Amy Stewart’s book “Flower Confidential” is out! This has been fun to watch as I have followed her over the last year, so to see the book finally come to fruition is great.

I first found out about Amy when she noticed my blog here. I followed the link over to her blog and found out there was a lot more going on with garden blogging than I realized.

The floriculture business has many of the same issues as the garden center business. Especially on the independent side the small and medium size florist is competing with grocery stores and chains like Costco that sell cut flowers. I am sure the floriculture industry is going through some major changes and it will be interesting to watch as they do it.
