Imagine an intimate dinner with friends and family members enjoying seasonal, sustainable and American Grown Flowers on the table and even in your meal. Here’s your chance to participate in a “Field to Vase” dinner coming to a city near you. There’s even a special discount for Seasonal Wisdom readers!
Origin Matters with Flowers
If you read Seasonal Wisdom frequently, you may have seen this story a while back about the popularity of Slow Flowers with Debra Prinzing. As she explained, 80 percent of flowers sold in the United States are exported. So, when you buy American Grown Flowers, you’re directly supporting local flower farmers in this country.
Just as many people now want to eat locally grown foods, they also want to enjoy the beauty of locally grown flowers too.
Recently, I was invited to attend an American Grown Flowers “Field to Vase” Dinner at P. Allen Smith’s Garden2Blog event. From the gorgeous local flowers to the delicious artisanal wine from Stargazer Barn, it was an unforgettable evening that warmed the hearts of everyone who attended.
A special highlight of our dinner was the hand-crafted flower wreaths that awaited each of the guests upon arrival.
We couldn’t wait to try them out! Shown here (left to right) are Kylee Baumle, Jenny Peterson and me sporting our flower wreaths and feeling a bit like spring nymphs.
American Grown flowers were featured prominently throughout the special event, from the amazing table arrangements to the food itself.
In fact, edible flowers from P. Allen Smith’s garden were picked just hours before our meal to be included in this fresh salad. It tasted as good as it looked.
