BLOOM Imprint and Slow Flowers Society have lots to celebrate, including American Flowers Week (June 28 to 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 seasons, places, and stories through wearable floral fashions.
Floral design, art, and craft come together in two stories featuring our members. Read about Debby Mittelman's Fleurmania, a gathering that elevated Arizona-grown flowers and sparked new interest across the state. BAM in Bloom recently showcased 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. In addition, Garden Communicators International awarded us the 2023 Silver Laurels Medal in three categories. We were honored for our books "Black Flora" and "Growing Wonder," plus the Fall 2022 issue of SFJ.
