About Us

The Florist Guide’s mission is to provide a complete resource for florists, flower gardeners, hobbyists and flower enthusiasts alike. To be the one site someone needs to go to if they’re interested in anything related to flowers.

We offer a wide range of knowledge, from in-depth guides that help florists along in their careers to informative articles for flower gardeners to reviews of the best tools for flower arranging.

We launched in 2013 publishing only in English, but have since translated our content into five other languages to cater to readers’ preferred language. To read in other languages select your language from the language switcher at the top.
