Mt. Eden Floral Company - What we do

The Mt. Eden group of companies is a California based, third generation business with a 100 years of experience in the floral industry. Having started exclusively as a rose grower selling in the San Francisco flower market, Mt. Eden became vertically integrated and diversified over the years. The company now distributes floral products through many different channels.

Mt. Eden has a wide range of products, services and locations. Wholesale product offerings include imported and domestic fresh flowers, cut greens, and bouquets, as well as domestic and imported floral supplies. Mt. Eden's imported fresh flower program includes flowers from Ecuador, Columbia, Mexico, Thailand and Hawaii. Products from these areas will expand in volume and variety in the future. The domestic flower program includes flowers available from every domestic production area.

Handtied Bouquets® lead the parade of products that Mt. Eden offers to our customers. The open look of the bouquets is enhanced by the use of the many California seasonal flowers available from west coast flower producers.

Mt. Eden carries more than fresh flowers. A full line of floral supplies boasts over 8000 items. Mt. Eden's floral supply inventory has the depth and diversity to service the basic supply market as well as appeal to high-end designers. Both Spring and Christmas novelty items, for example, are purchased for a particular merchandising "look". These "looks" are featured in Mt. Eden's stores and two symposium style shows each year, which are among the largest individual wholesale shows in the United States.

Greenhouse products include standard and miniature carnations as well as the new dwarf miniature carnation potted plant. The dwarf miniature carnation potted plants and other items have been developed through selective breeding and plant hybridization at our joint venture with a Japanese trading company.

Production and distribution are accomplished via a network of greenhouse, wholesale and shipping facilities located in the San Francisco and Los Angeles flower markets, and in Hayward and Mountain View, California. With a history of strength, stability and with an ongoing commitment to innovation and change, Mt. Eden has vigorously made the changes necessary to thrive in the 21st century.
