Where do all the Valentine's Day flowers come from?


Listen Later

February 14th has many of us looking around and asking: What percentage of flowers are purchased on Valentine's Day? 


There’s just no escaping the mass of flowers seen in florists, or on your social media feeds, regardless if you’ve a Valentine or not. Here’s an interesting fact about Valentine’s Day. It alone makes up around 10% of the annual demand for cut flowers. That's all in one day! 


But most of the flowers you see have actually come from the other side of the world. The supply chain for flowers is a complex and fascinating trade. 


In this episode, Darcy and Sascha discuss the size of Valentine’s Day around the world, just how big the flower industry has become, and the environmental impact of the flower industry.
