celebrate.

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. We are inspired

by Muriel Poure’s Gilded Age-inspired installation featuring all dried flowers 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 to 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 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.

For years, it resided in The Pink Peony, my flower shop in Waterford, Wisconsin, where it served as the backdrop to my register counter, doubling as a divider between my retail and workshop areas. With each passing season, I utilized the hutch to display my favorite retail items and wrapped bouquets, and gifts on its surface.

It's possible to trace my story through the history of this cherished piece of furniture. Since the early 1800s, Milwaukee has been significantly influenced by the large German population and the city’s expansive brewing industry. Nearly every Wisconsin town possesses a bar. My small town alone has five bars and breweries, one of which is the oldest tavern in the state. Odds are, most Wisconsinites have an ancestor who operated or tended bar. These places evoke a sense of fellowship and nostalgia.

SITE SPECIFIC chosen site and provided aprons, of course. We prepared two bouquets for still-life painting to accommodate people with mobility issues.

Lunch was at The Bower, an open-sided structure with a UV-protected clear covering that’s often the setting for private wedding ceremonies and dinner parties. Nothing builds a sense of community more than being seated around a harvest table and sharing local and seasonal food in community.

The Bower was decorated with seasonal florals to highlight the natural beauty of Foraged Florals. For our events, we have on hand a variety of dishes, stemware, glasses, and fabric napkins to be consistent with our sustainability goals.

In our welcome letter, we request any dietary or mobility considerations, and to suggest guests wear sturdy footwear and sun hats. In the letter, we also invited the artists to donate their art piece from the workshop to a local silent auction in support of an affordable housing project on which I serve as a board member. Most did. Each piece sold at or above the artists’ listed values.

“Those who attended were accomplished artists in their own right, with experience in a variety of media, including acrylic, watercolor, pencils, and ink.”

As hosts, our thrill is seeing how each artist captures the beauty of this special destination in the woods. Hosting artists here and seeing this property through their eyes makes us fall in love with this place all over again.

And it's true, a painting captures a moment in time. One of the artists painted a scene with curly willow. The very next day, I needed to harvest some curly willow for a floral design; yet the curly willow also lives on through art.
