Wreath of the Day – Using Our Ribbon

We have sometimes been accused of overbuying. In fact, we are often accused of overbuying, especially when it comes to ribbon. Every decorator is entranced with new designs, new color combinations, new textures, and as a result, over the past years we have been boxing and keeping more ribbon than was practical in our storage facility. This year a concerted effort was made to use what we had before buying more. At the end of this year’s project, we took a complete inventory and now know what we have and what we need to replenish next year. We will return next year with a streamlined collection of ribbon styles. The burgundy and gold ribbon below is perfectly echoed in the berries and “touch of gold” decorations.


Monday, June 26 – Tuesday, June 27 – Slow Flower Summit 2023

The Slow Flowers Summit will return to the Pacific Northwest, location of our original 2017 Summit. We will be hosted by the Bellevue Botanical Garden for two days of presentations, education, and an unforgettable floral takeover throughout the gardens.


We can’t wait to welcome you to this important regional hub for local, seasonal and sustainably-grown blooms. The Summit invites you to gather and learn from artists, innovators, thought leaders and practitioners whose commitment to domestic flowers will reinforce your mission and values!
