5.00Terrific tour by the Man himself - 5th generation grower. Charming, funny, warm and handsome too. The tour of the farm and explanation/demo of the art of flower arranging and participation in the ferias was amazing. It was a unique experience and we were welcomed into the family home with open arms.
