REVISITING THE CUT FLOWER GARDEN AHEAD OF AMERICAN FLOWERS WEEK
Next week – June 28 to July 4 – our country is celebrating American Flowers Week, celebrating American-grown flowers in 50 states. In celebration, Debra Prinzing, the founder of what’s known as the Slow Flowers LLC — who we interviewed last July — has organized a Slow Flowers Summit in Seattle, Washington on Sunday, July 2. There will be speakers and activities – shared food, shared flowers and shared philosophy. It’s been called a TED Talk day for flower lovers. For more information on the summit, please visit Jewellgarden.com for links.
In honor of the upcoming celebrations and the many benefits – emotional, economic and environmental — of locally grown flowers, this week on Cultivating Place we revisit an interview from earlier this year with a leader in the flower farmer renaissance underway: Erin Benzakein of Floret Flower Farms.
Benzakien is the name and face behind the beautiful and impassioned Floret Flower Farms, based in the Skagit Valley of Washington state. Floret is at the heart of encouraging and educating would be flower farmers on the whens why and hows of getting started and making a go of this new-again small farm based industry which is rooting itself across the country and even around the globe. Erin’s new book "The Cut Flower Garden" – aimed at new and beginning flower farmers — is out now from Chronicle Books. She joins us today via skype from the farm.

Loans and mortgages are essential financial tools that help individuals achieve their goals, such as buying a home or starting a business. A loan allows borrowers to access funds that must be repaid with interest, while a mortgage is specifically used to finance real estate. Many banks and financial institutions now provide detailed information through their official Website making it easier for customers to compare rates, check eligibility, and apply online. Understanding loan terms, interest rates, and repayment schedules is crucial before committing. By using trusted online platforms, borrowers can make informed decisions and manage their finances wisely.
