Members Section

.
The Maine State Florists' and Growers' Association strives to provide for all its members different educational opportunities during the year, at various locations in the state, through design shows, seminars and trade fairs.

These functions are intended to keep members up to date with the latest trends and advancements within the industries as well as to provide members with the opportunity to talk with each other to gain other perspectives into their operations in different areas of the state.

MSFGA also promotes the floral and nursery industry in other areas by having its representatives go to various functions at the State House, meetings with the State Secretary of Agriculture, and co-sponsors design shows at public fairs to help with consumer education.

MSFGA is always trying to find more ways to promote the industries of its members and to provide benefits to its members.

Please check Professional Certified Florists and Maine Master Florists pages for updates. Classes will be held at Bennett Wholesale, 74 Dowd Road, Dowd Industrial Park, Bangor ME.

Excerpt from a note from a Maine State Florist's & Growers' Association scholarship recipient: "Thank you so much for the scholarship. What a thrill to be going to Kansas City in July to get AIFD Accreditation. AIFD has been a life long dream, I give all the credit to the Maine State Florists' Association for all the educational opportunities, classes and world class designers that have been keynote presenters. Carmen and Ann have been amazing - creating classes that are unique from any other Association. Mark and Debbie now inspire the new students in the Maine Masters course. It has been twelve years since someone in Maine has become AIFD. I hope I can be an example to have others test." Congratulations Janet, we wish you the best and encourage all our members to become part of our education programs.
