Description
A growing community of Black floriculture creatives are leading the new vanguard in flowers.
Black Flora is the first book to feature profiles of contemporary Black experts innovating in the world of flowers. Author and longtime gardener, Teresa Speight, offers a beautiful intersection of flowers and community. This book is a homecoming, one that unearths the floral legacies of the past and present, while providing a source of inspiration for younger generations of plant-lovers seeking examples of successful Black floral artists and entrepreneurs.
With photos and insights from over 20 growers, florists, and designers from around the US, each with a deep reverence for nature, Black Flora showcases a range of floral expertise. And as visionary horticulturalist and garden historian, Abra Lee, reflects in her foreword, the community represented in Black Flora has an important significance both today, and in garden history. Lee describes how after the Civil War, many African Americans who were formerly enslaved went back into the ruined gardens which they had nurtured, and took cuttings and roots of the flowers to grow in their home gardens. It was these plants that formed the beginning of a crucial foundation in American horticulture, one that demands far greater recognition. Both a celebration of now and a vision for the future, Black Flora honors floriculture’s creative vanguard.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"We are not all the same. With each profile, Black Flora so beautifully captures the essence of what we embody as Black designers and farmers and the many facets of our professions. Black Flora explores the heart behind what we do by highlighting some of this very moment's dynamic flower artists and farmers." —Valerie Crisostomo, President and CEO, Black Girl Florists
"I believe Black Flora, like any art, creation, or work by Black people, is steeped in and deeply fertilized by the culture and experience of those who create and develop it. It celebrates the joy and exuberance of shared cultures and bloodlines as well as the past and present experience of being Black in America and in the world." —Pilar Zuniga, Owner and Lead Designer, Gorgeous and Green, and Host of @floristsofcolor
