Florabundance and Growers in Carpinteria

The advanced girls in the Floral program took a field trip to Southern California to see where our flowers come from. We visited Florabundance a company that specializes in custom wrapping flowers. Instead of ordering a whole box of one flower, one can order through Florabundance and get only what they wanted in a box. Contact at www.florabundance.com

Then we visited Pacific Bouquets Inc. This company makes and ships european style Hand-tied bouquets. www.pacificbouquets.com

Myriad Flowers specializes in Hydroponically grown roses. They also have special Sweetheart roses. Their main competition comes from South America. Roses from South America usually have very large heads and blossoms, but sweetheart roses are small which makes them better suited for corsages and small design work. www.myriadflowers.com
