The slow food movement (with its hundreds of thousands of members and supporters) has changed our relationship with the foods in our lives. Now the slow flower movement is changing the way we think about cut flowers: Yes, we'd all prefer fresh, fragrant flowers in our bouquets, not the chemical-laden lifeless blooms flown in from afar – but what to do in those seasons when not much is growing locally? Acclaimed garden writer Debra Prinzing challenged herself to create a beautiful, locally-grown bouquet for each of 52 weeks of one year (going beyond flowers to include ornamental twigs, foliage, greenhouse plants, dried pods, and more), to demonstrate that all four seasons have their own botanical character to be celebrated. She provides extensive design tips, bouquet “recipes” and region-by-region floral ingredient lists that can be found in all climate zones through the year. Slow Flowers is written from a DIY floral designer's point of view, to inspire anyone to go green and make a beautiful bouquet with what's at hand, no matter the season. The Garden Writers Association has recognized Slow Flowers with a 2014 Silver Award of Achievement

My background in as a Realtor, House Flipper, and Remodeling Contractor has prepared me to consul sellers in the best and most necessary preparations. People call me from all over the country to walk through their homes, or review their listing photos online. My special skills include a keen eye for the detracting features of a home that may keep it from selling. From pointing out clutter that sellers no longer see, to recommending new countertop materials in the kitchen, I've helped hundreds of homeowners over the years come to terms with what needs to happen to sell their home for the most money in the least amount of time.
