would love to visit there.. but feel bad for the guy under the misters!!!

Thanks for this information, Joanne. All of the work that's done by hand is an eye-opener. I'll never complain about the prices of plants again.

Thanks Ladies. I love going to work everyday, except for the actual "work" part. I'm in front of a computer most of the day, but always go for a walk around to check things out. We have 8 acres under greenhouse roof and it is the most spectacular site just before the season takes off and everything is ready to ship. I do enjoy buying all the seeds, cuttings and plugs. It's like home gardening mail order on steroids...

sounds like a job for me!!

I really enjoyed this article. I have just finished reading 'Flower Confidential' which talks about the cut flower business; I recommend this book. It is indeed eye opening to see what goes on behind the scenes before we get our bouquet of roses (or basket of petunias) at a Big Box store.
Thanks for posting.

Thanks, Joanne. Good information.

Thanks for writing this article.
It is interesting how international or global, the plant industry really is.

Lovely article Joanne - thank you so much!

Thanks for this wonderful article, Joanne.

I had never seen photos of the growers business. I worked for a guy who bought geraniums and raised them for a local garden center. He told me about where plants were raised for the trade.
Very impressive to see millions like that.

yes it is!!

Joannabanana..this explains why your back yard flower gardens are always so beautiful! I always love your containers of those beautiful petunias.

Thank you Joanne, now I understand. .
Regards,
Masud.
