The Ultimate Guide to What Would Wayne Do...
One of my main missions at The Flower Nook has been to educate people about the floral industry as a business. A resource I follow for the latest and greatest news is the America Floral Endowment organization. The people at AFE are always trying to find ways to share floral knowledge with the public, such as the recent presentation: Murder, Sex and Greed at their annual fundraising dinner.
AFE is an independent nonprofit organization that funds various research and scholarships in the floriculture and the environmental horticulture fields. Their organization produced a short video which reviewed their efforts to support a longer lasting product, promote training and create a stronger foundation for future industry leaders.
Their video production launched an eye-opening educational approach for the floral industry. In the video, AFE covered the positive impact of research on critical industry problems such as controlling pests. This approach was very proactive using "Guardian Plants" instead of chemical pesticides.
In an attempt to take their message to the consumer, AFE ran a month long contest on Facebook encouraging fans to watch and review AFS's animated Murder, Sex and Greed awareness video. The contest generated 925 views, 56 Facebook likes for AFE and 7, 879 overall impressions.

After 30 years in the floral business, I still love what I do and I love learning more about it. I want to share with you the nature of the floral industry so you can also explore a deeper understanding and joy of this wondrous world of flowers and plants.
Please come back and "see us" soon. I will be waiting!
