Let's talk about race
Is there a lack of diversity in the flower industry? Are we failing to appeal to everyone we can? Are there people of colour who feel disadvantaged?
As far as Hazel Gardiner, a dual-heritage floral designer, is concerned the answer is yes and it's up to all of us to change. Because as she says "Conversations [about race] can be difficult, uncomfortable and trigger confrontation but without discussions there can’t be education"
In the first of a series that will cover diversity in the flower industry we meet Hazel to find out how we can all help make a difference. Click here to read the interview and if you want to add to the discussion email us
