The local florist charges too much, all I need is weekly fresh flower supply. I will do the arrangements myself. I would need about 80 stems, and 20 foliage/grass per week. Any help would be appreciated
Where can I find a flower wholesaler to supply fresh flowers every week for my small Hotel in Horley, Surrey?

Most cut flowers are sold through the flower market (Bloemenmarkt) at Aaalsmeer in Holland and consignments are shipped throughout Europe to florists and commercial resellers. There are 10 or so florists around and about you in Horley, Redhill %26amp; Reigate so you could visit each one and ask them whether they would be willing to add an additional box to their order each week and you pay them cost plus a reasonable handling charge. This would ensure that your business doesn%26#039;t go to a competitor and they get additional volume with the supplier (reducing their prices). You%26#039;ll have to %26#039;sell%26#039; the idea to them as I think the quantity you need is too small for a unique delivery to you. If you don%26#039;t ask - you don%26#039;t get! Good luck :-)
Reply:I always buy my fresh flowers from tesco. They always last me about 2 weeks, and I think they do a delivery as well That%26#039;s if you have a tescos near you . good luck.
Reply:I would suggest you start with Tesco, but seriously consider adding a small greenhouse on your property if you can. Your climate is mild enough to order flowering plants and raise them year-round so you can get your 80 stems and 20 foliage cheaper. Or you can look up local nurseries and see who is raising stock for florists - if there is nothing local, than see what the delivery trucks say that pull up to the local florist and buy your stock directly from their supplier - why not? You will need to snoop around a little to find this out, but if they can deliver to that florist, they can come down the street and deliver to you as well. ;)
