Floral arrangements are getting a new look Trending toward wilder, seasonal, local
By KATHERINE ROTH Associated Press Like a tiny green sprig reaching upward, it happened slowly at first. And then, suddenly, it was everywhere. A wilder, more seasonal and local look in floral arrangement is replacing the stiffer, more formal arrangements of a decade ago. Bouquets featuring grass or clematis, loose arrangements of flowering or fruit-laden branches, spare displays of flowering purple basil, sweet peas or bearded irises, or surprises like towering fenne, the trend reflects changes in aesthetics as well as in where flowers come from. “It was initially a trendy thing, but now it’s just the way things are done. It really goes hand in hand with the food movement,” said Barbara Corcoran, vice president of education at the New York Botanical Garden. The garden’s curriculum of courses has been modified over the past two years to adapt to the change in approach. Just as foodies have gravitated toward organic and locally grown foods, so floral designers and growers are spreading the gospel of seasonal and even foraged blooms, through workshops, books and blogs. “There’s a revolution taking
place. Farmers are connecting with florists, and designers with farmers. And a lot of designers are starting to grow their own flowers. We’re still on the front end of the big upswing in seasonal, foraged and locally sourced flowers,” said flower farmer and designer Erin Benzakein, whose Floret Farm is in Mount Vernon, Washington, about an hour north of Seattle. The trend toward local and seasonal flowers has really taken off in the last couple of years,
she said. “We’ve slowly created a global web of people doing this, and we’re finding that everybody now seems to be looking for roadside weeds, grandmother flowers. There’s a real desire for something real and local,” says Benzakein, who gives workshops and has written a new book, “Floret Farm’s Cut Flower Garden: Grow, Harvest, and Arrange Stunning Seasonal Blooms” (Chronicle Books). The book is co-authored by Julie
Chai, with photos by Michele M. Waite. Another new book on the subject, “In Full Flower: Inspired Designs by Floral’s New Creatives” (Rizzoli) by Gemma and Andrew Ingalls, features the work of two dozen of the movement’s biggest names. Especially popular now are delicate flowers, with blooms that last only a couple of weeks, Benzakien said. “That really gives local growers an edge,” she said. Floral designer Debra Prinzing created SlowFlowers.com, a blog and online directory of flower farms across the U.S. and Canada. She calls it the Slow Flowers movement. As with the natural foods movement, this wilder floral aesthetic has its roots on the West Coast, although some of its pioneers have taught or studied at FlowerSchool New York. “Foraged materials are cost-effective, seasonal, which is very important these days and add new textures and colors to the designs for florists,” says the school’s executive director, Calvert Crary. Ariella Chezar, a designer and flower farmer in upstate New York, is artistic director at the See Floral p. 2D
By KATIE WORKMAN Associated Press This is a Mediterranean twist on a classic Middle Eastern bulgur wheat salad, with very approachable flavors. It can be served as a side dish or a main course, and even as part of a creative appetizer or meze spread. It’s also a great portable dish, perfect for bringing to a potluck or serving outside for a Fourth of July gettogether. In this recipe, the bulgur “cooks” by soaking in liquid, absorbing fresh lemon juice along with the water. That really brightens up the earthy flavor (know going in that you need two hours to get the bulgur soft). It’s a great dish to keep in the front of your mind during the summer months when ripe tomatoes, cucumbers and fat bunches of herbs are readily available. This recipe is adapted from my second cookbook, “Dinner Solved!” GREEK TABBOULEH SALAD Serves 6 to 8 as a side dish Start to finish: 2 1/2 hours (2 hours unattended) 1 1/2 cups bulgur wheat 1 3/4 cups hot water Finely grated juice and zest of 2 lemons 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 cup finely chopped onion 1 clove garlic, finely minced 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves 3 tablespoons minced fresh mint leaves 1 teaspoon kosher or coarse salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1 seedless cucumber, diced (peeled or not, your choice) 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved 3/4 cup crumbled feta 1/3 cup slivered Kalamata olives 2 tablespoons minced fresh oregano Pour the bulgur into a large bowl and add the hot water and lemon juice. Stir and cover. Let sit at room temperature for 2 hours, until the bulgur has absorbed all of the liquid, or place it in the fridge for at least 4 hours. Add the lemon zest, olive oil, onion, garlic, parsley, mint, and salt and pepper to the bulgur and combine well. Stir in the cucumber and tomatoes. Add the feta, olives and oregano, and toss gently to combine.

FDA delays revamped nutrition facts panel
By CANDICE CHOI AP Food Industry Writer NEW YORK (AP) — A revamped nutrition facts panel designed to make it easier to see how many calories and added sugars are in packaged foods and drinks is being delayed. The Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday it plans to push back the deadline for a rule requiring food companies to use the new label. It’s the Trump administration’s latest delay of the Obama administration’s
rules intended to improve food labeling and make foods healthier and safer. The revised nutrition facts panel would make the calorie counts on packaged food and drinks more prominent, adjust serving sizes to be more realistic and specify the amount of added sugars in products. The labels currently list how many total sugars are in a product, including those that are naturally occurring, such as in fruit and milk. Previously, the FDA had given companies until July
26, 2018, to comply, with smaller food makers getting an extra year. On Tuesday, the FDA said it intends to give companies additional time to be in compliance. It did not provide a specific deadline. Spokeswoman Deborah Kotz said in an email that details will be released at a later date. The Grocery Manufacturers Association and other industry groups had asked for the deadline to be pushed to 2021, according to a letter sent earlier this year to
Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, who was appointed by President Donald Trump. The letter was obtained by the health advocacy group Center for Science in the Public Interest. In a statement, the Grocery Manufacturers Association said food and beverage companies want to help people make informed choices, but that the “fast-approaching compliance deadline” was difficult to meet without final guidance from the FDA on certain details.
Jim O’Hara, director of health promotion policy for CSPI, said that the delay will only cause confusion as some companies switch to the new label as planned, ahead of others. “The longer you draw this out, the more confusing the marketplace becomes,” he said. Candy maker Mars Inc., for instance, said it is still planning to start rolling out the new nutrition facts panel on select products in coming months and be in full compliance by next year.

EXPERIENCE COUNTS
school, which has begun offering “foraging tours” of France and Holland. It’s a big step away from the imported, cut flowers still sold in many florists’ shops. The concept is not entirely new, of course; weeds and seed pods found their way into arrangements for British royals in the 20th century, and the New York flower shop Madderlake and its bouquets of the ‘80s featured roadside weeds and dandelions. But the breadth of the change partly due to growing environmental consciousness is changing the entire landscape, experts say. Nicolette Owen of the Little Flower School in Brooklyn, New York, says, “People really want to feel more connected to where their flowers are coming from, and I love the closer contact between florists and growers. In my work, I’ve always been interested in creating arrangements that are a little bit wild. Part of that is highlighting what’s best in the season and what’s around you. “I want the beautifully imperfect, and don’t mind a few freckles on my rose,” she says. Rachael Burrow, style editor of Coastal Living magazine, says she first noticed “the wilder and looser trend in flowers popping up at weddings and in centerpieces a couple years ago, and now it’s really everywhere. “In our photo shoots now, we always go for more naturally arranged and locally sourced florals. It seems to flow better, and that’s the look everyone wants,” she says.
