We were so excited to share our passion for Proteas with over 75 members of the Temecula Valley Garden Club. Hands down that had to be one of our favorite events this month. Our presentation consisted of all the things we love so much, the amazing array of proteas being grown here in California, growing tips and the delicious ways we arrange them… bouquets, designs and wreaths.
As many of you may know, autumn is the best time of the year to plant proteas. Plants that are established in the fall and winter grow faster in the spring and require less water when summer comes. This event gave us an excuse to bring along some plants, bouquets and wreaths, and for the members to take home and enjoy.
The Temecula Valley Garden Club is a nonprofit organization with 160 members, that aims to encourage interest in home gardening, promote better horticultural practices, conserve natural resources and aid civic groups. It also provides a wonderful place for those who share a common interest in gardening, to become acquainted and develop meaningful friendships.
We’re beyond thrilled to share the news that Resendiz Brothers won the 2018 Marketer of the Year Award from the Society of American Florists’ (SAF) Floral Management magazine.
This prestigious award highlights forward-thinking SAF members who are creating new pathways to get ahead of the competition, to give them deserved kudos but also to offer everyone else some timely inspiration. “It recognizes businesses that see an opportunity, craft a solution and then work their tails off to succeed. Taken as a group, Marketer of the Year award winners show an industry brimming with entrepreneurs, risk-takers, out-of-the-box thinkers, and perhaps most important of all, people who are willing to share the “secrets” of their success for the benefit of others”, said Mary Westbrook, SAF’s Editor in Chief.
What made for Resendiz Brothers’ winning entry? We’ve since learned that Marketer of the Year judges were impressed with our ability to propel Proteas into the national spotlight and raise their profile among consumers, the media and industry professionals with dazzling results.
As the Marketer of the Year Award winner, Resendiz Brothers is the cover story on the October 2018 issue of Floral Management. [See the full story here.]
This recognition is truly an honor. And the attention it brings to the Protea Family – is absolutely Incredible!
