Luxflora’s annual Flower Run celebrates Luxflora‘s mission to develop a visionary, influential floriculture network in which women leaders can create, inspire, and flourish. The 5K event was an opportunity for all floriculture professionals to come together to network, build relationships, and to have some healthy fun, says Luxflora President Rebecca Lusk.

Participants line up for the Flower Run 5K on the Sunday morning of Cultivate’17.

“I personally could not be more pleased with how the industry supported the event,” Lusk says. “I am grateful that Luxflora had the opportunity and platform to offer such an event in conjunction with Cultivate and we want to graciously thank our sponsorship partners, AmericanHort and GIE for their support and collaboration in making this event such a success.”

Based on feedback from participants and current and potential sponsors, the Flower Run 5K is sure to become an annual fixture event at Cultivate, Lusk says. The organization also plans to broaden its scope of networking opportunities in the coming year.
