Masagana Flower Farm & Studio
Through a commitment to environmentally-conscious land stewardship and championing local and rural economies, Masagana Flower Farm & Studio provides guests with a truly unique experience near Richer, Manitoba.
Focusing on the TINTA experience, guests use natural flower dyes to create their own wearable art. Many of the plants are grown on-site, and depending on the time of year, guests can participate in a flower u-pick or forage-from-the-forest experience to create their own unique eco-print. In 2023, construction on the Studio in the Woods was completed, allowing Masagana to invite even more guests for an experience they won’t soon forget.
Masagana shows the natural beauty, fertility and possibility of Manitoba’s bright and spacious prairie and invites guests to experience the province in which we live.
