    Episode 686 – An autumn flower farm tour + conversation with Caitlin Carnahan of Diamond Day Bouquet, based on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula

    https://youtu.be/XPwCOnCEJQ4?si=QvkEM8TfN2ZhNilS “Diamond Day” is a charming 1970s folksong by English singer-songwriter Vashti Bunyan. The lyrics about a sweet family farm inspired Caitlin Carnahan, today’s guest, to borrow its title for her business, Diamond Day Bouquet. The farm specializes in unique and old-fashioned, garden-style flowers grown organically and with love. Caitlin has developed an expertise growing for the grocery and wholesale market, which we discuss in our conversation. Join me on a visit and be inspired by the many botanical varieties that thrive in this idyllic place.I first met Caitlin Carnahan of Diamond Day Bouquet through my dear friends, Karen and Kristina, who subscribed to Caitlin’s CSA flower service – back when she had time to offer one. They are neighbors of Diamond Day Bouquet, since all live on Egg & I Road in Chimacum, Washington, a tiny town with population of 1,500, located outside Port Townsend. Caitlin Carnahan of Diamond Day Bouquet Egg & I is both a location and also a piece of agricultural history, the title of a humorous 1940s memoir by American author Betty MacDonald about her adventures living on a chicken farm. The story later hit the big screen as a 1947 film starring Fred MacMurray and Claudette Colbert. Needless to say, while they do keep chickens, the farm on Egg & I Road is now Diamond Day Bouquet, known for growing unique specialty cut flowers with character, and Caitlin loves to share the story of her blooms that far surpass big-box-store options. Seasonal flowers at Diamond Day Bouquet Here’s a little more about Caitlin: After working several years painting scenery for Seattle area theatre productions, Caitlin began her agricultural life as a vegetable farmer. She and her partner Greg Reed ran away from the city in search of the good life. After much adventuring they landed on Vashon Island, where they managed a small vegetable farm. Every season the flower patch grew a little larger, and after relocating to the Olympic Peninsula they were able to realize their dream and buy five acres to grow on - Diamond Day Bouquet was born, as well as their two beautiful children. Greg is a teacher at the local high school and Caitlin calls him the farm’s handyman, its voice of reason and saving grace.Follow Diamond Day Bouquet on Instagram Where you can find Diamond Day Bouquet flowers: The Port Townsend Food Co-opThe Chimacum Corner FarmstandThe Seattle Wholesale Growers Market.

    https://youtu.be/cSGfpRJ4meU?si=p5pd7fNS8uD5gKqU Kit Wertz and Casey Schwartz are a gifted sister duo who own Flower Duet, a dynamic studio serving Los Angeles and the greater Southern California region. Their diversified floral enterprise ranges from lavish beachfront weddings to popular design workshops for local botanical gardens and cultural institutions. They also provide flowers for an impressive lineup of corporate clients and today, you’ll hear all about Flower Duet’s best practices and advice for attracting, maintaining, and serving corporate event florals for your market.  Kit Wertz (left) and Casey Schwartz (right) of Flower Duet won a Details Flowers Software package at the Slow Flowers Summit in 2021. I met Kit and Casey, the sisters behind Flower Duet, more than 10 years ago, when they wrote a sweet review of my Slow Flowers book in their newsletter. It was one of those unexpected surprises that led to meeting in person later that year when I was in Los Angeles and they hosted a book event for me in their fabulous studio. Since then, we’ve done many collaborations, including presenting Kit and Casey as speakers at the 2nd Slow Flowers Summit, featuring their stories in numerous magazine, book, and podcast projects, and many more floral adventures. Casey Schwartz and Kit Wertz, Flower Duet LA While planning to resume our monthly Slow Flowers member virtual meet-up for September, I wanted to focus on helping our member build their businesses and expand their horizons. And I thought of Flower Duet’s very robust corporate portfolio that includes everything from product launches, team building, galas, ongoing floral services and more. Kit and Casey were enthusiastic about our invitation and they recently presented for the Member Meet-Up. You can watch the replay video or listen to the audio today. I do encourage you to come over to slowflowerspodcast.com for Episode 685 to see the slides of their presentation – it’s filled with useful and important tips for building a corporate floral focus in your studio, shop or flower farm. _Growing Corporate ClientsDownload Plus, the session wraps up with Casey’s floral design demonstration that was headed to a corporate delivery immediately after our recording. Click here to sign up for Flower Duet’s beautiful and very useful newsletter where you can learn about all of the workshops and learning opportunities from Kit and Casey. After our member meet-up, I heard from a number of attendees who raved about Flower Duet’s tips and advice, including this "rave" below: “I really got a lot out of the Meet Up! I immediately went in and beefed up our Google Maps listing, for instance, and we're going to add bios to our website: --Among two concrete takeaways we got from the meeting. I hope to be an even better, positive presence for Slow Flowers.

    Episode 684 – Floral Standards, the essential new book from the Seattle Wholesale Growers Market – featuring my conversation with Brad Siebe, Diane Szukovathy and Vivian Larson

    https://youtu.be/Ns4hRz816No?si=-_mUx9ElsSCtPQ9Q Decades of flower farming experience add up to a new, 336-page reference guide called “Floral Standards,” compiled by members of the Seattle Wholesale Growers Market. Join me for your first chance to see a preview of this book, and to learn from some of its creative team members. Learn how you can get your hands on this incredible guide to best practices and product specifications for 230 floral crops – from Abelia to Zinnia and more! Floral Standards by Seattle Wholesale Growers Market's flower farmers Today, I’m joined by three of the many people responsible for Floral Standards, a book that’s by flower farmers for flower farmers, introducing production and harvest know-how for 230 floral crops – all with the goal of helping specialty cut flower growers be successful. Table of Contents - Floral Standards by Seattle Wholesale Growers Market As many of you know, I have been closely aligned with the Seattle Wholesale Growers Market since the pioneering producers’ cooperative was merely an idea hatched by a group of flower farmers in the Pacific Northwest. Established in 2011, the Growers Market is the gold standard and business model for many regional flower hubs across North America, as more cooperatives and collectives strive to professionalize flower farming. Through their leadership we have witnessed an important shift in the floral marketplace – one that has inspired thousands of flower farmers, farmer-florists, floral designers, and consumers to be more thoughtful and discerning about their floral sourcing choices. The compilation of FLORAL STANDARDS took place over a number of years, initiated by an idea to create “specification sheets” for the many products grown and marketed by member farmers.  Led by longtime board member and co-founder Diane Szukovathy, also co-founder of Jello Mold Farm, member growers invested hundreds of volunteer hours to document their successful approaches to selection, care, harvest, and post-harvest, as well as advice for packing, shipping, and supplying customers ranging from wedding and event designers to mass market retailers. They researched vase life for numerous varieties, noting recommended cultivars for commercial growing and singling out grower favorites.  Floral Standards is hot off the press as of last week, and today I’m joined by Brad Siebe, the Market’s general manager, Vivian Larson of Everyday Flowers, a co-founder of the Market, and her cohort Diane Szukovathy, who share the story of how this amazing project was created and how it will help you. I’m so excited to host our conversation and to introduce Floral Standards to the Slow Flowers community of flower farmers and florists, not to mention cutting garden growers like me. Let’s jump right in and get started – and welcome Brad, Diane, and Vivian to the Slow Flowers Podcast. As I mentioned, the farmers asked me to write the foreword to Floral Standards. It was quite special to be part of that experience as I reflected on the trailblazing strides of all my flower farmer friends whose beautiful, local, high-quality botanical product I have cherished using year in and year out since 2011.

    Episode 683 – Paulina Nieliwocki of Blue Jasmine Floral welcomes us to her New Jersey studio and designs a foam-free floral arrangement

    https://youtu.be/s9Rcn7C_F9A?si=IeP-3B9Qcl6ruZO5 Paulina Nieliwocki is celebrating her 10th anniversary as owner and creative director of Blue Jasmine Floral, a New Jersey-based shop and studio serving the greater New York City-Hudson Valley-New Jersey region with wedding and event florals. I’ve always loved how Paulina combines color palettes, floral shapes, and botanical textures to create her pieces -- and today, we’re in for a treat because she’s designing on camera to share a signature arrangement in a vintage footed compote. Paulina Nieliwocki, owner, lead designer, and creative director of Blue Jasmine Floral I’m so happy to welcome Paulina Nieliwocki of Blue Jasmine Floral to the Slow Flowers Podcast today. I love following Paulina’s posts on social media – she always shares the most beautiful floral designs on Instagram. They are feminine, colorful and unexpected botanical combinations that make me look at her floral choices and think: why haven’t I used that or maybe I should pair those floral colors! Blue Jasmine Floral - Studio (c) Fine and Fleurie I’ve been wanting to interview Paulina for a while, and with her return to Holly Chapple’s Flowerstock next month, the timing was perfect to highlight Paulina. Flowerstock will take place October 13-15, at Hope Flower Farm in Leesburg, Virginia. Paulina has taught at several past Flowerstock events, and next month, she will join Holly Chapple, Robbie Honey the Accidental Botanist, LaParis Phillips of Brooklyn Blooms, and Frida Kim of Frida Kim Flowers from London. Here’s a bit more about Paulina: Blue Jasmine Floral - foam-free baby shower installation After many years as a high school language teacher and translator Paulina was ready for a new adventure that challenged her while still feeding her creativity. Flowers had a big impact on her as a child. Her memories of picking wildflowers for my grandmother and making little arrangements for her family, propelled this floral design journey. In 2014, Paulina left teaching high school and opened Blue Jasmine, naming it after her grandmother’s favorite bloom, with the idea of providing and teaching an aesthetic that spoke to my idea of beauty – wild, whimsical, artful, and refined.  Blue Jasmine Floral tabletop design for LaTavola linens We’re so thrilled that Blue Jasmine Floral has been a Slow Flowers member for many years and it’s a joy to share today’s conversation with Paulina to inspire you.

    Episode 682: Celeste Monke of Free Range Flowers, a diversified cut flower farm operated with partner Jay Roelof – plus, a farm tour to preview ASCFG’s regional meeting in Bellingham, Washington

    https://youtu.be/ApiN1ZdzaGk?si=bLQsoZe7XzSmvhyA https://youtu.be/EwxlC8aXfrM?si=kXu6PgqkYz9vlish Nothing beats a flower farm tour – and I couldn’t say no to the chance to visit Free Range Flowers in person last week. It’s a beautiful, sustainable cut flower farm and design studio just miles away from the Canadian border outside Bellingham. I’m so happy to share my conversation with farmer-florist Celeste Monke recorded after we walked through the fields and high tunnels where dahlias were exploding and the landscape’s autumn palette glowed with rudbeckia, zinnias, amaranth, lisianthus and much more. Jay Roelof and Celeste Monke, Free Range Flowers A few weeks ago, I previewed the South and Central ASCFG Regional meeting with Slow Flowers members and veteran flower growers Chet and Kristy Anderson and their son Chet Anderson Junior, of The Fresh Herb Co. – I hope you enjoyed that episode as much as I did. Today, I’m previewing another upcoming ASCFG regional meeting with Celeste Monke and Jay Roelof own Free Range Flowers outside Bellingham, Washington. Free Range Flowers Seasonal harvest at Free Range Flowers Longtime Slow Flowers members who cofounded the farm in 2016, Celeste and Jay bring their amazing, high-quality floral crops, to the Seattle Wholesale Growers Market, which is how I’ve become acquainted with them and their shared passion. Free Range Flowers (c) Caylie Mash Photography Free Range Flowers are organically grown and rainwater fed, raised on Nooksack land in a larger farm project of environmental and social sustainability. Celeste is all about her hands in the dirt and heart on her sleeve. She has a penchant for seeds, herbs, and organization, while Jay is a plant reader with laser vision who can engineer almost anything. He keeps the equipment maintained and the plant babies happy from seed to harvest while setting the whole team up for success. Celeste in the design studio They believe their shared actions of cultivating healthy soil, sowing seeds, propagating plants and harvest create a sense of belonging and connection to place. Jay at Free Range Flowers I’ve been wanting to visit Free Range Flowers for years, and the occasion of the upcoming ASCFG regional meeting in Bellingham, which includes a tour of Free Range Flowers, was the impetus to travel north from Seattle last week to do just that. I joined Celeste and Jay, and shared the farm lunch with them and two of their crew members, Abbie and Shef – imagine working for several hours and then sitting down to a delicious, home-cooked meal featuring veggies and herbs from the farm. Thank you Celeste and Jay!

    Episode 681: Slow Flowers goes Back to School with sustainable floral educator Sarah Berquist of Stockbridge School of Agriculture at University of Massachusetts-Amherst.

    https://youtu.be/shykxxG81v8?si=fQxmKPV-QDTjz1yo At this time of year, I’m feeling those back-to-school vibes -- and more importantly, seeking more knowledge – so I’m happy to feature floral educator Sarah Berquist, who teaches sustainable flower farming and floral entrepreneurship to college students at the Stockbridge School of Agriculture. Join me to learn about her inspiring approach to educating farmer-florists of the future. I’m so happy today to share an extended episode that introduces our community to what’s happening in flower farming and floral design education at the university level. Over the past two years, I’ve so enjoyed getting to know Sarah Berquist, a Slow Flowers member based in Amherst, Massachusetts. She originally joined as a member under her business name, Flowers by Sarah B, but I later learned that she is a floral educator at University of Massachusetts-Amherst. Students at campus farmers' market While Sarah’s entre into floral design began as a fun side-gig, she has taken a leadership role at U-Mass’s Stockbridge School of Agriculture in developing floral design and farmer-florist curriculum for college students in the Sustainable Food and Farming program.Here is the Stockbridge Floral Program's new home on the Stockbridge website! Flower Wall with Students I’ve been so inspired to learn about the first credited Retail Floral Design course, which is in its second year, as well as the farmer-florist practicum that will also be offered again next semester. Dahlia Harvest I invited Sarah to share the story of her emerging floral education program. After you hear our 30-minute conversation, you’re in for a treat. Last week, during the first week of the fall semester, Sarah gathered with some of her returning students to record their insights about growing and designing through a sustainability lens. You’ll hear their voices in the podcast audio, but if you have time, I encourage you to watch the video above, where you’ll see them in the field harvesting, and follow them into the drying room. I know you’ll be as inspired as I was to hear from the future leaders of our Slow Flowers Movement!

    Episode 680: Let’s throw a Dahlia Festival with Lisa Dailey of Cultivation, a Slow Flowers member and horticulture consultant based in Highland, North Carolina

    https://youtu.be/OwiLNusDFHo?si=kPHMwNpLevdMkOSr Like me, so many of our Slow Flowers practitioners have careers rooted in horticulture. And today’s guest, Lisa Dailey of Highlands, North Carolina-based Cultivation, shares how she brings Slow Flowers to her community by melding landscape and cutting garden design and consultation with organic floral design. It all comes together for Lisa and her colleagues at this weekend’s Dazzling Dahlia Festival, the 14th annual celebration that includes a dahlia bloom competition, floral vignette installations throughout the community, workshops, bouquet and tuber sales, and more. Join me to learn all about the floral fun. Lisa Dailey’s path to flowers is probably genetic, as she credits her grandmother and mother for teaching her and nurturing a love of nature. As she notes, “having such pure intentional gardeners cultivate me, how could I be anything else but a horticulturist?” Lisa grew up in Savannah, surrounded by live oaks, camellias and azaleas, not to mention centuries-old gardens. She was equally influenced by the mountains of Highlands, North Carolina, where she spent childhood visits to family. Now, she spends time in both communities, while living and working year-round in Highlands. With a bachelor’s degree in agriculture from the University of Georgia, Lisa spent much of her early career working in consumer gardening as an educator. In Highlands, she has returned to her horticultural roots through a consultancy called Cultivation, a business that combines all of Lisa’s areas of expertise -- gardening, landscape design, healthy soil and botanical floral design. She works with residential clients to enhance their gardens. But she is also deeply involved in programs to promote native plants and horticulture. Lisa joined me this week to share how her love of dahlia growing has inspired her volunteer efforts to promote the Dazzling Dahlia Festival, a program of the Highlands Historical Society, which takes place this weekend, September 5-7th. There are many facets to this event, which began quite modestly as an exhibition of single dahlia blooms submitted by individual growers. Through the efforts of community volunteers, the celebration has exploded, especially post-COVID. “Flower Power,” the 2024 festival, includes dahlia competition for amateur and professional growers, a floral vignette invitational with installations throughout the community, plus music, storytelling, food, docent tours, and other community activities. Let’s jump right in and learn more. Lisa invited fellow dahlia lover Kim Daugherty to introduce us to the festival; and then we talk floral design, dahlia growing, and more.

    Episode 679: The Anderson Family’s forty-one years of growing flowers, herbs, and ornamentals at The Fresh Herb Co. in Longmont, Colorado, including thousands of lilies each week – all year long!

    https://youtu.be/IqJU6_Qp0QE?si=GMjliuNJQWgkrKjM Chet and Kristy Anderson are flower farming pioneers, having operated The Fresh Herb Co. for more than four decades, supplying farmers’ markets and Whole Foods shoppers in the Rocky Mountain region, selling their flowers direct to local customers, and hosting weddings and events at their beautiful farm in Longmont, Colorado. Joined by their adult son, also called Chet, they continue to expand The Fresh Herb Co., including its impressive, year-round lily program. Next week, they will open their farm to fellow growers as part of the regional meeting for the ASCFG – and today’ you’ll enjoy a preview. Chet and Kristy Anderson, photographed at the 2015 Field to Vase Dinner (c) Certified American Grown I am especially excited to talk today with the Anderson family – parents Chet and Kristy, and their eldest son, Chet. His brother Nick is also involved in the family business. This is a forty-one-year-old operation, beginning with culinary herbs and salad greens, and for the past 20 years, having a focus on specialty cut flowers, hanging baskets, succulent bowls, and yes, of course, those beautiful herbs. The year-round greenhouse program produces 6,000- to 8,000 Asiatic and Oriental lilies each week, which is nothing short of mind-blowing. The Fresh Herb Co.'s Oriental lilies I first met Chet and Kristy when I was invited to speak at the Denver Botanic Garden in 2011. Their embrace of my passion for Slow Flowers led to an invitation to tour their farm, and my collaborator, photographer David Perry, and I immediately knew we wanted to include their story in the book we were creating – which eventually became The 50 Mile Bouquet, published in 2012. Read that story below: Rocky_Mountain_Flowers_The_50_Mile_BouquetDownload I’ve been back to lecture and teach at DBG, but also was privileged to attend two of the Field to Vase Dinners that Chet and Kristy and their family hosted during my years helping to get Certified American Grown’s farm dinner program off the ground. What a delightful chance to reconnect today, get caught up on what these talented flower farmers and entrepreneurs are doing, and to include a discussion specifically about growing lilies in crates, under glass, for a massive year-round sales program. Those of you who will attend the ASCFG regional meeting on September 11-12 are in for a huge treat. For the rest of you, we have a bonus video tour that the two Chets dad filmed and recorded for us. Listen: Chet and Kristy Anderson on the Slow Flowers Podcast - Episode 177 (January 20, 2015) Watch: Slow Flowers Member Meet-up with Chet and Kristy - April 8, 2022 https://youtu.be/3ksL77fmigA?si=mGKl-Usq_IYbtFOP The Fresh Herb Co. lilies Bonus: Lily Tips from The Fresh Herb Co.:Asiatic and Oriental Lilies are some of the world’s most popular cut flowers…..and for good reasons. They have been grown around the world for centuries, they come in a dizzying array of forms and colors, and they have an exceptional vase life of 10-14 days. A value flower if there ever was one! Asiatic Lilies are characterized by their slightly smaller bloom size, warm tone colors (yellow, orange, red), and little to no fragrance. Oriental Lilies, by contrast, have far larger blooms, are typically cooler tone colors (white and light to dark pink), and have an exquisite vanilla/nutmeg-like fragrance! If you have never tried lilies before, now is the time to buy a few bunches and see if they don’t become you...
