Mark and Andrew

Mark and Andrew are third generation flower growers and shippers working with Flora2000 for over 4 years. Their flowers are grown in the Canadian border region just next to picturesque Lake Erie and shipped direct to customers in Canada & the US. Here is a picture of them in their greenhouse with the latest crop of Gerberas. Hundreds of staff are involved in this process which includes planting, watering, pruning, harvesting, packaging and shipping. Computer systems and environmental control systems are heavily utilized ensuring only the best quality flowers meet customers. With Valentine’s Day approaching they and their team are working overtime to ensure that flowers are harvested in time, packed and dispatched in time for this extremely busy and important day. All the best guys…

Flora2000 best value for Valentine’s

For Valentine’s day, I did a quick comparison of our floral bouquets in the US & Canda with ProFlowers, 1800Flowers and FTD. It came as no surprsie that we offer better value than they do. Our secret, we don’t have hidden costs such as extra for vase, taxes and delivery surcharges. See for yourself:

June & Royston visit Flora2000

Our delivering florists in Singapore, June & Royston paid us a visit last month…Royston is a 3rd generation florist and is much acclaimed for his wonderful designs. We have been working together for 6 years and its been a real pleasure for us.

We were both excited about how much easier it is for our customers to order online, where they can get to see the flowers they are ordering and also receive immediate confirmation upon delivery. Singapore being a very technologically advanced country with high mobile penetration is also looking for ways to place orders through mobiles…something to work on in 2007.
