Flowersense – honest flowers make more sense

Welcome at FlowerSense!

As friend of FlowerSense it’s obvious you have sense for flowers. We would like to contribute to more knowledge and sense about the people behind the flowers. We truly hope that you will get to know the grower of your products!

On the page ‘Growers’ you will find a story about the grower and his range of products. On the page ‘Flowers’ you can ‘Find Your Flower’ and create your own ‘wishlist’. Be inspired by the photos under ‘inspirationz’ and get to know the ‘specialties’ of the several growers.
