American Floral Alliance renews Life in Bloom Commitment
American Floral Alliance, formerly CalFlowers, has renewed their commitment of support for J Schwanke’s Life in Bloom. American Floral Alliance will continue as a Principal Underwriter for Seasons 10 and 11 - to be broadcast in 2028 and 2029. The show prepares new episodes about 1 year ahead of airing. Season 9 (also supported by American Floral Alliance) is continuing filming and editing this year, for an April 2027 premiere.
“The long-term commitment by American Floral Alliance is so important, as it really allows the show to plan new seasons with confidence, and with an eye towards operating as efficiently as possible - especially for location filming,” explains J Schwanke, host and creator.
Life in Bloom is a top lifestyle program, centered around flowers and broadcast on public television, reaching more than 116 million households in every state, on a weekly basis. The show is also available on streaming outlets.
“We are proud to remind the general public of the beauty of flowers, along with the health and wellness benefits flowers offer, just by being in their presence. We get so many pictures every week from fans who inevitably say three things - ‘I saw the show, I was inspired by it, and I purchased flowers to arrange’ – and then they include pictures of their creations,” says J. “The pictures are gratifying, and the stories they share are even more amazing – flower affect people’s lives in beautiful and unexpected ways - from a moment of calm to life-changing events that flowers help soothe. Proving what we in the industry already know - Flowers are powerful!”
The show is popular with local programmers of Public Television and Create TV, because viewers tune in.
“Stations are independent and CHOOSE to air Life in Bloom - it’s a choice - they are not required to do so, and we are very proud that they continue to schedule new and old episodes, because flowers deliver viewers!” says J.
“Here’s a new trend - consumers have tired of having to pay for so much of their entertainment, and the trend is a return to free programs,” noted J. “One result of American Floral Alliance’s support is that there are three+ hours of flowers on free network television every week in all markets - along with instant availability on streaming services, too. This keeps flowers in the forefront and top of mind for consumers.”
“We remain grateful and thankful for American Floral Alliance’s commitment to keeping flowers in the forefront with the general public. Their mission and the show’s mission are perfectly aligned – more Americans enjoying flowers more often. American Floral Alliance and J Schwanke’s Life in Bloom remind us all that flowers make a positive difference in the enjoyment of life, every day,” concluded J.
