THE BIGGEST FLOWER PRODUCERS IN THE WORLD

1. THE NETHERLANDS: THE GLOBAL FLOWER HUB
Known as the “Flower Capital of the World,” the Netherlands produces over 50% of the world’s flowers. Famous for its tulips, the country is also a major exporter of roses, lilies, and chrysanthemums. The Aalsmeer Flower Auction, one of the largest in the world, handles millions of blooms daily, ensuring fresh flowers are shipped worldwide, including to Australia.

2. COLOMBIA: THE ROSE POWERHOUSE
Colombia is the second-largest flower exporter globally, known for its high-quality roses, carnations, and alstroemerias. With ideal growing conditions in the Andes Mountains, Colombian flowers are vibrant and long-lasting. They are transported via air freight to maintain freshness during their journey to Australia.

3. ECUADOR: PREMIUM ROSES AND BEYOND
Ecuador produces some of the world’s finest roses, renowned for their large blooms and vibrant colors. The country’s high-altitude farms provide the perfect environment for premium flowers, which are carefully packed and shipped to florists worldwide, including Stem Design.

4. KENYA: SUSTAINABLE AND BEAUTIFUL BLOOMS
Kenya has become a key player in the global flower market, particularly for roses and summer flowers. With a focus on sustainable farming practices, Kenyan flowers are a popular choice for eco-conscious brides and event planners.

5. AUSTRALIA: LOCAL FLORAL GEMS
While we source globally, Australia is home to stunning native flowers such as proteas, banksias, and eucalyptus. These unique blooms are perfect for adding texture and a local touch to your wedding or event.

HOW FLOWERS MAKE THEIR WAY TO YOUR EVENT IN AUSTRALIA

The journey of flowers from global farms to your event is a meticulous process. Here’s how it happens:

• Harvesting and Packing: Flowers are harvested at the peak of freshness and carefully packed to prevent damage.
• Air Freight: To ensure blooms remain fresh, they are transported via refrigerated air cargo.
• Customs and Quarantine: Imported flowers undergo strict inspections by Australian authorities to ensure they meet biosecurity standards.
• Distribution: Once cleared, flowers are sent to wholesalers and florists, ready to be arranged for your special day.
