Most flowers on the market today are imported, mass-produced and
chemical-laden. The 50 Mile Bouquet introduces some of the
innovative voices of the dynamic new Slow Flower movement: the
organic flower farmers, the sustainably-motivated floral
designers...and the flower enthusiasts who are increasingly asking,
Where and how were my flowers grown, and who grew them? With
documentary-feature reporting and full color photographs, this
visually elegant book takes us into the farms and design studios of
these slow-flower folks to follow the green journey of the 50 mile
bouquet. This is the first book to spotlight this major
transformation in how cut flowers are grown, designed and consumed,
which closely mirrors the locavore/slow food revolution in the
culinary world. The 50 Mile Bouquet is the slow flower guide to
Organic Flower-Growing, Gathering and Design. Foreword by Amy
Stewart, author of Flower Confidential.
