Why Do Students, Educators and Researchers Join SAF? 

“I value membership in SAF because it historically has helped, and continues to aid, educators to keep up with changes in the floral industry.  SAF supports my work in numerous ways. SAF’s Annual convention is a platform for industry updates and interaction.  I value Floral Management magazine and share it with my students. Being a good teacher means being a good facilitator. SAF helps me to stay in touch with the retail floral business and helps me pass updated information to Agents, students and the public.”
