Today we welcome Hannah Brannan of Gather Flora in the San Francisco Bay Area. Guided by the Slow Flower movement, Hannah created the Gather Flora web platform to connect local florists with regional growers. The site streamlines hundreds of orders between consumers and farmers, allowing for clear visibility into the seasonality, origins, and cultivations of each bloom. Her passion for flowers is the driving force behind the site, and her appreciation of the demands placed on farmers and florists is evident in everything Gather Flora does. Please contact them if you are interested in learning more about this kind of coordination in your region. I can’t wait to see how it grows! @violetear_studio @gatherflora @gardenpeoplepodcast L I S T E N https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-people/id1595934172 (iTunes) https://open.spotify.com/show/7qlYq5yVrLEgfCuZOtrPcn (Spotify) https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/garden-people (Stitcher) S H O W N O T E S https://www.instagram.com/gatherflora/ (@gatherflora) https://www.gatherflora.com/home (Gatherflora.com) The Flower and the B (now closed) (https://www.instagram.com/theflowerandtheb/?hl=en (insta)) https://www.wildflowerandfern.com (Wildflower and Fern) (https://www.instagram.com/wildflowerandfern/?hl=en (insta)) https://www.instagram.com/unfurleddesign/ (Sarah Reyes) (owner, Wildflower and Fern and http://www.unfurleddesign.com/contact/ (Unfurled)) http://www.nbflowercollective.com (North Bay Flower Collective) https://www.sanfranciscoflowermart.com (San Francisco Flower Mart), manager Jeanne Bose, (https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/threatened-with-tech-development-sf-flower-mart-allies-rally-for-city-institution/ (read about the SFFM’s relocation)) https://www.instagram.com/dorightflowerfarm/ (Kelly Brown), https://www.dorightflowers.com (Do Right Flower Farm) (the Gather Flora Hub in Santa Cruz, CA) https://www.instagram.com/bees_n_blooms/?hl=en (Susan Kegley), https://beesnblooms.com (Bees N Blooms) https://www.instagram.com/bees_n_blooms/?hl=en (Susan Kegley) (the Gather Flora Hub in Petaluma, CA) https://www.instagram.com/sidekickflowers/ (Seth Gowans), https://beesnblooms.com?p=3601 (Side Kick Flowers) https://www.instagram.com/sharlaflockdesigns/?hl=en (Sharla Flock), https://sharlaflockdesigns.com (Sharla Flock Designs) https://www.instagram.com/serenityflowerfarm/?hl=en (Serenity Flower Farm) https://www.instagram.com/strongarmfarm/ (Heidi Herrmann), https://www.strongarmfarm.com (Strong Arm Farm) https://www.instagram.com/floretflower/ (Erin Benzakein), https://www.floretflowers.com (Floret Flowers) https://www.debraprinzing.com (Debra Prinzing), https://www.slowflowerssociety.com (Slow Flower Society) https://www.ascfg.org (Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers) (ASCFG) https://code.org (Code.org) https://www.hackreactor.com/coding-bootcamp/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA15yNBhDTARIsAGnwe0X-95_Mj10yS6XGsAdZGHAu3TMiYPEE7ySVtCAy71vhH2CzMd4MLHoaAgULEALw_wcBandutm_campaign=HR_Brand_Keywords_NATandutm_medium=cpcandutm_source=Googleandutm_term=hack%20reactor (Hack Reactor) https://www.slowfood.com (Slow Food Movement) https://www.blumaflowerfarm.com (Bluma Farm) https://www.instagram.com/gorgeousandgreen/?hl=en (Pilar Zuniga), https://gorgeousandgreen.com (Gorgeous and Green) https://www.studiomondine.com (Studio Mondine) https://www.anniesannuals.com (Annies Annuals and Perennials) https://uprisingorganics.com (Uprising Seeds) (https://uprisingorganics.com/products/larkspur-white-cloud (white cloud larkspur)) https://www.instagram.com/borrowedgarden/ (Eleanor), https://www.borrowedgarden.com (Borrowed Garden) https://www.feralflorafarm.com (Feral Flora Farm) https://www.pucksgarden.com (Pucks Garden) (https://www.instagram.com/pucksgarden/?hl=en (insta)) https://www.instagram.com/lunariaflowerfarm/ (Gaby Lee), https://lunariaflowerfarm.com (Lunaria Flower Farm) https://www.fpfarm.com (Front Porch Farm)...
