			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I would like to say &#8216;thanks&#8217; to your company for all the wonderful service I received on my wedding day. I ordered 125 long stem red <a title="Roses" href="http://www.growersbox.com/catalog/wholesale-roses-216/">roses</a> and 80 stems of white <a title="Asiatic Lilies" href="http://www.growersbox.com/catalog/asiatic-oriental-lilies-204/">Asiatic Lilies</a> for my wedding.  I just loved the idea of cutting out the middle man.  I have always been very skeptical about ordering from florists, every time I go in a shop everything just looks overpriced and they never had what I needed.  But just ordering them online to be delivered four days before my wedding was super easy to do.  I loved it.</p>
<p><img height="256" width="380" id="image481" alt="Sarah 11" src="http://www.growersbox.com/blog/growersbox/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/jump-small.jpg" /></p>

On the Wednesday before my wedding I received 2 boxes of flowers.  I opened them up quickly because I wasn&#8217;t sure what to expect&#8230; but the wholesale flowers were beautiful.  We took the leaves off and placed them in buckets.  As the day went on, the flowers began to open up even more, and by Friday (the day we put the arrangements together), they looked better than if they came from a local florist.  I got so many compliments on the flowers from my guests.  I told each one of them about <a title="The Grower's Box" href="http://www.growersbox.com/">The Grower&#8217;s Box</a> and I told them I would recommend you 100% for any and all events.</p>

For any customers who are reading this testimonial and wondering if this company is truly right for you, they are.  The Grower&#8217;s Box is well worth your money.  I highly recommend The Grower&#8217;s Box.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With wedding season right around the corner, we have received many inquiries regarding our <a title="Freeze Dried Rose Petals" href="http://www.growersbox.com/catalog/freeze-dried-petals-412/">freeze dried rose petals</a>.  It often appears as though every website has their own way of calculating the quantity of freeze dried rose petals, we thought we would piece together a little entry to help straighten things out&#8230;</p>
<p>The following are rough guidelines for determining the quantity of freeze dried rose petals that you will need.  Please keep in mind that these are GUIDELINES.  Every customer has their own idea of what &#8216;light&#8217;, &#8216;medium&#8217;, or &#8216;heavy&#8217; coverage is&#8230; but these guidelines should help as you calculate how many you need:</p>
<p>1 cup = about 60 freeze dried rose petals</p>
<p>Light Aisle Coverage = 1 cup per square foot<br />
Medium Aisle Coverage = 2 cups per square foot<br />
Heavy Aisle Coverage = 3+ cups per square foot</p>
<p>Light Table Coverage = 3-4 cups per table<br />
Medium Table Coverage = 5-6 cups per table<br />
Heavy Coverage = 7-8 cups per table</p>
<p>Flower Girl&#8217;s Basket = 6-8 cups per basket</p>
<p>As always, please do not hesitate to give us a call at 1-888-297-3000 or send us an email if you have any questions about our freeze dried rose petals.
