The Slowflowers.com website announced the inaugural Slow Flowers Summit, a one-day conference on July 2, 2017 in Seattle to promote local, seasonal, and sustainable flowers. The Summit will feature presentations and panels from authors, designers, and industry professionals on topics like diversity in floral design and the evolution of the American floral industry over the past decade. Tickets for the full day of programming are $175 and include meals, with an optional $45 ticket for the evening dinner session. The goal is to stimulate conversation around conscious choices for domestic flower purchases.
