• Natural Erosion & Weed Control
• Thoughtful Pest Control
• Composting & Mulching
• Solar Power
• Land Acknowledgement

How can you be a steward of the earth when it comes to your purchases of flowers 🌸 and foliage?
• Buy direct from your local farm or farmers market
• Ask for American grown from your florists or wholesalers

We agree! The flowers are amazing and we think it's because they are 💯 American Grown and were put together by a #dreamteam of volunteer floral designer and supporters!
🌿 A heartfelt shoutout goes to the amazing team and supporters, lead by Jennifer Reed and Kelly Shore, who volunteered their time this past week in Washington DC crafting stunning floral masterpieces for the First Lady's Luncheon. Your passion and talent shone brightly through all the beautiful arrangements and truly made the event blossom with beauty and elegance! 🌸 You showcased the beauty our homegrown 🇺🇸 farms can produce and transformed the over 20,000 stems contributed by farms from multiple states, into masterpieces that soared to new heights!
Special thanks also to Accent Decor for their contribution of vases and arches, to Smithers Oasis for providing the supplies and tools and DVFlora for logistics.
It's been an absolute joy bringing homegrown flowers and foliage to such a prestigious event. Here's to many more moments of collaboration ahead to forward the American Grown movement! 🌼
