BLOOM Imprint and Slow Flowers Society have lots to celebrate, including American Flowers Week (June 28-July 4), our eighth annual promotion. At its heart is our botanical couture collection and we love showcasing Slow Flowers’ floral artists, farmer florists, and growers as they interpret and express season, place and story through wearable floral fashions.
Floral design, art, and craft come together in two stories featuring our members. Read about Debby Middelman’s Fleurmania, which elevated Arizona-grown flowers and sparked new interest across the state. BAM in Bloom recently combined local and U.S.-grown botanicals at the Bellevue Art Museum, one of the Pacific Northwest’s important cultural institutions, with nine Slow Flowers members interpreting works of art through flowers. Congratulations to Carlee Donnelly of Goldenrod Floral Design for winning the Viewer’s Choice Award!
Speaking of awards, BLOOM Imprint and Slow Flowers have received industry recognition for recent projects. Garden Communicators International awarded us the 2023 Silver Laurels Medal in three categories. Honored were our books “Black Flora” and “Growing Wonder,” and the Fall 2022 issue of “Slow Flowers Journal.”
