What You Will Learn:
Join us for a Cut Flower Field Day designed for growers, floriculture professionals, Extension personnel, and anyone interested in the expanding cut flower market in the Southeast—plus two days of trade show access at Southeast Green.
Participants will hear from Dr. Cassity-Duffey on ongoing cut flower trials, including production practices, observations, and considerations for market success. GGIA will share industry trends and opportunities, and the Atlanta Flower Collective will discuss cooperative marketing and distribution models that are strengthening local supply chains.
The program concludes with dedicated time for networking and discussion, offering valuable opportunities to connect, exchange ideas, and build relationships within Georgia’s growing cut flower community.
Your registration includes trade show access to Southeast Green on both Wednesday and Thursday—giving you even more opportunities to explore, learn, and connect across the green industry.
