The Slow Flowers Summit is a conference for creative professionals, thought leaders and pioneering voices in the progressive Slow Flowers community. Designed to stimulate curiosity, examine conventional assumptions and explore conscious and ethical practices in the floral industry, the Summit agenda asks speakers and audience members alike to inquire, inform, include, instigate and inspire.

This year’s online Worldwide Summit is our first ever, inviting attendees to join us from across the international Slow Flowers Movement. Inspired by the great success of the previous seven live, in-person conferences, Slow Flowers Society is staging an expansive and inclusive Slow Flowers Summit for attendees across the globe!

This event will take place over three days early in the New Year – perfectly timed for floral professionals and flower lovers to fill their toolboxes with skills and techniques, and to uplift their goals and ambitions for the coming season.

Eileen will present “Cutting Garden Planning and Floral Design Demonstration.”

Eileen takes us on a tour of the two areas where she grows cut flowers, including the cutting garden at East End Market in Orlando, a culinary farm-to-table food hub, and in her own FarmGal Flowers garden. We’ll learn how and why Eileen grows almost exclusively in raised beds! Next, Eileen brings us into her charming cottage design studio as she discusses its compact layout and efficient storage elements, which also accommodates small-group workshops. She continues with an inspiring floral design demonstration that incorporates roses, dahlias, herbs, and fruits into her arrangement – all of which she grew in the cutting garden.
