Recently flower farmer/florist Aishah Lurry of Patagonia Flower Farm caught our attention in her series of Instagram posts (@patagoniaflowerfarm) highlighting the stories of her fellow Arizona cut flower farmers. That led us to listening to her interview on Debra Prinzing’s Slow Flowers Podcast (find it here).

Podcast host Debra Prinzing’s new book,  Slow Flowers Journal – Volume One

The episode covers how Lurry went from Boston city life to organic micro flower farming in the mountains of Patagonia, Arizona; how she grows tulips hydroponically in the desert; and the joys of lisianthus. She also talks about expanding her subscription bouquet delivery service to new areas and her efforts to bring the state’s flower-farming community together. If this episode perks your ears, you will want to catch up on the rest of Prinzing’s Slow Flowers Podcast series. As our longtime readers will remember, Prinzing is a former columnist for Flower magazine. In addition to her podcasts, she recently came out with a new book Slow Flowers Journal – Volume One (Wildflower Media, June 2020), a collection of her essays about the Slow Flowers Movement for Florists’ Review.
