Episode 8: Floral Holidays, Pricing and Availability

Mother's Day is just around the corner -- have you contacted your florist yet? On this episode of Flower Talk Alaska, Kasara, Natasha and Taline talk about what it's like to be in the floral industry during major floral holidays. Why are roses more expensive on Valentine's Day? Why are wedding florals so expensive? Why isn't my favorite florist available for an event on May 9? We'll answer all these questions, plus, Taline has a helpful tip on prolonging the life of your flowers at home.
