Celebrating American Flowers Week’s 10th Anniversary
American Flowers Week encourages flower farmers, floral designers, flower enthusiasts, and gardeners alike to promote their blooms across social media with the hashtag: #americanflowersweek.
The campaign debuted in 2015 and has continued for a full decade as the original domestic flower promotion holiday.
The relevance and importance of local, seasonal, and sustainably grown flowers continues to influence the professional floral marketplace, as well as passionate consumers. By designating a single week to our promotion, Slow Flowers Society elevates awareness and highlights the many reasons to support local flowers, and those who grow and design with them.
During this week — June 28-July 4 — we will be sharing our beautiful botanical couture collection with you, including details about the designers and floral ingredients included in this creative project. Enjoy locally-grown, American-grown blooms as wearable art!
This year’s American Flowers Week botanical couture collection is uniique to the location and season where it was produced and photographed, with design narratives that elevate and reimagine flowers and foliage as botanical couture.
