Welcome... to the website of the British Florist Association, BFA

' the public voice of the UK Flower Industry'.  

Our website is primarily aimed at professional florists, however if you're a consumer we have a special consumer section for you, with flower care tips and other information. You may also be interested in our image gallery.  Our brand new website has been designed by our corporate member, FloristPro.

The British Florist Association is the only trade association in the florist industry that is recognised by Government both here and in Brussels. As the exclusive UK member of FLORINT, the International Florist Organisation, the BFA is recognised as the ‘voice of the industry’ representing nearly 6,500 florists.  Although recognised by the Government, the BFA is not government funded, and we rely on our membership subscriptions for funding.
