This year's San Francisco Flower and Garden Show, from Wednesday to next Sun is shaping up to be a timely event, spurred by topics like the drought, California natives and a greater emphasis on domestically and sustainably grown flowers, specifically from California.

The show's new Flower Pavilion Stage is spearheaded by Debra Prinzing, author of seven books, including "The 50-Mile Bouquet," and the nation's leading advocate for American-grown flowers. Prinzing, along with the California Cut Flower Commission and new flower show owners Maryanne Lucas and Sherry Larsen, has created a forum where visitors can watch demos from leading floral designers and learn about the benefits of using domestic and California cut flowers.

We connected with Prinzing to find out more about her role and what to expect at this year's show.
