The Flower Podcast

Celebrating 35 Years of the ASCFG with Scott Shepherd


Listen Later

After spending this week with the flower growing community of the Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers, also know as ASCFG, I’ve come away more inspired and encouraged to see more growers and especially so many first time attendees to this very full conference. I’m Scott Shepherd and this is The Flower Podcast, where I love to chat with florists, floral designers, and flower farmers all over the world. Today I’d like to stress the importance of connection, connection between grower and designer or floral entrepreneurs.

The ASCFG conference was very special this year as they celebrated their 35th anniversary, while also celebrating Judy Laushman which has been a part of the ASCFG since the very beginning and this year she’s retiring. When you see an organization like this and the tremendous impact it’s had not only on the flower farmers and growers, but on the entire floriculture community all across North America and continues to reach around the world.

What started with Dr. Alan Armitage and Judy Laushman at the University of Georgia 35 years ago has sent ripples out and impacted lives of growers and florists for years to come.
