Get ready for American Flowers Week, June 28-July 4, 2023!
We’re thrilled to reveal the 2023 American Flowers Week branding, created exclusively for Slow Flowers Society by April Lemly, a flower farmer-turned-designer based in Los Angeles, California.
April is a long-time friend of the Slow Flowers Movement who previously owned and operated Kamama Flowers in Sequim, Washington. You can listen to our 2018 interview with April on the Slow Flowers Podcast here. She has been a teacher, a graphic designer, a small business marketing coach, a flower farmer and floral designer. We love her artwork, which you can see at @aprillemly_art on Instagram.
We were drawn to her playful illustration technique that depicts mostly female characters, animal, and plants.
We asked April to join 2023 American Flowers Week as our featured artist and she jumped right in earlier this year. We brainstormed with April and she created three concepts for our review. This original American Flowers Week illustration was our choice! We love how April captured people, flowers, animals, and agricultural motifs. What you see above is the final piece, a gathering of flower folks of all walks, which is exactly what American Flowers Week is all about! We think you will agree!
