All over the world flowers are traded on a huge scale, linking together growers, wholesalers, florists, exporters, and customers who are located on different continents. Although some flower markets are massive commercial centres, others are well known for their ambiance, the variety of flowers on offer, and their association with local traditions. For those travelling who like photography, gardens and local culture, these markets provide a vibrant means of experiencing a destination.
Mike Savage from Connecticut values travel experiences that show something special about a place, and he finds global flower markets especially interesting since these markets bring together commerce, culture, agriculture, and remarkable logistics in a single setting.
