Slow Flowers is a movement focused on the sustainable and local cultivation of flowers. It centers on choosing blooms that are carefully grown in harmony with the seasons and local environment.

In this workshop, you will create a beautiful small bouquet using Slow Flowers. You will experience how it feels to work with these sustainable flower and plant techniques that minimize environmental impact. The bouquet will be presented in a lovely small vase, allowing you to showcase it beautifully at home.

Instead of imported flowers, which are often grown and transported under environmentally harmful conditions, Slow Flowers emphasizes the use of native and seasonal blooms. This significantly reduces the ecological footprint.

Slow Flowers represent a mindful, eco-friendly approach to flower arranging, where each bouquet authentically reflects nature in its purest form. It pays tribute to local growers and the natural beauty of flowers cultivated sustainably.

This approach is gaining increasing support in society.
