Viewers are responding to J Schwanke’s Life in Bloom by arranging flowers for themselves.
“I’m so pleased that viewers are taking the show’s message to heart and actually experiencing the benefits of flowers for themselves,” said Schwanke. “Being in the presence of flowers has scientifically proven physical and emotional benefits – and there’s nothing like discovering it for yourself through personal experience – and that’s what viewers are doing!”
“We kept getting pictures of arrangements that viewers have made – which were unsolicited. I was so happy to see them. That kind of activation demonstrates the show is really resonating with the public. Viewers are not only watching the show, they are trying their hand at arranging flowers, many for the first time. I love seeing the results – beautiful flowers around the home,” explained Schwanke, host and creator of J Schwanke’s Life in Bloom, seen on public television (PBS) stations nationwide.
Schwanke shared some pictures on the show’s Facebook page. He also shared the pictures with the show’s distributor, American Public Television (APT).
“My representative at APT suggested we include viewer arrangements in each episode of the next season – so that’s what we did. We show one to three arrangements by a viewer in each episode and conclude by inviting viewers to send in their flower creations,” says Schwanke.
“I’m also thrilled to share these images with the show’s underwriters, their belief in flowers and underwriting the show is having a profound effect. I am so thankful that CalFlowers, Albertsons Companies, and closed-caption funder Holland America Flowers are such incredible supporters – we couldn’t do it without their commitment to flowers,” concluded Schwanke.
“Now, as Season 5 episodes continue to premiere across the country, we have pictures coming in every day. I’m so pleased that viewers are taking the show’s message to heart and actually experiencing the benefits of flowers for themselves,” Schwanke continued. “I could go on about each and every picture, but I’ll let these viewer arrangements speak for themselves.”
Viewers may send pictures of their flower arrangements to J@uBloom.com.
