“I was born in a rose!”: Laurence Vesper, florist in Colmar
Laurence Vesper has been passionate about flowers since she was little.I was born in a rose, my parents and my grandfather passed on this passion to me. We start with the seed, it gives small shoots, then comes the plant. This shows that we can make flowers in Alsace. These are flowers that travel less, they have a better hold. In Alsace, we are big consumers of flowers and it is part of our heritage“, explains the manager of this flower farm.
