Join three regional flower farmers — Elle Sullivan (Mellifera Flowers), Chrystal Odin (Philadephia Community Farm) , and Liz Dwyer (Dancing the Land Farm) — to watch a screening of Floret Flowers’ film A Beautiful Pursuit and discuss the growing movement of domestic flower farmers shifting practices and building local agricultural community.

Local farmers play a vital role in our communities, but flower farmers often go overlooked. Flowers mark life’s most meaningful moments, and how the flowers are grown has the potential to offer far more than beauty–from climate mitigation to species diversification to soil health.
With U.S. consumers spending over $6.43 billion annually on cut flowers, why are domestic flower farmers so often forgotten? Join us to learn about this powerful movement and the tenacious growers blending art and agriculture to mark the memories of our lives.
