This year, our customers were treated to a very special event. Tradewinds International held an extravagant Tradewinds Grower Flower Exhibition with 42 growers displaying their products to a collection of 40 member wholesale florists. The growers held their booths open for an extra day so retailers attending our show could have a chance to visit with these off-shore flower producers and see some of the magnificent flowers that are just now coming into the market place.

PetalSong , a brand name reserved for use by selected Tradewinds growers and wholesalers, was introduced at our show by Paul Harris of Tradewinds International. PetalSong flowers will be sold through Tradewinds Wholesalers on a standing order basis only. The branded flowers will be packed and labeled at the farm with the retail florist's name on each box, and shipped with a strict adherance to cold-chain standards.
