Connecting You Directly to the Source: Our Holiday Hosting Workshop Recap We recently hosted an exclusive Holiday Hosting Workshop at our farm in Forest Grove, Oregon, with the aim of connecting our customers directly to the heart of our operations—the farm itself. Over the course of two enriching days, participants toured our fields, gaining first hand insight into how we grow and harvest products like Nandina and Ilex. This immersive experience allowed them to see the journey of our greens from the soil to stunning floral designs. Led by the talented Kelly Shore of The Floral Source and Jennifer Reed of Jennifer Designs Events attendees delved into: - Sourcing Strategies: How to select and order flowers efficiently while staying within margins. - Pricing Techniques: Methods for pricing arrangements competitively without compromising on quality. - Customer Insights: Understanding your target market to create designs that truly inspire. - Hands-On Design Sessions: Crafting fall retail and event arrangements using our sustainably sourced, American-grown flowers and greens. We're excited to announce that we plan to make this workshop an annual tradition! We look forward to offering more opportunities for you to connect with the farm, enhance your skills, and be part of a community that values sustainability and creativity. Stay tuned for updates on next year's workshop—we can't wait to welcome you! #FarmToFlorist #SustainableFloralDesign #HolidayWorkshop #ContinentalFloralGreens

🌸 Petal It Forward 2024 🌸   We were thrilled to participate in this powerful initiative on October 16th, celebrating the positive impact that giving and receiving flowers can have on our well-being.

At Continental Floral Greens, our mission is to elevate human happiness by channeling the beauty and innovation of nature.

Supporting Our Team Through Hurricane Milton As Hurricane Milton approaches landfall, our thoughts and prayers are with our farm team and everyone in its path. Suzie Nichols and her leadership team have been incredible throughout this process, ensuring everyone’s safety and well-being. They have coordinated with employees to create evacuation plans, shop for essentials, and provide support to those in lower-lying areas who needed to leave. Our focus now is ensuring the safety of our Florida colleagues. Supervisors will continue checking in, and once the storm passes, we’ll assess our farms and facilities. Please be patient in the coming weeks and coordinate with your sales representative for updates on orders and products coming out of Florida.   Our California team is standing by to assist and ensure that we can continue delivering great products and service to our customers. In the event of any unforeseen disruptions, we have the flexibility to shift shipping locations to maintain service continuity. Stay safe, and thank you for your support.
