Data di messa in onda: Ott 12, 2019

This programme follows the global network for cut flowers. Every year, more than 8 billion US dollars worth of flowers are cut, packaged and sent around the world for display. This industry has historically been dominated by European companies, but now this is changing. Finn Aberdein visits Tambuzi flower farm in Kenya, to see how they grow, sort and prepare beautiful blooms for transportation across the world. Some go straight to their destination, whereas others end up in the huge Royal Floral Holland flower market - the global centre for the flower trade, which processes over 20 million stems every day. Babita Sharma spends some time flower arranging with florist-to-the-stars Simon Lycett, to see why consumers demand the best quality flowers for their special day.
