Ep. 157: Flowers, Friends, Everything But the Kitchen Sink: Jet Fresh's Week in Review!
This week on 2 Fat Guys Talking Flowers, we bring you a quickish episode. With a full bouquet of updates from the past week of Jet Fresh Industry events. We start with the NYBG Orchid Gala Dinner in New York, where Mimi was the ultimate plus-one (Carlos’s honorary date, to be exact). Next, we catch up with Olga, who gave us a quick but sweet rundown of her week volunteering at the Philly Flower Show with the Bill Schaffer Team. Then, Ryan plugs in and shares all about Fleurs De Ville, giving us a glimpse of all the work that went into the dazzling Downton Abbey-inspired displays at Bal Harbor in Miami, FL.
Right after, Fern and Connor were out on the greens for the WFFSA Golf Tournament, setting the stage for a whirlwind WFFSA week. Join the team (minus Mike, we know we miss him too) as we dish on tariffs, networking, partying, and all the flower-filled connections made in just ONE week at Jet Fresh Flowers. Did we mention that every room at Jet Fresh was booked for meetings? That’s why we recorded this episode in the Jet Fresh Kitchen, with coffee brewing, tons of interruptions and Ryan’s Tiramisu Brownies making the rounds. Grab a seat at the table, folks – Let’s just say, we’ve got more chatter than a cooking show!
