Sunroad International floraltradecenter Grand Opening

The San Diego International Floral Trade Center closed its doors on April 25th after 24 years on Avenida Encinas in Carlsbad. Earlier this month the new Sunroad Floral Trade Center, also located in Carlsbad, celebrated its Grand Opening with over 500 guests in attendance. The event was sponsored by the center’s vendors, floral suppliers and several California Flower Farms. There was lots of food, giveaways, raffles and to top off the evening - a Wonderful presentation by our friend Rene’ van Rems, AIFD.

 

San Diego county is home to many Protea Farms so setting up a colorful display was an absolute must!
 

Lots of gorgeous Protea, Leucadendron, Kangaroo Paw, Grevillea, Leucospermum and more decorated the table.
 

 It's always fun to visit with Rene' and talk 'Protea'!

As usual, Rene's pesentation was fun, colorful, creative and informative. There were plenty of fabulous designs on display and many that featured Proteaceae. Many thanks to Rene' for always sharing his enthusiasm and love for the flowers we grow!
