I
n 1991 a group of Young Executives from the Wholesale Florist and Floral Supplier Association, WF&FSA, created a flower education program called, "Growing Up With Flowers" Flower Industry friends, Laura Kantakis, John Dillon, Lee Sorensen, Lisa Allensworth, Gregg Wilke, Katy Miller, Dave Garcia, Eric Levy and Kenny Hopkins and I worked together with little funding and lots of enthusiasm to create a flower education program for youth, with the result of hopefully increasing demand for flowers with a positive educational experience. In 1993 a Wholesale, Retail, Educators Guide and a Coloring Book were unveiled. This video was created in 1995 and "The Flower Song" which I wrote, was included to help interested parties to begin their presentation and to get the attention of pre-school and kindergarten students. PDF's of the original guides, coloring book and this video are all available. DM me for your copy. The materials may be dated yet sharing the beauty of flowers with kids never gets old. #flowers #GrowingUpWithFlowers #WFFSA
