Slow Flowers Summit coming to St. Paul to spread the word about local blooms - Minneapolis Star Tribune

Christine Hoffman is driven by her conviction that the floral industry should be greener. Her dedication and the resulting growth of the exchange are partly why the third annual Slow Flowers Summit will be held in St. Paul on July 1 and 2. The gathering, expected to draw up to 150 people, focuses on supporting American flower farmers by using local flowers in season. Debra Prinzing, the Seattle writer who founded Slow Flowers, compares the movement to the drive for local food. “This is a way for people to advocate for slower, sustainable, seasonal, mindful ways to have flowers in their lives,” she said. “It’s about who grew it, and is it in season. … If you can’t buy local, at least buy from growers in the U.S.” The floral industry is international, with an estimated 80% of cut flowers coming from South America. Growing facilities outside the U.S. tend to be less regulated and use more pesticides and chemicals, and the carbon footprint of shipping flowers from Colombia is considerably higher than shipping from California. The slow flower movement encourages buying even closer to home, if possible. ... http://www.startribune.com/slow-flowers-summit-coming-to-st-paul-to-spread-the-word-about-local-blooms/511637412/
