Trip to Holland 15th - 18th September 08
FloraHolland - the largest Flower Auction in the world
How do you get almost any flower from a grower to a customer - anywhere in the world - within 24hours? That is the achievement of FloraHolland. Full details can be read in their brochure (click here). It is 'owned' by approx 6000 members whose flowers are auctioned in 12 auction halls at 6 locations.
1st view inside the 100 acre site. On the hall floor the trolleys containing the different flowers are moved around, around and around!
There is a balcony around the viewing hall for visitors.
