Partners

One of the great strengths of Grower Direct is the people and companies we have formed alliances with, who we like to think of as our "partners". In building these partnerships it has always been important for Grower Direct as a whole to get to know each and every one of them individually in order to establish a good working relationship and to ensure both sides understand the others needs and expectations.

 

Grower Direct and our PartnersIn this regard we have traveled to Miami and further south to Ecuadorand Colombia to meet with the owners and with the people who run each of their respective businesses. We have been well received on each occasion and been given personal guided tours of the flower farms or facilities in which growing and production takes place. It is very important that, while we establish good relationships with the suppliers, that we also see for ourselves that the product we purchase is grown in accordance with required specifications and that the facilities in which they are produced are of the highest standards. These partners have been more than happy to accommodate and are obviously proud of their end product, and with good reason.

 

In short, we strive to provide you, the consumer, with excellencein quality and superiority while still making fresh cut flowers an affordable every day event. Our partners are vital in making this happen by providing us with their services and their commitment. They make it happen. By meeting our needs they allow us to meet your needs!

 

To following is an outline of each of our major partners with whom we have established exceptional long-term business relationships and have been doing business with for many years. Doing so has allowed us to bring our customers what we firmly believe is the finest floral product available anywhere.
