Happy Valentine’s Eve, Freshies ❤️
This week on The Fresh Bunch, News Anchor Mimi is back reporting live from Jet Fresh Cash & Carry, chatting with local Miami floral pros about the real story behind Valentine’s Day. We’re talking about how V-Day steals birthday thunder for florists, why burgundies and darker, moodier tones are dominating this year’s designs, and how to to work with the VIP Choco Wax Roses from Jet Fresh Growers.
We also get into the surprising truth: most florists love Mother’s Day way more than Valentine’s. (Sorry, Cupid.)
Head Coach Mike opens up in a full-on Valentine therapy session, sharing his honest feelings about the floral holiday — the pressure, the gratitude, and the sweet relief of February 15th. No jokes this week… just appreciation for the customers, the team, and making it through one of the biggest days in flowers.
It’s real, it’s reflective, and it’s all love from the Fresh Bunch.
See you on the other side of Valentine’s
