Behind the Scenes of a Floral Wonderland
Our guided tour takes you on an exclusive, behind-the-scenes journey into the heart of our flower warehouse. Learn how each stem is carefully handled—from the moment the flowers are harvested to their final destination in our store. Discover the art and science behind flower selection and preparation, including expert tips like cutting stems at a 45-degree angle for optimal water absorption and the importance of removing leaves below the waterline to keep your blooms fresh.

One of the highlights of the tour is our live flower arranging demonstration. Watch as our expert florist transforms a simple collection of blooms into a stunning arrangement right before your eyes. Learn design fundamentals such as balancing colors, creating focal points, and layering flowers to add depth and dimension. Whether you're a seasoned arranger or a complete beginner, you'll pick up plenty of practical tips and creative techniques that you can take home.
​
Interactive and Hands-On Experience
After the demonstration, it's time to get creative yourself! Enjoy ample time to browse through our extensive selection of premium flowers and floral accessories. From vases and ribbons to specialty tools, you’ll have the chance to handpick everything you need to craft your own personalized arrangement at warehouse prices! This interactive session is perfect for bus tour groups, offering a unique blend of learning, creativity, and relaxation.
