Behind the Bloom with J Schwanke and RJ Pole

Episode 2 - Companion Podcast to Episode 101 - Life in Bloom - The Pilot!

J Schwanke, RJ Pole Episode 2

This week on Behind The Bloom Podcast, I’m taking you all the way back to the very beginning — Life In Bloom Episode 101. We’ll revisit where it all started: the inspiration, the creation, and the mission behind the show. What does it really mean to live a Life In Bloom

I’ll share some behind-the-scenes stories from that very first day of filming. How we pulled the crew together, found the perfect location, and how my producer Kel and I collaborated to bring the vision to life.

We’ll also revisit single flower arrangements. I’ll tell you why I wanted that to be the very first flower project we featured on the show. Then it’s on to the Featured Flower — the Gerbera Daisy! I’ll explain why this bright, cheerful bloom was the perfect way to kick things off, the beautiful variety of colors it comes in, and some of the symbolism behind those vibrant petals.

Next we’ll shake things up with Flower Cocktail Hour — I’ll tell you how the Hibiscus Mojito became our first signature drink, and I’ll even let you in on where I find all those fabulous vintage glasses we use. 

We’ll also talk about the Recipes in Bloom segment with my very first Life in Bloom guest, Kim Carson. I’ll share a story from the very first flower crown segment.

There’s a lot packed into this episode — I can’t wait to share it with you, let’s go Behind The Bloom!
