmade textile goods 

Masagana is a Tagalog word meaning abundant, plentiful, and prosperous, and describes the inspiration felt by Lourdes Still as she developed her Masagana Flower Farm into a year-round floral experience. The flower farm is a living example of her belief that growing joy and creating magic is at your fingertips.
By attending a business planning workshop at the Women’s Enterprise Center Manitoba - a PrairiesCan Business Network partner, Still was able to develop a business plan focused on diversification, establish her seasonable flower farm, and gradually expand it into a successful floral business and tourism destination.
Masagna Flower Farm now offers a unique and immersive tourism experience in Southern Manitoba, where visitors can attend garden tours, pick their own flowers, and attend natural dyeing workshops. This has helped create a community of eco-conscious consumers embracing local sustainable flowers and textiles.
