For the past four years, two Canadian growers have made a podcast called ‘The Sustainable Flowers Podcast’. This podcast discusses sustainability in the flower industry.

The podcast talks about different subjects, such as field notes (best practices), growing, soil, compost, potting media, pesticides, floral foam etc. There are also episodes in which one variety of flowers takes the spotlight. Guests are invited regularly to talk about their field of expertise. Each episode can range between 15 minutes and 1,5 hours, depending on the subject.
