    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
    2024/09/25
    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.

    2024/09/18
    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!
