The Flower Guy
Jason Edmonds Brings the Blooms
Born in the city of the Bard (Stratford Upon Avon), this flower purveyor with a rock star persona learned his trade from the ground up while serving an apprenticeship in the flower auctions of Holland as a teenager – sweeping floors and running errands – all while embodying the spirit of England’s punk music movement. He developed into a buyer at the auction and was one of the first non-Dutch speaking buyers in an arena dominated by Dutch traders.
Jason soon became a known commodity in the floral community and began shipping flowers to clients around the world. “Shipping flowers to New York was always my dream, so in 1997 I flew to New York from England to visit some potential clients and I never went home.”
