Hello, most of my family has been in farming for years. I live in Canada at the moment where my parents have dairy farmed however most of my relatives in the Netherlands run flower farms and I would also like to get involved.

Presently I'm studying software engineering, but I'm switching to a more agricultural university so I can hopefully get a dual degree in Software Engineering and Horticulture or something along those lines.

How do I get into flower farming? Where do I start? What kinds of classes should I take?

I want to start a farm in somewhere like Kenya because there's not much of a flower industry here in Canada.

Thanks,

Anon

If your relatives already run flower farms, why not ask them?

If you want a distributor, just Google to buy large quantity of flowers and contact the wholesaler about selling your stuff.

If you want to know about farming you don't need to go to uni, just get a book on the sub. Or better yet, get someone off of craiglist to teach you.

Just buy seeds and plant them, go to any wholesaler and sell your stuff.

I'm kind of in a similar situation, how do you combine these two subjects??

Yeah I will be, I'm going there to the Netherlands to work for a few months with my uncle. My parents are involved in a different agricultural field.

I'm more interested in growing the plants in particular rather than working in distribution but I guess it might be a good option to get me started.

I'm going to uni either way so I might as well take courses in it rather than something irrelevant.

How to make them work together? I thought about it and you could work for companies that make automation equipment for farms or something.
