Slow Flowers Summit

Florists & Flower Lovers:
Are You Joining Us at
The SLOW FLOWERS SUMMIT 2019 ?

SLOW FLOWERS MEMBERS RECEIVE DISCOUNT PRICING!

Minnesota-grown summer botanicals held by Rachael Ackerman of Blue Sky Flower Farm, one of our Farm Tour Hosts on June 30, 2019, during the Summit Pre-Tour.

The Summit is for Floral Designers!

Debra Prinzing created the Slow Flowers Summit for progressive florists and designers who believe in a sustainable approach to their art and who align with the Slow Flowers brand.
Meet the talented Floral Designers you'll hear at the Summit:

Louesa Roebuck, artist, designer and author of Foraged Flora, will co-present "The Art & Ethics of Foraging," followed by a collaborative and interactive botanical installation with Minnesota-flora -- and you're invited to participate in this all-hands-on experience.

LOUESA ROEBUCK is the co-author of the acclaimed book Foraged Flora, published in 2016. After studying printmaking at Rhode Island School of Design, she moved to California in 1997 and began working at Chez Panisse. Louesa later opened August, a seminal and before-its-time fashion, art, and community hub.

Ten years ago, she returned to her lifelong love of foraged and gleaned floral work, which has been her recent medium of choice, followed closely by monotypes. She divides her time between the Bay Area and Los Angeles and currently lives in Ojai. Her floral work has been featured in Vogue, C Magazine, Remodelista, Sunset, Martha Stewart Living and the Los Angeles Times.

Carly Jenkins of Killing Frost Farm in Missoula, Montana, will join Louesa as co-presenter of "The Art and Ethics of Foraging," and she'll share her unique experiences selling foraged goods in the floral marketplace.

CARLY JENKINS grows cut flowers with her partner Jamie Rogers in the Potomac Valley near Missoula, Montana, serving Western Montana's wholesale market as well as event planners and DIY brides.

They also make wreaths and other seasonal design pieces from October until December, using 100% farm-raised or foraged botanicals.
Carly designed a magnificent botanical couture look for 2018 American Flower Week campaign featuring foraged moss, lichen and cones (show here (c) Alex Brooks).
She teaches creativity and design to fellow flower farmers, including the 2018 Pacific Northwest Cut Flower Growers and a session on large-scale, foam-free installations with Jeriann Sabin of Deadhead Cut Flowers.

Whit McClure of Los Angeles-based Whit Hazen, is our Capstone Speaker, sharing her story of "Floral Activism" as she demonstrates her signature floral styling.

Studio Floral Designer WHIT MCCLURE moved to Los Angeles three years ago and she has been designing with flowers ever since. Her introduction to flower farming and floral design is rooted in connections made through food justice and the local culinary community in Washington, D.C. Whit spent years after college working on farms, in community gardens, and in the nonprofit world, teaching folks of all ages and walks of life how to grow their own food. She finds floral design as the perfect blend of working with plants, crafting beauty, and collaborating with others, while remaining committed to social justice in her free time. Ever-inspired by nature’s abundant beauty and driven to respect and protect its resources, Whit is motivated to bring more beauty in the world for others.

Raves & Reviews

I was looking for a refresher floral design class, where I could build on the skills I learned years ago and learn new skills, and that’s exactly what I found. Christina is a talented and knowledgeable floral artist and instructor who presents a well prepared curriculum. I was pleased with the abundance and variety of flowers we were given to work with, the tools we were given and the pleasantness of the classroom. The 12 day class I took is not an easy workshop style course. I was challenged and at times discouraged, but I learned so much and was delighted with many of the designs I was able to make with Christina’s instruction and guidance. She won’t let you off easy, and even asked a classmate to throw her design in the trash and start over(!) but I liked that, because I was there to learn and learn I did! She sometimes questioned my choices and placements when I was headed the wrong directions with a design but she didn’t give up on me or my designs. I also learned a great deal about the marketing and business side of the profession. I believe with hard work and ongoing practice this class could prepare a student like me to work in the floral industry. I have gained a connection with a world-known floral artist who is willing to offer ideas and advice in the future. I have benefited greatly from the resources Christina shared with us in the form of websites, email lists, floral design books and connections with wholesale houses. I would love to go back someday and take some of the specialized design classes she offers. The class was worth my time, effort and money. I would highly recommend it. Receiving my completion certificate at the end was very rewarding for me!
The flower classroom is a place to study serious floral design in a fun relaxed atmosphere. It is for those who want to become a professional florist to for those who just want to improve their designs for personal use. Tammy Ivy
Dear Miss Tina, I would like to tell you how much I enjoyed your class. It was such a wonderful experience. I had looked for such a long time to find a class where I could learn more about floral design. I could not have imagined a class such as yours! From flower processing to design elements; your teaching style allowed me to learn and understand so much more about this creative field. I am forever thankful to you. You have given me a great deal of insight into the floral industry, and opened my eyes to endless possibilities for myself. Thank you for sharing your gifts with others! Sincerely, Errica Parsons
Learning from Christina has been so helpful in so many ways. She is very willing to give good advice in order to help you achieve whatever your floral dream might be. After taking the 12 day basic floral design class I am happy to continue to invest in myself and take her 5 day advanced class also. At the end of the day, you go home with beautiful floral designs that you are also proud enough to give away. I feel blessed to have found her. Vicki Gayle
Anyone wanting to learn about floral design should enroll in the "explore floral design" series of classes. Christina's "Explore Floral Design " classes cover every aspect of floral design from the proper handling of fresh floral materials, the materials used in floral design,color and design theory,the mechanics of floral design as well as the "business of floral design. The course content is well organized. The studio setting is pleasant with more than adequate space and equipment. Christina supplies the clases with a wide variety of materials for studetn use. Group instruction is enhanced with a one-on-one guidance as needed. If you have an interest in floral design, you'll be glad you enrolled. Beth Ball
Christina knows flowers and the flower business! At the flower classroom she will teach you in an easy, laid back and practical style. Lee Ann
Christina I can't thank you enough for this wonderful experience with you at the flower classroom. I have grown so much professionally. I feel like a butterfly with new wings. :) I would love to continue to work with you and learn from you. You are the best! Lee Ann
Christina is an amazing instructor! What makes a great instructor? Competence in the subject , ingenuity & creativity, the ability to understand & work with people, the desire to share,give time & effort to support others in achieving high level skills. This defines Christina and the experience you will have as a student in her classroom's explore floral design class. Knowing nothing about handling fresh cut flowers,however I graduated after 10 weeks with a well-informed knowledge base, hours of practice at a newly acquired skill and a mentor for life!! Thank you, Christina from Sheryl Ewert (student)

Groupon/Christina M. Burton AIFD is an amazing instructor. Would consider further classes at flower classroom.
Groupon/Such a fun class. Beautiful flowers. Really learned alot about floral design and care for floral arrangements.
Groupon/Had a wonderful time with Christina, she is a great teacher and explains the art of arranging so I could understand. We all after her instructions were able to complete a beautiful bouquet to take home.
Groupon/The class was so educational and entertaining. Only 6 people can attend each session so you get hands on attention and instruction. The owner is very nice and is a great teacher. The project you leave with is beautiful.
Explore Floral Design class is a great way to learn the basics of floral design. Christina is an amazing teacher. I loved this class and am looking forward to taking her advanced classes. Shaina Jo Maag
Explore Floral Design class was wonderful. If you want to learn about designing flowers this class is a must. Christina breaks the content up into very managable pieces & continues to give suggestions on techniques to embelish your design. In the course you are exposed to all the greens and flowers that exist in the current market. Step out of the box and explore flower design. You will enjoy the class, Joyce Mc Mahon
