The sixth annual Slow Flowers Summit welcomed 145 attendees to the Bellevue Botanical Garden (BBG), an idyllic Pacific Northwest public garden located just outside Seattle. From the delicious pre-Summit Dinner on the Farm to the closing reception and tour hosted by Seattle Wholesale Growers Market and Mayesh Wholesale Florist, there was a notable spirit of collaboration and community -- and a celebration of local flowers -- in the atmosphere.
