April 12 Instagram Live: Flower Quality

Flower Quality

 

How can small-to-medium-sized US cut flower growers compete with cheap imported flowers? They cannot, and should not.

Instead, successful cut flower growers identify customers and florists who value fresh, long-lasting local flowers in varieties and shades that can't be found in any supermarket, and charge what their stems are truly worth.

Increasing your price per stem has an instant, powerful impact on your profit margin and topline revenue. But how do you command a premium price? By improving your flower quality.

Scott Shepherd, host of The Flower Podcast and longtime floral wholesaler, joins Farmer Bailey this Wednesday, April 12 for a Live talk (with Q&A) on Flower Quality.

Using market fresh Lisianthus, Snapdragons and Scabiosa as examples, Scott and Bailey will discuss why Flower Quality matters and how cut flower growers can achieve their best possible blooms.
