When the world is spiraling, nonprofits give the world hope. However, we often falter when showing donors the difference that they made and make every day - and convincing them that they made the right decision to support us. That's where Lynne Wester comes in - thankfully! If you know Lynne, the Donor Relations Guru, then you know that she pulls no punches and does not hold back in her opinions, her expertise, and her generous advice. She is one of my absolute favorite speakers and thought leaders in fundraising, donor relations, and philanthropy.  Lynne's guidance has led organizations to be recognized on the national stage for fundraising innovation, creative communication, and groundbreaking donor relations work. In this episode, we dive deep into what Lynne calls "the gospel of gratitude" - how are we serving those who make our work possible? How can we look at people and truly value them - no matter how much they give to us? And how can nonprofits further inclusivity by making daily decisions, large and small? Here are some of the topics we discussed:Why the pandemic was actually a good thing for donor relations What are the ways that we can see giving through a DEI lens and practiceHer advice on coordinating in-person eventsWhy she encourages nonprofits to drop their giving societiesHow to create an "attitude of gratitude" instead of a "culture of philanthropy" A Lynne Wester quotable: "Everybody keeps saying they want a culture of philanthropy. I want a culture of generosity."And, one more: "We need to look at people and value them far more than their monetary gift."

In nature, flowers exist for reproductive purposes. But, for humans, they’ve been a source of awe and inspiration for centuries. For Georgia O’Keefe, they were her ever-generous subjects. In “A New Earth,” spiritual teacher and author, Eckhart Tolle, writes: “When you are alert and contemplate a flower, crystal or a bird without naming it mentally, it becomes a window for you into the formless. There is an inner opening, however slight, into the realm of the spirit.” The giving and receiving of flowers has traditionally symbolized love and a positive gesture towards intimacy. But, as with anything that is produced en masse, the floral industry has negative implications on human health and the health of our planet. So, the next time you go to the bodega, or the supermarket or even your local florist to buy flowers, I invite you to ask - where have these come from?That mystery is revealed this week during my conversation with Elena Seegers, a designer, botanist and florist, and an advocate for slow flowers, a movement started by florist Debra Prinzing for people who are interested in supporting local, domestically-sourced flowers. In this episode we discuss the dark side of imported flowers, why most conventionally grown roses don’t have a scent, the little-known, but toxic monopoly that is floral foam, the slow flower movement and the leaders of sustainable florals who are making a difference, and how to shop for flowers in an ethical way. You’ll also learn why Valentine’s Day is actually the worst time to buy flowers.This conversation blew my mind in the best way and I know you’ll appreciate this knowledge the next time you have the power to choose what and how you buy flowers!QUOTES:“You have to be a very peculiar person to work with flowers and not be fundamentally nice.” - Elena Seegers“If you have a band around the center of the world, that’s where most of the floral production happens.” - Elena Seegers“If you want a peony in January, they all come from Australia.” - Elena Seegers“Scent is costly to a flower in that it takes a lot of energy for it, so that the more a flower smells, the less long it will last.” - Elena SeegersConnect with Elena Seegers:Le Fleuriste WebsiteLe Fleuriste InstagramConnect with The Our Nature Podcast:Follow Our Nature on InstagramSign up for the Our Nature Newsletter: www.ournaturepodcast.comRESOURCES:New York Botanical GardensDebra Prinzing’s Slow Flowers PodcastMaterials for the ArtIn Defense of Plants PodcastPreston BaileyGarbage Goddess InstagramPsychology Today: Why Flowers Make Us HappyEmily Thompson’s Sustainable FloristrySHOW NOTES:On growing up in a small town in Southwest FranceThe story behind the creation of her blog - Le FleuristeHow an internship at the Ritz turned Elena away from traditional floristryBotanical Agency - Elena’s artistic practice working with plants on an exhibition-type basisAn introduction to the Slow Flower MovementWhat’s floral foam?
