Slow Flowers Journal and BLOOM Imprint have received the GOLD LAUREL MEDIA AWARD from GardenComm (Garden Communicators International) in the Consumer Magazine category for the Winter 2023 issue.
This coveted honor goes to BLOOM Imprint, Slow Flowers’ publishing arm, and collaborators Debra Prinzing (editorial director) and Robin Avni (creative director). It is the third time GardenComm has recognized Slow Flower Journal for publishing excellence. We previously received Silver Laurel Media Awards for our American Flowers Week (Summer 2021) special issue and our Harvest + Holidays (Fall 2022) issue.
Thank you to all of our contributors – and a special congratulations to the team who created the issue’s cover look. The beautiful, winter-inspired photograph features Carolyn Kulb’s exuberant botanical couture piece, designed with Washington-grown hellebores for American Flowers Week 2021. The look evokes a romantic-futuristic vision and showcases the luxury and diverse range of this winter-blooming perennial.
