New Roses2Go Shop – Killarney Vale – Opening very soon!
Where do I begin today as we have so much to let you know – Roses2Go – is growing once AGAIN!
Yes – we are always growing the finest hydroponic roses here on the Central Coast of New South Wales but our business is “growing” or expanding and really in more ways than one.
Firstly, we are opening up a brand new – Roses2Go Florist in Killarney Vale – yes, another outlet for our farm fresh roses direct from us the growers to YOU! If all goes according to plan – this new shop will be open on 1st July, 2010! We have tonnes to organise and prepare but our entire staff is thrilled & ready to meet the challenge to get this new store up & running in time for a grand opening – so watch this space!

Another exciting venture is about to begin at Roses2Go Florists & A Dozen Roses – The Rose Farm at Warnervale/ Woongarrah – our inaugral basic floristry course specializing in designing with roses starts on Saturday 10th July, 2010 in the training room at the rose farm in Warnervale. This a short course and will be on every Saturday for 4 weeks from 9:30am – 11:00 and will be run by one of our professionally trained staff.
The course will be a very hands-on and practical course in basic floristry specializing in the use of our fresh hydroponic roses direct from our rose farm. All materials and morning tea will be provided plus a FREE – basic floristry kit for each participant – the cost for the entire course & materials will be $180 only per person inclusive of GST.

Roses2Go joins the Wild Fig Alliance Partners
The team at Roses2Go Florists are most excited & proud to be welcomed as a member a very dynamic & exclusive new group on the Central Coast called the Wild Fig. We feel so honoured to be included in this amazing group of people & businesses and look forward to being a active and contributory service partner to the Wild Fig Group.
Filming begins…..
Yes – it is all go here at Roses2Go; we are so incredibly proud of Wade Mann – our rose grower extraordinaire – as the crew starts filming him this week for a brand new 12 part series on “The art of cultivating the finest quality hydroponic roses using the latest environmentally-friendly growing techniques”. In this new program, Wade will be sharing with the world his knowledge, experience & expertise on his secrets to “rose growing success!” I’m sure he will be the new “Steve Irwin” of the commercial rose growers of this world – well, he certainly has the passion. The DVD series will be available for sale at some stage but we wait on the producers for dates – so watch this space! Anyway, this a fun, exciting and brand new challenge for Wade & Roses2Go Florists – A Dozen Roses – The Rose Farm, Warnervale, Australia:-)
Conferences Galore……….My news – amongst juggling – our two florist shops (specialized rose outlets – as we like to call them), the marketing of Roses2Go Florists and the running of A Dozen Roses – Farm Tours (which I must add have been rather busy of late with lots of tourists from all over the world – yey!) – I was lucky enough to be asked to present a paper & speak at the Wild Flower Conference at the Yarra Valley, Victoria.
What was I – a hydroponic rose grower – doing speaking at a Wild Flower Conference, you may ask? Well, our industries are extremely similiar but they are what you call “an infant industry” as opposed to the traditional flower growers as we have been around for many, many years – and the idea was to give them information and structures in place so they don’t make the same mistakes as our industry did and thus they have an easier and more successful progression in their industry.
It was a fantastic conference and I met and spoke with so many interesting & talented people it was truly an honour – and I felt I got so much out of spending the time & listening to other growers, researchers and specialists – it was a real treat!
At the end of this month – I have been asked to present to the Hydroponic Farmers Federation of Victoria at their bi-annual conference in Melbourne – this time on “Marketing” especially for primary producers and smaller growers. This is another wonderful opportunity and I am so looking forward to it.
A photo of me (Nicky Mann) giving a talk at Gosford Rotary – I love to talk – ha! ha!
“Never Give Up” – as my late Mum would say!
So in ending – we (The Mann Family) have nearly been in Australia 7 and half years, and yes we have certainly had our share of ups & downs but if you perservere and are determined & passionate about what you do – GROWTH in your business and personal life will come NATURALLY!
