Debra Prinzing is a Seattle-based writer, speaker, leading advocate for American Grown Flowers and founder and creative director of the Slow Flowers Movement. Through her many Slow Flowers-branded projects, she has convened a national conversation that stimulates consumers and professionals alike to make conscious choices about their floral purchases. Please join us for her presentation of "AMERICAN BEAUTY: Seasonal and Local Floral Design from Gardens, Fields, Meadows & Forests."
Debra will speak about the significant changes in floral agriculture and sustainable floral design over the past 10 years that have built a community and renaissance among flower farmers and florists across North America. Her illustrated presentation will be followed by a floral design demonstration incorporating botanical ingredients sourced locally from area Rhode Island growers. Debra’s books will be available for purchase and signing after her presentation.
