VMS: Talk Mums With Us

It’s almost that magical time of year again. The one where mums take center stage. And the best part? You don’t even have to leave your living room to enjoy it. On Wednesday, November 13th, the Virtual Mum Summit returns, bringing together growers, designers, and flower lovers for a full day of inspiration, learning, and fun.

This year’s line-up is shaping up to be something special. Our friends at Sunny Meadows will be joining us to share all about their cut flower production program, giving us a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to grow mums on a large scale. We’ll also hear from a grower friend down in Florida who faces a totally different set of challenges with their southern climate and still manage to produce gorgeous mums. It’s always fascinating to see how location shapes the way these flowers are grown.

On the design side of things, we’ve got a little friendly competition planned. A group of talented florists will all receive the exact same mums and then show us how differently they approach creating with them. It’s always so fun to watch creativity unfold in real time, and I promise you’ll walk away with fresh inspiration for your own designs. We’ll also have a designer sharing tips on how to make the most of mums’ incredible staying power in arrangements, proving once and for all that these blooms deserve a permanent spot in every designer’s toolbox.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a mum summit without digging into the nitty-gritty of growing them. We’ll be covering the whole journey from cuttings to harvest, talking about how to handle pests and diseases, how to know when it’s time to cut, and which varieties shine in landscapes versus cut flower production. If you’re serious about learning how to grow and enjoy chrysanthemums, this is where you’ll want to be.

And just for fun, we’re taking you along on a little field trip to soak in even more mum magic. Because honestly, what’s a summit without a chance to just delight in the beauty of these flowers?

So mark your calendars for November 13th and get ready to spend the day diving deep into the world of chrysanthemums. Whether you’re here to sharpen your growing skills, learn design tricks from the pros, or simply surround yourself with a community of mum enthusiasts, this summit was made for you. Best of all, you can enjoy the whole thing from home—cozy socks, hot drink, and all.

Snag your tickets today, and get ready to join us for a day full of learning, laughter, and lots and lots of mums.
