The Business has been operating for almost 10 years (almost 5 years by the current Owner)

Arrangements are in place to supply 3 wholesalers and 6 florists with greenery on a regular weekly basis.

Week-to-week volume requirements are stable with peak in demand for Valentines Day and Mothers Day.

Other events such as weddings, births, funerals, birthdays etc ensure demand for these florist products.

The business has continued to grow over the past few years - despite tough economic times!

E.g. Sales Figures

July 2009 - Feb 2010 (8 months)  $105,500 (includes 4 weeks off for holiday)
