Thank you!

A special thank you to The Gems Group for generously donating flowers that were shared with the students of a University of Florida MBA class, where AFIA’s Executive Vice President Christine Boldt was a guest speaker.

The students were not only inspired by Christine’s insights but also impressed by the vibrancy and importance of the floral industry. Taking flowers home after class gave them the opportunity to reflect on what they learned and continue the conversation beyond the classroom.

Moments like these help plant seeds for the future—encouraging the next generation of professionals to appreciate flowers, share them with others, and perhaps even become customers or advocates for the floral industry. 🌺✨
