US: San Francisco Flower Market has grand opening for wholesale facility

The San Francisco Flower Market (SFFM) has announced the grand opening of its brand-new wholesale facility. This market not only honors over a century of San Francisco's floral heritage but also marks a new chapter as it transitions into a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting Northern California's vibrant floral agriculture industry.

Located at 901 16th Street in Potrero Hill, the new SFFM facility offers an upgraded shopping experience for wholesale buyers, florists, and designers while enhancing the sustainability and operational capabilities of its vendors. With approximately 22 subtenants representing the best in floral and foliage production, the market is poised to serve Northern California's floral industry for decades to come.

"The opening of this extraordinary new market is a testament to the resilience, creativity, and passion of San Francisco's floral community," said Jeanne Taggart Boes, Executive Director of the San Francisco Flower Market. "The SF Flower Market is a living symbol of our city's enduring beauty and culture. This facility allows us to nurture our legacy while propelling Northern California's floral industry into an exciting future. From fostering sustainability to inspiring the next generation, our mission as a nonprofit ensures that this region's floral heritage will thrive for generations to come."

Pat Dahlson, CEO of Mayesh Wholesale, expressed his enthusiasm about the market's transformation, stating, "The new San Francisco Flower Market is like a fresh bouquet—vibrant, inspiring, and full of possibility. San Francisco has always been a jewel of the state, as far as being a flower-consuming and flower-producing area. This innovative facility reflects that legacy while embracing the future of the floral industry".

As part of its nonprofit mission, the San Francisco Flower Market is also focused on advancing floral education and fostering the next generation of industry leaders. The organization is working to introduce floral agriculture programs in local schools, create mentorship opportunities, and launch initiatives that bridge the gap between growers and designers.
