Debra Prinzing created American Flowers Week in 2015 as a community-focused floral holiday that allows and encourages participation from everyone in the floral industry — from flower seed and bulb producers to growers; from designers to retailers; from cutting garden enthusiasts to artists.
Here are the many ways you can particpate in the original American-grown floral holiday:

It’s simple, Take photos of your flowers — flowers and foliages that you grow, harvest or design.
Post the images to social media outlets and use #americanflowersweek #slowflowers as your tags.
