More about J Schwanke's Life In Bloom

"Research has shown the presence of flowers has an immediate impact on people’s health and happiness," says J Schwanke. "It’s been my life-long mission to show people how easy it is to incorporate flowers into their daily lives, and I’m excited to take viewers on a cross-country journey discovering thousands of varieties, growers and design ideas."

Each episode of J Schwanke’s Life in Bloom features a wealth of information and ideas as he takes viewers behind the scenes at flower farms and flower destinations across America, showing how flowers are grown and brought to market.
