SEATTLE, WA – Slowflowers.com, the comprehensive online resource that connects consumers with local, seasonal and sustainable flowers, has announced details about the third annual “American Flowers Week.”
Since 2015, Slowflowers.com creator Debra Prinzing has staged a week-long celebration of domestic flowers to raise consumer awareness and unite America’s flower farmers with the U.S. floral industry. Last year, that effort generated more than 1.3 million social media impressions on Twitter and Instagram in a single month, demonstrating the power of images, ideas and values that promote American Grown Flowers.
For the 2017 campaign, Slow Flowers has commissioned five Floral Style Fashion Shoots featuring iconic American-grown flowers, including sunflowers, roses, peonies and more. The wearable floral fashions designed by five Slowflowers.com member florists will be unveiled during American Flowers Week. Those designers include Amy Kunkel-Patterson of Gather Design Co., Riz Reyes of RHR Horticulture, Tara Folker of Splints & Daisies, Teresa Sabankaya of Bonny Doon Garden Co. and Arthur Williams, AIFD, of Babylon Floral. These American-grown floral looks feature flowers and foliages donated by the farmers of the Seattle Wholesale Growers Market, Stargazer Barn, California Pajarosa and The Fresh Herb Co., among others.
