Our CEO, Pat Dahlson, and our Director of Purchasing, Pam Uranga, went to Mexico earlier this month to explore sourcing wholesale flowers from that region.  They toured the flower growing regions and took some great pictures to share with you.  These pictures don’t tell the whole story, but give a flair of the local markets.  Hope you enjoy!

Here’s a wholesale bucket truck equivalent at the Tenancingo Flower Market.  This picture is a bit amazing to me.  How is all that stuffed so neatly and nothing is getting crushed??

Anyone need some glads?

I plan on bringing our readers all things flora and fun, mixed with some serious posts about business. I like to think of myself as pretty well-rounded - having passion for design (flowers, web, decor, etc.), marketing, photography, tech, and business. I'm huge believer in continual eduation, so I'm always looking for new ideas and hope to share that journey with you!
