"I've had the opportunity to take online classes from LeeAnn as well as receive consulting, and cannot recommend her enough. She is truly an expert - and a kind and approachable teacher who empowers her students. Her patience with any question I asked, and also her attitude of humility - that not all ways work for all people or environments - set me up with ideas to try that will ultimately help me to reach the best methods of dahlia cultivation that matches my lifestyle, growing zone and farming methods. I trust her and highly recommend others take the opportunity to learn from LeeAnn!"

"LeeAnn has the perfect tone and tenor for teaching, keeping it light, but informative. Teaching is a challenging vocation, because ultimately we are judged on how well our students receive and apply the material they are provided. LeeAnn achieves the feat of bringing Dahlia knowledge to a level that all, from beginners to masters, can absorb. She's a wonderful teacher!"

Meet Your Instructor
LeeAnn Huber of Coseytown Flowers is a dahlia hybridizer, educator, flower farmer and entrepreneur whose line of dahlias bred specifically for cut flower production - Coseytown-Certified Cut Flower dahlias - are distributed throughout the United States and Canada. LeeAnn's passion for lifelong learning and applying evidenced based approaches in an agricultural context is embodied in her daily mantra ‘Every day is a school day!’ LeeAnn can be found sharing her expertise on all things dahlias across a variety of venues including as lead instructor at Coseytown Academy, guest educator with internationally renowned Longwood Gardens, subject matter expert and thought leader on various floriculture channels and podcasts, and through Coseytown Flowers website, social channels and educational offerings.
LeeAnn, who’s agricultural heritage spans many generations in the mid-Atlantic region, was raised on a beef cattle farm specializing in cattle breeding. LeeAnn graduated from The Pennsylvania State University with a degree in Animal Sciences and International Agriculture before starting a successful career in Sales and Marketing.
Following her promotion to motherhood, LeeAnn left the corporate world and formally incorporated Coseytown Flowers in 2015, turning a hobbyist’s daydream into a full-time business.
Located among the gently rolling hills of Greencastle, PA, dahlias were a focal point for Coseytown’s local cut flower sales from the beginning and it wasn’t long before LeeAnn began a hybridization program to cultivate her own line of dahlias bred specifically for cut flower production - Coseytown-Certified Cut Flower ahlias - which are sold throughout the United States and Canada.
