This is a
new idea from the UK to promote consumption of flowers and plants which is
being taken seriously by the UK industry and is supported by the director of
Southern Glasshouse Produce, the Flower Council of Holland and the Flower &
Plants Association in England. Derf Paton who is behind the idea also came up
with a great slogan “flowers work where words fail”. To say thank you
with flowers or plants or to end a dispute between neighbours (this should
also work well in our Italian condominiums!). In theory, the celebrative
day would be the 3rd Saturday in September, a dead period in the
market although in the UK there would still be an abundance of flowers in the
garden. Commercial Greenhouse Grower, E-mail: Green@actpub.co.uk |
