COUNTY BLOOMS

Season One

It all started in Peterborough County. Premiering on Bell Fibe TV1 in 2023, the first season followed Jen as she travelled close to home, meeting the growers, designers and entrepreneurs behind the region’s vibrant flower scene.

The series went on to earn a 2024 Canadian Screen Award for Best Host, Web Program or Series, planting the seed for everything County Blooms has sprouted since.

COUNTY BLOOMS

Season Two

For Season 2, County Blooms hit the road. The series expanded beyond Peterborough County for a flower-powered adventure across Ontario and Québec, with Jen meeting an eclectic cast of growers, artists, makers and innovators along the way.

Bigger in scope and ambition, the season earned multiple awards including three 2026 Canadian Screen Awards: Best Host, Web Program or Series (Jen Pogue), Best Picture Editing, Web Program or Series (Jess Graore) and Best Web Program or Series, Non-Fiction.

COUNTY BLOOMS

AFTER DARK

Launching Fall 2026, County Blooms After Dark takes the colourful world of County Blooms somewhere darker and stranger, while letting its signature whimsy and fun bloom even brighter.

In Curses & Cures, eerie floral folklore comes to life as we venture into the witchier side of the garden, exploring folk magic, ancient superstitions and the mysterious powers – and dangers – long associated with nature.

Then, Poison Petals turns a holiday special on its head with a campy true-crime mockumentary where beautiful blooms, picture-perfect traditions and (gasp!) murder collide.

Blending documentary-lifestyle, and scripted storytelling, County Blooms After Dark uses flowers and plants as a gateway into stories that get a little weird, a little wild, and a lot more fun – after dark.

LIVED EXPERIENCE. OUT LOUD.

Some conversations stay with us long after the event ends.

As a speaker, moderator, facilitator, and patient advocate, Jen brings candour, humour and thoughtful perspective to conversations that aren’t always easy to have. Drawing from her own personal experiences alongside years spent listening to and engaging with others, she invites openness, challenges assumptions, and creates a softer space for the harder things that need to be said.

ABOUT JEN

A person is sitting on a wooden dock by a body of water, reading a book, with trees in the background.

Jen Pogue (she/her) is a multi-award winning multidisciplinary storyteller, producer, actor, host and writer whose career moves fluidly between creating her own work, bringing other people’s projects to life and finding new ways to connect with an audience.

She began her career as an actor, with credits spanning genres and platforms including Apple TV, Netflix, CTV, CBC and Disney. Her work gradually expanded behind the camera, where she has contributed to dozens of short- and long-form projects as a producer with Filmcoop Inc., a female-led collective dedicated to independent filmmaking.

That curiosity for craft and storytelling also led Jen to pursue an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from the University of King’s College, where she received the 2026 Lieutenant Governor’s Gold Academic Medal. Her love of conversation and community has carried through much of her work, from co-creating and co-hosting the award-nominated podcast Women on Screen Out Loud to becoming a 2024 TIFF Television Accelerator alumna.

Jen also serves as Director of Industry at the Canadian Film Fest, developing programming and initiatives that support Canadian talent. Whether performing, producing, writing, interviewing or bringing people together, her work is rooted in curiosity, connection and creating space for stories and perspectives that deserve to be heard.
