*DATE CHANGE*
Grower - Florist Meet up
MAY 15th 2:00-5:00pm

FLORISTS - Your biggest asset is your relationships with your growers and suppliers. Do you know them? They are the ones that come through with amazing product that make you shine! Do you tag your growers on Social media?

GROWERS- We want to meet you and know you, find out if you take preorders, if you have an availability list, tell us about you! And you should know your customers! Do you follow your customers on social media?

We don’t have a-lot of time before Mother’s day, Graduations, Wedding Season and an explosion of flowers is upon us. This year is also forecasting to be a challenging year. Let’s find a way to work smarter and not harder.

The time is never matching with the obligations of florists or growers, but please find time to join us in an early happy hour meet up in the Creative Space at the Portland Flower Market May 15th, from 2-5:00pm. We will have a small presentation of what the PNWFA is doing in the community to try and bring Flowers into the spotlight, and the event is mostly to network.
We look forward to meeting you all!
RSVP on the PNWFA website or email us if you plan to attend! https://www.pnwflorist.com/events/events-list/#!event-list. #portlandflorist #portlandflowergrowers #oregonflowergrowers #oregonflorists #portlandweddingflorist #pdxflowers #pdxflorist

“ I was hired by Billy Brown in Jan 2016 to do processing every Sunday. I quickly moved up to supply sales within a few months.
My favorite part of my job is taking care of all the beautiful ribbon.
I’m so appreciative of all the times we get together with my co-workers. Parties in the park, bowling, roller derby and lots more!
Many of the people I work with are like family to me.
I will miss my customers tremendously!!

Come celebrate with the end of the year with your floral community and toast the retirement of Janet Foss with J. Foss Garden Flowers. She will be greatly missed @oregonflowergrowers where she served on the Board.

J. Foss Garden Flowers, began back in 1981 with 2 crazy 25 year olds who wanted to farm. Janet and Jim. Janet loves flowers and finding fun things to grow, Jim loves making money so they put their talents together, to find lovely sellable floral products. Located in Chehalis Washington on the Newaukum River. Janet helped start the Seattle Flower market and has a wealth of experience in the industry. We are going to miss her and her beautiful flowers!!! #oregonflowers #washingtonflowers #oregonflorists #washingtonflorists #pdxflorists #portlandflorist

Join us Friday from 1-5:00 as we celebrate the end of year and toast Tammie Mullikin. Tammie’s venture with the Portland Flower Market began in 1995. A reluctant move made from Denver CO.
“This market had a very different vibe for me. They're way of wholesaling flowers was definitely something I was not accustomed to. It took a couple times of employment here throughout the years to finally realize this was the place for me and I was committed to making the floral industry and
Frank Adams my career.”
Over the years, I have made so many friends and acquaintance's. I have worked with so many talented, wonderful people, I can’t even imagine how my life would have been had I chosen adifferent career path. I met my husband in
this industry. I feel so connected with the local floral community making my time here so rewarding and fulfilling.
I will close this chapter in my life with memories of years past and reflect on how much impact working in the floral industry has shaped me and who Iam today. Frank Adams and the entire Portland Flower Market wil always have a lasting impression on me. Thanks for al the memories!”

We are so excited to announce a new addition to the PNWFA Board of Directors Sage Marcella @sage_ashley

“What I love the most about being a florist is the never ending, always revolving selection of colors and textures you get to play and design with. Just when you are starting to get tired of some flowers there season ends and a new seasonal flower has arrived on the scene. In addition to this, growers, always seem to be pushing the caliber by introducing and perfecting new varieties or colors or flowers, and wholesalers are always bringing in new blooms from far away places like Japan, or New Zealand, or the dutch market etc… 20 plus years playing with flowers and I continue to be inspired by new ones each season and each year. I love that my job as a florist keeps me surrounded by all this beauty, and I love getting to share this passion for flowers with customers, clients, and fellow floral enthusiasts.”

Introducing our Director of Mentorship, Françoise

Introducing our Director of Mentorship, Françoise Weeks. @francoiseweeks “After being a wedding/event florist for 17 years, I have truly enjoyed teaching and sharing a lot of information to many florists and flower lovers for the last 10 years.. Explaining mechanics, letting students choose the materials that speak to them and watching everyone's creative process makes my heart sing. Flowers are magical as they evoke so many emotions for the recipient and the designer alike.
It takes a lot of courage to start a business, but I never looked back and am so grateful to be part of the flower industry." #woodlandflorist #portlandflorist #pdxflorist #pnwflorist #floristworkshop

Introducing our Vice president and treasurer of the PNWFlorist association, Jordan Gladow @blumpdx “It's hard to narrow down what I love most about being a florist! As a wedding and special events florist I really love the seasonality of project based work. This profession is also filled with a huge amount of variety. No two days are the same and I'm lucky to work daily with a diverse group of people from farmers, to clients, to vendors, to fellow florists. And then, of course, there's the beauty that comes with working with flowers as a medium. Flowers are often challenging in their impermanence but I don't think there's anything as tangible that's so beautiful. You may not be able to catch a shooting star but you can hold the perfect peony in your hands.” #pdxflorist #portlandflorist #pdxweddings #portlandweddingflorist #oregonweddingflorist #smallbizpdx #pnwflorist #pnwedding #pdxweddingflorist

Introducing our board president of the PNWFlorist

Introducing our board president of the PNWFlorist association, Sarah Helmstetter @solabeeflowers “I enjoy being a florist mostly because of the variety of distinct floral seasons we have here in Oregon. It allows me to not only work with a number of wonderful local growers, but it also creates a sense of excitement for each season. Each emerging flower or green brings a new creative inspiration, each one replacing the last from what the weather brings in that particular year. Every season brings new favorites which I add to my ever growing list. Always changing, always new, always beautiful!” #flowersmakeeverythingbetter #portlandflorist #portlandfloristshop #pdxflorist #pdxflowershop #pnwflorist #pnwflorists #smallbizpdx
