SFJ Fall 2026 cover art

Just in time for Harvest and Holiday, we are delighted to share the Fall 2025 issue of Slow Flowers Journal. Ours has been a season filled with book promotions and events to celebrate the publication of The Flower Farmers, and we are so grateful to the many Slow Flowers members who have hosted us on their farms and in their flower shops. We believe strongly in storytelling and have dedicated the book “to living a flower-filled life.”

This issue is for flower lovers, of course. Muriel Poure’s Gilded Age-inspired exhibition features an all dried flowers installation at Lyndhurst in Bloom, as she filled one room of the historic mansion with her botanical artistry. We love Nicole Wright’s “From the Heart” essay, in which she tells the story of a family heirloom that has passed from one generation to the next. And we’re excited read how Susan Larder and Carol Millett host fellow artists to paint their gardens and flowers, en plein air, at Foraged Florals in the heart of Nova Scotia.

We also check in with two Slow Flowers members – Nicole Huson and Alicia Houston to learn about the lily trials this past season.

There’s much more to find in the pages of Slow Flowers Journal. We hope each of these heartfelt narratives will prompt ideas and insights for your floral enterprise! As always, please reach out to share your creative news. We’d love to see more of our Slow Flowers members in the pages of this magazine.
