They have been innovators in flowers, developing beautiful varieties that are completely gorgeous and grown on their farms. When we discussed the whole farm-to-table movement, this company lit up because they deliver farm-fresh flowers to flower enthusiasts all across the USA! So, a new partnership was formed – and a colorful one at that!
