In the past, flowers were an essential part of everyday life in New York, especially in Manhattan and Kings County. The thing is, in the mid-1800s, there was an unbearable stench because of unsanitary conditions. People said they could smell Manhattan from 3 miles away. So they put fresh flowers in their homes to cover up the foul smell from the streets. Due to a lack of proper hygiene, restaurants also had tables with flowers to mask the unpleasant body odor of their customers.

History of the flower business \u200b<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One of the most famous and oldest flower markets in the region is the Union Square Flower Market in New York. It was founded on Saturday, April 11, 1891. Plants and cut flowers were sold here. From the 1870s to the 1930s, Manhattan experienced transformation. With the growth of population, new buildings were built and businesses appeared. The flower market was becoming more competitive. By 1900, there were 237 flower nurseries in New York State. As a result, the variety of flowers offered at the Union Square market increased while their cost was reduced. Roses were sold for $1 per dozen. The price for azalea started from $3.50 per plant and potted Boston ferns were sold for $1. Most flowers were delivered from local farms located on Long Island, rural areas of New York State and New Jersey. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, florist clubs and associations emerged. Therefore, larger batches of flowers could be ordered and florists could reach greenhouses and nurseries in distant states such as Massachusetts, Kentucky, Kansas, Illinois and Florida. The flower business thrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bushwick florists<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Brooklynites who reside in the Bushwick neighborhood say that the majority of petty flower vendors in this district come from Central and South America. No one knows the reason for it. Probably, it is related to the fact that some migrants came from agricultural regions. After all, a person who comes from the countryside and is used to being engaged in farming is striving for things that are closer to their heart. Moreover, such work can remind people of the countries they came from and reconnect them with their culture and heritage. In this way, they can also establish a connection between their new home and place of origin. It should be noted that Brooklyn is home to a substantial number of immigrants. Business affairs vary. Although florists whose shops are situated in the gastronomic district are not considered street vendors, some started selling bouquets on the streets before they had enough money<\/a> to rent the premises. Flower sellers in Bushwick, just like street traders, make the city more lively and vibrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
