This episode was so much fun because I had not 1, not 2, not 3, but 5 guests that sat down with me to chat about a new book, “Where We Bloom”! Debra Prinzing’s latest book is all about stepping inside the places where flowers come to life. Inside the book, you get to peek into 37 flower-filled spaces of Slow Flowers designers, farmer-florists, and growers. On the show, Debra introduces her book and then we virtually stepped into 3 different spaces - ranging from small to large. Srini Perea from Kreative Hands, Maura Whalen of Casablanca Floral, and Kit Wertz & Casey Schwartz of Flower Duet shared their spaces along with their favorite details of each of their completely different environments.
Where do you bloom? What is your favorite aspect of your space?
Below is the podcast, video reply, and show notes:
