Masagana Flower Farm is a small-scale flower farm and dye studio near La Broquerie, Manitoba. It is in Treaty 1 territory, traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene Peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation. .

At our Filipina-lead small business, sustainable growing practices are always on our mind. We grow flowers without synthetic fertilizers in garden beds where lawns previously existed. We advocate for an eco-conscious lifestyle and inspire others to reimagine their greenspaces. We grow seasonal blooms and dye plants and makes handmade, small batch, naturally dyed textile goods.


The Tinta Experience is a half-day creative retreat that invites you to explore two captivating natural dyeing techniques of Eco-Printing and Indigo Dyeing, using most of the botanicals grown at the farm.

With Lourdes as your guide, you’ll experiment with eco-printing, transferring the vibrant hues of flowers and leaves onto fabric through flower pounding (Tatakizome) and bundle dyeing. Then, you’ll dive into indigo’s deep, mysterious blues, learning to create an organic indigo vat and explore surface design techniques using resist templates and shapes, melted beeswax, and clay paste.

Each step of this experience is an embrace of the art of slowing down, (re)connecting with nature, ourselves, and each other, and creating wearable art as a tangible memory of our time together.
