Flower Grower Collective Hubs
Our hubs bring together florists and growers all across the UK and is true demonstration of what can be achieved when flower buyers and sellers work closely together.
The Flower Grower Collective encourages collaboration, community and creativity in continuing to make routes to market smoother. Use of our trailblazing platform allows florists to buy flowers from multiple growers in one digital space, saving huge amounts of valuable time. Flower images are true to life, and cut straight from the field for your order.
Growers sell their flowers in bunches of multiples, allowing you complete control over your order, and reducing flower wastage. If you are used to buying local, and the love the surprise of a mixed bucket, don’t worry, these are still available to buy online too, directly from the grower.
As with all online shops your order is paid for at the point of purchase giving you complete clarity on budgeting and no back dated invoices to file. There is no easier, faster way to order fantastic, local flowers from multiple growers.
