[QUOTE="country_gal, post: 5007314, member: 50180"] Speaking as a florist I definitely think there is a market for British grown flowers. Granted the flower Auction in Holland is second to none....The varities there are outstanding and they have the perfect conditions for growing large scale. Going and buying direct from the auction is one of my favourite things but I love buying straight of the lorry just as much. However people will support local grown. Anything tropical or unusual is out but for natural/gardeny type orders I know I would personally rather buy local/british gronw....but they are hard to come by round here. Before I sold my house I grew sweetpeas, alium, liatris spicata, hydrangea,spray roses to sell in the shop (I also had some beautiful variegated holly for making Christmas wreaths.) Customers loved the "local grown" touch. When I get land again I plan to do the same again. [/QUOTE]
