Florverde certified flower growers recognized at international flower show
Written by Amanda Ryder   
Florverde flower farms, practices and flowers, continue to be recognized around the globe. Most recently, the Russian Flower Show awarded eight Florverde flower farms with gold and silver medals of distinction for flower quality.

Reaffirming the organization's commitment to the highest standards for flowers in the industry, Florverde(R) received more recognition than any other certified group exhibiting at the Russian Flower Show, which took place in Moscow from September 4-7.  In fact, in some floral categories, the quality of Florverde-grown blooms were ranked by the judges as superior to the varieties of the more than 20 countries participating in the show.

The distinctions awarded Florverde(R) at the international flower shows come only a few months after GLOBALG.A.P. (The Global Partnership for Good Agricultural Practice) recognized the organization's socio-environmental practices with the GLOBALG.A.P. international seal.  GLOBALG.A.P. is a private sector body that sets voluntary standards for the certification of agricultural products around the globe. The GLOBALG.A.P. seal and standard is one of the most important and recognizable certifications in the world promoting sustainable agricultural practices.  Florverde(R) and GLOBALG.A.P. standards are now equivalent and mutually accepted by all trading partners.
