OUR STORY

A history of quality and a passion for greens.

It all started with a deep-rooted passion for forestry, farming, and people.

In 2009 we purchased our first farm near the iconic Mt. St. Helens in Washington. Fast forward to 2014, we had the opportunity to acquire Continental Wholesale Florist based in San Antonio, Texas embarking on a fresh chapter for the company. Under new leadership and vision for the future, we assembled an amazing group of leaders and rebranded the company Continental Floral Greens.

Our focus on the customer, our team members, and farms is paramount and is the foundation for our core values. Since 2014 CFG has experienced remarkable growth expanding our operations throughout the US and abroad.

‍
Our niche is Specialty Farm to Market, a dedication to providing superior quality floral products directly from our farms to wholesalers and mass market retailers.

Our range spans a top-tier Christmas assortment, including wreaths, garlands, and centerpieces, to bulk everyday greenery, dried goods, and Just Add Blooms® greenery bouquets.

We have deep-rooted expertise in floral greenery, proudly cultivating and delivering specialty products that celebrate the beauty and versatility of nature and our farms.
