An agricultural enterprise cultivating flowering plants, often on a small to medium scale, is a type of business that focuses on the production and sale of fresh-cut flowers, bouquets, or potted flowering plants. These businesses may operate as retail outlets, wholesale suppliers, or a combination of both, distributing their products through various channels such as farmers’ markets, florists, and direct-to-consumer sales.
Such enterprises contribute to local economies by generating income, creating employment opportunities, and supporting related industries, such as packaging and transportation. Historically, small-scale flower cultivation has played a role in diversifying agricultural landscapes and providing consumers with access to locally grown floral products, fostering a connection between communities and the natural environment.
