Who we are:
Today, 83% of the flowers that we buy are shipped from megafarms and high volume importers over multi-day journeys from thousands of miles away. This makes flowers expensive, difficult to regulate, and unsustainable. Flower businesses, customers, and the planet bear a heavy cost.
Gather Flora is a venture-backed early stage startup building new levels of efficiency, quality, traceability, and sustainability into the supply network of the $80 billion floriculture industry. In 2023, we served more than 1,000 local flower businesses across the US and moved more than $1 million in flowers. Our mission-driven, ambitious company is seeking a Los Angeles Market Staff team member to work closely with our Los Angeles Showroom lead to sustain an incredible location.
