Will you join us on 11 January - 15:00h at Place du Luxembourg in Brussels? Following the start of the Belgian Presidency of the EU, farmers, NGOs and concerned citizens will once again take to the streets on 11 January to voice their dissatisfaction with the European bill on new GMOs. Organic farmer Ruben Segers @kollebloem : « The present bill responds to the rhetoric of research institutes like the VIB and opens the door wide to biotech companies like Bayer. They will further flood the seed market with patents. As a result, farmers and breeders risk damage claims. For centuries, farmers have been propagating their own seeds, contributing to the most robust form of food security, this bill threatens to put them on the block. » You might say this is less important for flowers, but this is not just about what you get on your plate. This is about giant ecosystems and flowers - oh yes - are totally part of that! Join us on the 11th of January! #burstandbliss #seriouslynatural #absolutelyseasonal #botanicaldreams #belgischebloemen #flowerfarmer #flowerfarming #womenwhofarm #thefloralseasons #slowflowers #duurzameteelt #bloemen #soil #flowers #nature #flowergarden #flowerstagram #flowerphotography #flowerpower #beautygalore #saveourseeds #notogmo #nopatentsonourseeds

Wheatfield - A Confrontation by Agnes Denes After months of preparations, in May 1982, a 2-acre wheat field was planted on the Battery Park landfill in lower Manhattan, two blocks from Wall Street and the World Trade Center, facing the Statue of Liberty. Planting and harvesting a field of wheat on land worth $4.5 billion created a powerful paradox. Wheatfield was a symbol, a universal concept; it represented food, energy, commerce, world trade, and economics. It referred to mismanagement, waste, world hunger and ecological concerns. It called attention to our misplaced priorities. The harvested grain traveled to twenty-eight cities around the world in an exhibition called “The International Art Show for the End of World Hunger”, organized by the Minnesota Museum of Art (1987-90). The seeds were carried away by people who planted them in many parts of the globe. History repeating… Thank you @dish.club for the inspiration. Thank you @agnesdenes for letting reverberate this poignant urgency back then, now, always. #soil #wheatfield #agnesdenes #aconfrontation #saveourseeds #batteryparklandfill #freeflowofseeddiversity #diggingdeep #environmentalart #grainfield #climatechange #economicinequality

Mijn boerenhart wordt in zijn kern geraakt wanneer - terwijl wij waarschijnlijk met onze voeten onder de feestdis zitten - er gestemd wordt over een nieuwe zadenwet. Deze EU-zadenwet, in juli 2023 gepubliceerd door de Europese Commissie, is een ernstige bedreiging voor de vrije uitwisseling van zaden en heropleving van de diversiteit van onze gewassen. Deze zadenwet negeert het recht van boeren om hun eigen zaden te oogsten, te gebruiken, uit te wisselen en te verkopen, zoals vastgelegd in het internationaal recht. Dat betekent alleen maar meer winst voor de door u bekende bedrijven in de agro-industrie. Bij @fleurakker_csa gaan we prat op zaden die geteeld worden in een omgeving die gelijkaardig is aan die van ons veld. Deze zaden zorgen voor sterke, robuuste bloemen en een vergroting van de biodiversiteit. Het resultaat is opmerkelijk. Wil je ons, boeren, steunen? Klik op de link in bio (what’s in a name) die brengt je naar de mailactie van Demeter. Doe het nu, voor je aanschuift aan die feestdis! Tekst via @vitalerassen Zaden die wij gebruiken en ten volle ondersteunen: @lies_fleur.couleur dankzij @vitalerassen @debolster.biozaden @bingenheimersaatgut @lottta.nl enzovoort!

It’s always such a fuzz to make the right picture of that bouquet you proudly wanted to show to everybody. It just hardly shows what you see and feel in real life. That’s another lesson learned by our dear nature: enjoy the real moment and capture it with all your senses while it lasts! —- #burstandbliss #seriouslynatural #absolutelyseasonal #botanicaldreams #flowerfarmer #flowerfarminglife #thefloralseasons #slowflowers #flowerstagram #duurzameteelt #bloemen #bloemenplukken #soilhealth #naturalflowers #floralarrangement #flowerphotography #flowerpickinginthefield #pickyourownflowers #floraldesign

The first flower I discovered at an age where I was just able to read was ‘Muscari’. Here it is, as an ode to following your real dreams. Because often them dreams already come to you from childhood on. For me it took about 35 years to discover that. How long did it take for you? (Never too late!) This wonderful light blue version with a hint of rose is not the original version, but I cracked for it at our cooperative store Bees coop. They are carefully selected by @bloomit_bxl ! #botanicaldreams #floraldesign #flowerfarmer #flowerfarming #thefloralseasons #slowflowers #fleursdesaison #organicbeauty #soil #inspiredbynature #gardeninspiration #cuttinggarden #flowergarden #flowers #ecoflorist #nofloralfoam #designingwithplants #organicgarden #naturenurtures #plantpoetry #localandseasonalflowers #sustainablefloristry #muscari #followyourdreams
