I have listened to Slow Flower podcast every since I started my business 4 years ago. I definitely look forward to each episode and value the informative information in each episode. I love Debra’s genuine love for the flower business and her sincere approach with each guest. Looking forward to the hearing the next podcast and using the podcast to grow my business.

I am not a pro flower grower, but I am an avid gardener and lover of flowers. I have also been interested in having a green burial for a couple of decades now and am a sustainability devotee. I found the podcast episode “Farewell Flowers” to be so informative and I learned a lot about sustainable flowers in general and the application to funerals in particular. I have shared this with friends just so they too can be aware and make informed plans for their final decision.

Feeling very blessed during this Lenten Season to have found this Podcast. Thank you, ladies kindly. You’re both gems. Thanks too for sharing the “hail storm.” 🤣🌱🕊

Debra asks the best questions and I love hearing the stories of flower farmers around the world! There’s so many creative ideas shared generously.

The floral and farming information that’s shared is fantastic! I’ve listened for years and have always found this podcast to be so interesting and informative. Sadly, It’s become too political. I just want to escape politics and listen to a great podcast about flowers from other humans who love growing, designing, and admiring them!

Where is podcast 159 with Ziegler? Cannot find. Thank you

Why are the episodes that are available on here only from 2020. When “All Episodes” is clicked on it doesn’t show anything past 2020.

Thankful For Deborah Prinzing and the slowflower movement . Excited to be a part.

Thanks for another behind the scenes look at the industry- really interesting!!

I have enjoyed listening to Debra and her guests. Her interviews are informative and inspiring and I particularly enjoy her year long “Fifty-States of Slow Flowers” series. As a small flower-farmer, I am excited to be learning best practices from leaders in the Slow Flowers community as well as tips and tricks for sustainability.

Debra and her guests have been keeping us company in the fields and along our delivery route for years! We love the slow flowers message and the growing community Debra and her crew are creating ♥️

I’ve just spent my day cutting flowers on my own cut flower farm while listening to this podcast. Debra is an excellent interviewer who takes us to all the farms we cannot visit and to far flung cities around the US, all to bring us the inspirational stories of farmers who have joined the “slow flower movement”. It is a joy to listen to. Thank you!

I listen to this podcast again and again, each time gaining new insight. Many thanks to all who have contributed and to Debra Prinzing for this wonderful education.

I felt the need to write a review today because I listened to two back to back podcast episodes that really spoke to me as a fellow flower farmer/florist. Debra’s ability to bring forth all the wonderful things going on in the movement of the American grown flowers industry is truly remarkable. She is such an advocate for all of us out there that are trying to bring local flowers to the forefront of our communities not to mention she gets us to collaborate with each other far and wide. Just today I reached out to a flower farmer in the state of Oregon because we both put on field to vase/farm to table type dinners that educate our communities on what is available and growing in their surrounding area. Want to know more About flower farming? You must listen to this podcast!!

I’ve been listening to The Slow Flowers podcast for years. From my early days of ‘playing’ with flowers, through building my floral business and evolving as a designer, these interviews have been an incredible resource. We get a chance to hear designers, growers and other flower folk in conversation. Debra asks questions relating to creativity, practicality and process and I’m always left inspired.

I really like the idea of this podcast, however, having listened to many episodes, the introduction always seems very scripted - a halting speech awkwardly read from a page. The host often seems unprepared for her interviews - searching for words or unsure of what questions to ask. There just isn’t much substantive information presented and it the conversations lack a certain energy and flow.

I have been listening faithfully for about a year and really getting a lot ouf of it until these last two or three episoldes which seem to be mostly about a political philosophy and very little about the business of growing and arranging flowers.I will only be listening sporadically or will fast forward past these interviews in the future.

Debra is doing so much for local flower growers and slow flowers enthusiasts! I enjoy hearing what farmers and florists are doing around the country, and every episode gives me new ideas or inspiration. The Slow Flowers podcast is my favorite soundtrack for starting seeds in the basement, weeding, transplanting and deadheading. With gratitude, April @ Flathead Farmworks, Montana.

The slow flowers podcast gets me over the hump each Wednesday! Debra Prinzing carefully curates the most up-to-date flower news and stories in the local flower movement. The information found here from the industry leaders and changemakers is inspiring and incredibly helpful!

The interviewed guests are great, but Debra has a tendency to interrupt and talk over guests. There have been quite a few times where she stops the flow of what the interviewee is expressing and great content is lost. I also feel she has a list of things she is going through instead of having a genuine listening experience. Otherwise I love listening to the guests and their stories. I will forever compare hosts to my favorite farm podcast host Chris Blanchard.

One of the best floral related podcasts out there! Debra brings on great guests and it is inspiring to hear everyone’s origin stories. The Slow Flowers movement is one of the utmost importance in today’s floral industry and I highly recommend taking a listen to get familiar if you aren’t already.

There is a reason why Debra Prinzing is called the mother of the Slow Flowers movement. She began advocating for American flower farmers long before it was a thought in the customer’s mind. She literally created a resurgence of small scale flower farms and advocates for them with florists and consumers alike. Debra finds the most interesting people in the Slow Flowers community and interviews them in a way that gives the listener great information. The interviews are quite casual (one was recorded during a car ride) which has a way of revealing that the guests are quite normal in spite of their creative genius or success in the floral industry. Every podcast gives me ideas on how to improve my business, inspiration to try new things, or validation that my experiences are quite normal. There is often a hearty laugh thrown in as well. Debra has an intuitive way of asking the questions the listener would ask as well things you would not have thought of but will be glad that she did. They are always useful, always informative and a rich resource for anyone who loves flowers.

I have listened to Slow Flowers for 2+ years and continue to look forward to the new weekly interviews. They are often educational, and always insightful. Thank you, Debra, for your continued work to advocate for local flowers across the nation.

I love this podcast and I love the information shared. My only complaint is how LONG it takes to get to the actual topic. I just spent 7 minutes and 25 seconds listening before she actually dove into the topic/interview. I understand taking a minute or two to speak about your website/advocate your cause etc...but almost 8 minutes? Come on.

Over the past few months, I've really enjoyed listening to your podcasts. Insights and glimpses of what goes on with the Slow Flower Movement is fascinating. As a 30 year veteran in the floral industry here in North America, it's surprising that I haven't been more aware of local growers. Thank you for encouraging the local farms to grow flowers that we can utilize so we can help "spread" the news of buying American Grown.

Thoughtful insights and inspiration!!!

An excellent window into the world of locally grown and designed flowers, "Slow Flowers" never disappoints. This podcast introduces aspiring flower farmers to experienced farmers and florists who are truly walking the walk. It enlightens any listener about the burgeoning revitalized local flowers movement and provides helpful connections to anyone in the industry. Debra's mission is consistent and her tone is delightful. A must-listen.

I love Debra Prinzing's outlook, energy and passion. Slow Flowers and American Grown Flowers as meaningful movements in our time and culture could not be more urgently needed and happily received. Debra's voice - one of intellect, insight and humor - are a weekly dose of happiness and hope.

This podcast is my inspiration each week. I actually look forward to Wednesdays, when a new episode comes out. The spectrum of farmers/florists/designers and other interesting people that Debra meets and interviews is wide, and Debra keeps it interesting and exciting. From a small local flower shop to a large floral wholesaler, and everything in between, the personal and informal nature of the podcast feels as though you're watching/listening right there. I always come away with a few new ideas. If you are involved in the flower community in any part, this is a podcast you don't want to miss.

The Slow Flowers Podcast features compelling stories that really paint the picture of the domestic flower movement. Just by listening, you feel a part of something. It's as if you're traveling the country with Debra, sniffing the roses and sinking your hands into the dirt. Not only does it showcase lovely and animated people doing compelling work, but the interviews are conducted so flawlessly and manage to pack so much information into a short conversation. Debra always seems to know what information I as a listener want to know - she asks the questions just as I'm starting to form them on the other side of the headphones. I truly look forward to each episode.

As a farmer florist, I love listening to the podcast each week. I know that no matter who that week's guest is (world class florist or small town farmer), I am going to hear about their perspectives, struggles, successes and upcoming projects and, undoubtedly, I will learn something that relates to my business. I always am left feeling inspired and hopeful about our industry and already looking forward to the next week's episode!

As an avid flower grower and floral designer I look forward to this podcast every week. Debra's interviews are thoughtful and relevant. I enjoy hearing from growers, florists, and advocates for American grown, local flowers.

Debra is a true visionary and leader. Her passion, knowledge and spirit match the love she has in her heart for American grown flowers and "it's" community. I learn so much by listening to the SLOW FLOWERS podcast. It is a weekly blend of: news, knowledge and whats next! As an artist somewhat new to the actual 'floral industry' this podcast in priceless, keep up the fantastic work Debra!

I’m not a floral designer, florist, or flower farmer, but I really enjoy Slow Flowers podcasts. Lovely stories of people across the U.S. utilizing and growing flowers in this country. If you’re a flower lover like me, you’ll enjoy listening to these stories come to life in this weekly podcast.

I am so impressed by Debra's podcast. Every episode I listen to I learn lots of great tips and sources, even though I am only a home gardener. The podcast is the perfect accompaniment to her blog, which also has tons of inspirational photos. Go USA!

Such a great series with plenty of inspiration and resources for new flower farmers and floral designers. So great to find my tribe!

As a veteran florist that started my floral career in the 70's, I appreciate the message & seeds of change Debra Prinzing is sowing. Her podcast, "Slow Flower's takes you to meetings with grower's in the USA & the UK, florist's & people who love growing, designing & marketing fresh, local flowers. Everyone should feed their soul daily with local natural botanica. You will be inspired to do so when you listen to Debra's podcast's.

So glad I found this podcast! Debra’s interviews are interesting, informative, and colorful. It’s the perfect way to spend the day in the greenhouse, as it connects me with a community of flower fanatics and sustainability-minded folks. In a word, I’m inspired!

Debra’s open and welcoming style really makes you feel like you are sitting in on a part of the conversation. Her unwavering support for flower farmers and florists around the country is so needed and admirable. For anyone in the industry, people interested in supporting our homegrown flower farms, or just anyone who loves flowers, this is an entertaining and interesting resource, chalk full of information. I look forward to every episode, and with each listen feel a closer connection to this vibrant industry. Thanks, Debra!

On long drives I tune into episode after episode of inspiring interviews. Thank you Debra for showing off what talent and dedication is behind so many farmers and designers. Every time I listen I gain new insight and admiration for those in the industry. Keep on sharing….

Loved getting to hear this behind-the-scenes interview and getting to know a local farmer. Way to go Debra for sourcing out these innovative producers who are starting businesses and finding a great niche. Regardless how you feel about local, flowers, or even agriculture, Debra shows us American entrepreneurism at its best here.

Love the casual apprach to the interviews. What better way to get aquanted with our local flower growers and designers.

Debra is Local American Grown Flower's Biggest FAN!! I've thoroughly enjoyed the interviews so far. Learned of so many new farms and flower associations! A definite must if you are in the floral industry.

As a floral designer in Philadelphia who strongly promotes the use of local flowers, I love Debra Prinzing's SLOW FLOWERS podcasts. Each podcast spotlights a leader in the local floral industry and tells the story of how they are making local flowers the center of what they do. Because the podcasts are interviews, you hear really interesting people tell their stories in their own voices and understand what they're about. The podcasts are remarkably in depth and cover the history of the business, their highs and lows, and the challenges they face. SLOW FLOWERS is wonderful both for keeping me and others like me inspired and informed about what's happening in American flowers, as well as for documenting a pivotal moment in the our history. If you are interested in joining the growing local flower movement, or if you just love flowers, these are the podcasts for you.

Great stuff! Debra continues to uncover treasures and bring focus to a fascinating topic.

Debra highlights the quality that is American Grown flowers. Her conversations with farmers or local flower advocates point out their authenticity, passion, and stewardship for the land. I look forward to each Slow Flowers episode. @kathinated

It's great to hear from local flower advocates

Debra continues to provide relevant and timely information on the growing momentum for American Grown flowers. As the CEO/Ambassador of the California Cut Flower Commission, I continue to support and monitor her efforts as a leading voice that encourages people to seek out more sustainable, locally grown, flowers. This Slow Flowers podcast is an excellent weekly resource that provides an opportunity to hear her voice and the voices of others who want to see flowers become as local as the food we place on our table. @kaseycronquist
