My name is Dirk Lorenz, I am the owner of Fremont Flowers and have been a retail florist for 28 years. I also own Marlowes Flowers and Navlets Flowers. I have a wholesale florist called Bay Area Wholesale. I have acquired the additional retail florists mentioned above as a result of the economy and the changes taking place in the Floral industry. Although these acquisitions have helped me personally, I am saddened by these consolidations as it is my private case study of what is happening to our industry. Therefore I have become proactive in affecting change as a founding member of Florist For Change. I feel by communicating on FlowerChat we can gain the groundswell of support needed to affect change in the floral industry.
