Today, I’m calling this a holiday edition as we talk about one of my favorites…. Foliage and this time of year I especially love Christmas greens. So I am excited to welcome an expert in the world of floral greenery, F.J. Trzuskowski, Vice President of Sales at Continental Floral Greens.
F.J.'s journey in the floral industry, from his early days in Holland to his current role at Continental Floral Greens, positions him perfectly to offer invaluable insights into these seasonal favorites. With a career that has spanned several notable companies and a rich educational background in Botany and Landscape Architecture, F.J. brings a unique blend of practical experience and scientific knowledge to the table.
Today we are touching on foliage, but really focusing on the best practices for choosing, preparing, and maintaining Christmas greens to ensure they remain a vibrant and fresh part of your holiday decorations. Plus we having fun chatting about several other greens that CFG supplies for a large portion of florists everywhere like leather leaf and salad.
So, this week we truly are on a floral journey of decking the halls and it starts now on The Flower Podcast.
